Ageless on YouTube

Entry in the MoFilm Cannes 2010 Competition:

In this film the age of the Lego brick is represented in two ways.

Spoiler (click to read)

Firstly it follows the experience of a mini figure named Mani. He introduces us to the thrill and accomplishment of building Lego models and the playtime fun to be had afterwards. With the pirate ship he simply dreams about a pirate crew. However with the ferry it is more hands on with some of the cool features. Time passes and as he gets older the complexity of the models he builds increases. Culminating with the premature unveiling of his own design created using the ultimate building toy, Lego Mindstorm.

Re: Ageless

This film has some great animation tied to the music, but apart from the technicalities it didn't really go anywhere. But then again, it's supposed to be a commercial thingie for LEGO. Still, I enjoyed it. Nice big minifig. mini/smile

Re: Ageless

The reason your films keep me interested is because there's never a dull moment. The fast pace keeps it so that there's never an unnecessary pause, or boring speech. The animation was amazing, and may I ask where you got the two larger minifigures? I think the biggest one was a lamp, but I don't know about the middle-sized one. Great film.

Re: Ageless

In hindsight 3 weeks wasn't enough time and I should have spent it working on my Avant-Garde entry.
There was a lot I was unable to finish in time and it made the film a bit random.
What I was able to produce I thought worked out quite well.

Speaking of Avant-Garde it is coming along nicely and I might actually finish it on time <fingers crossed>.
If you like Ageless then you'll love Crime Stories.

Re: Ageless

Awesome Bodville.  The animation and camera movement were excellent.  The little bit at the end with the mindstorm model felt tacked on, but I'm guessing you just ran out of time.  In conclusion, there was no cute little boy so I didn't think it was very good.

I do not care about your opinion, unless it has to do with it needing more ponies.

Re: Ageless

There was actually two over sized figs. The fig that built the pirate ship is almost 3 inches (7cm) tall and was a keychain light. The biggest is a Lego torch and is almost 8 inches (9.5cm).
