Dear Fancypants,
Not sure if you know who I am, but I was an old-school member over at brickfilms.com and even reviewed all the films at one stage. I now have a three year old son - which means I haven't animated at all for many years.
Hands down this is one of the best brickfilms I've seen. Just loved it.
It inspired me to animate again yesterday. Thank you.
I am a high school teacher, and I teach one class dedicated to stop motion animation. I'll be showing your film in class tomorrow (and a couple of your tutorials).
It's been a long time since I filmed my light saber battle for Jedi Chronicles The First Duel (have to plug it now don't I?) http://www.thehowlingfantods.com/brickt
-duel.html, your film brought back everything I put into it.
Thanks again,
