Topic: New Friendly music video WIP

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9QX-u340x8

here's something I've been working on. I tried to get the legos to be synchronized with the music (New Friendly by Kevin MacLeod)
I haven't animated anymore than what I have there, so any suggestions on how I can improve upon it for the ending? It's not flawless but It's good for me.

Light flicker can SUCK it!

Re: New Friendly music video WIP

I like it, man. You should enter this into Avant-Garde, when it is finished! mini/yes

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

Re: New Friendly music video WIP

I have really enjoyed both your films.  They are family-friendly AND creative.  I look forward to seeing what you you will come up with next. mini/bigsmile

As to the ending... I don't know the song ending and what it lends itself to, but I recommend trying something unexpected or a little dramatic (but not too dramamtic so as to be corny) like the bricks radiating out from the center of the base plate in a burst of color or have them form an unusual shape that you hadn't previously shown... ?  You probably have better ideas than I have. mini/smile

Re: New Friendly music video WIP

That was pretty good.  I have been thinking of making bricks go with a song by Kevin MacLeod mini/bigsmile  I think it's coming along nice.  One thing that gets a little boring is when there is one brick dancing around.  It seems that there is a little too much of that.  Things I enjoy are when there are many bricks doing different things at the same time, how the bricks rolled around at 1:52 in the video, and when you did that little fountain thing.  Keep it up!

Re: New Friendly music video WIP

Well I finished all the animation and I was wondering:
A). Is there anything I could do in post production to make it better?
And
B.) Can you think of a better title or should I just keep it how it is?
Please give me ideas!

Re: New Friendly music video WIP

I would maybe change the title to something like "Musical LEGOs" or "Grooving LEGOs".  Not that my ideas are that good though mini/tongue

Re: New Friendly music video WIP

sorry i don't really like those ideas... thanks for trying though mini/smile

Re: New Friendly music video WIP

Ok I have some ideas there kind of silly but let me know if you like one of them.
1). Quick slick brick trick
2). Spatsic plastic
3). Zing thing or zingy thingy

Re: New Friendly music video WIP

one thing i'd do in editing, is maybe change the contrast and brightness to make it look a little funkier, if you can, mini/wink

Re: New Friendly music video WIP

maybe. I think I'll keep it how it is. I also think I'll probably end up just keeping the original title as well mini/lol

Yeah, It's just a tiny bit dark. But really it's awesome. I think maybe you could make loads of bright coloured bricks build themselves into a tower out of the centre of the baseplate then sliding out of place and off screen for the ending. It's cool!
