Topic: "Brick to Brick" A Brickfilm Review "Podcast" (Episode 2 now out!)

http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/RealBrick/BrickToBrick/btb.png
Hello, and welcome to the official thread for Brick to Brick.

A Few Questions Answered

What is Brick to Brick?
Brick to Brick is a podcast Lucas Mass and myself have begun in which we take in suggestions on films to review and review them so you listeners can play the video in sync with the podcast (there will be a tone to help you out with that) and hear our commentary while you enjoy your favorite film.

How do I keep up with the video?
When we begin the video, you will hear a tone play, when this happens, you are to begin to play the film. We watch the films on YouTube if the video is available there, so we recommend to use YouTube for best synchronization.

Another Podcast? Give me a break!
Not so fast, this is not really much of a podcast, as we strongly don't recommend watching it without the videos. We try to stay on topic (it's harder than it sounds) and do our best to keep the podcast as clean and fast as we can.

I have an awesome idea for a film to review! Can I make suggestions?
Yes, We encourage this! Please leave a post in the thread, or private message Lucas Masse or myself and we will put it into consideration.

Will there be guest reviewers?
If everything runs smoothly, yes, there should be, but in order to be a guest reviewer on the show, you must:

  • Have a Skype

  • Agree not to use vulgar language on the show

  • Agree not to make inappropriate references on our show (We have users under the age of 13, remember)

  • Try to keep on topic and not stray off too far

How do I know if my film could be reviewed on the show?
Well, we have film requirements along with guest requirments:

  • Be at least 0:45 seconds long

  • Contain no Strong Language, Strong Violence, or Strong Sexual Themes

  • Be shot at 12 fps or more

  • Contain minimal to no light flicker, set bumps, or other common flaws.

What happens if my film gets accepted?
Well, in most cases ( we didn't do it for the pilot episode simply because we didn't give it any thought, I hope it is okay with the three people who got their films reviewed without warning) We will private message you telling you that your film was selected and asking permission to review it unless:

  • The member has been inactive for 4 months

  • The member has been banned

  • The brickfilmer has no BricksinMotion account

And if the member wants, they may be a guest on the show so they can give director commentary.

just watched / listened to it

its awesome    mini/bigsmile

Re: "Brick to Brick" A Brickfilm Review "Podcast" (Episode 2 now out!)

I was I little worried It was going to be another podcast at first! This is actually a pretty good idea. The main problem is that you don't know the behind the scenes stuff that the creators do. You should really have the creators be commentators for their own films.

Awesome! I can't believe no one's done this before! Can't wait for the next one, keep it up guys!

Re: "Brick to Brick" A Brickfilm Review "Podcast" (Episode 2 now out!)

Thanks for the feedback guys. If you got a video that you would want us to review then just give us a message here on BiM!

Re: "Brick to Brick" A Brickfilm Review "Podcast" (Episode 2 now out!)

This is a great idea, but I really love Brenden's suggestion of having the film's creator be a part of the podcast to answer your questions/respond to your comments.  You could just let him/her know ahead of time when you are going to be reviewing the film, and give him/her the option of joining in the conversation.  Then your schedule and choices of films wouldn't be affected, but the film maker can still be a part of the discussion if s/he chooses.

Cool Idea! I'd love one of my films to be reviewed! I just need to make one worth reviewing!  mini/smile

Hello BiM! Not making a comeback but may surf the forums time to time

you should do a review on force unleashed by xxxfancypantsxxx mini/sunnies

Re: "Brick to Brick" A Brickfilm Review "Podcast" (Episode 2 now out!)

A lot of the time you were just saying "I like this part" or "this shot was well done" and I think my suggestion would make the commentaries much more interesting mini/smile

This was wonderful,I loved the interactivity of this! Keep going,that's all I want to say,period. I would like to suggest that in your next episode,you should review "Aladibababad" by Leftfield Studios.

Nothing to say right at this moment... yet. Maybe real soon? mini/wink

Re: "Brick to Brick" A Brickfilm Review "Podcast" (Episode 2 now out!)

I'd suggest reviewing current films. Those who haven't heard of Aladibababad's greatness are plain morons.

Re: "Brick to Brick" A Brickfilm Review "Podcast" (Episode 2 now out!)

Perhaps this might be called a simulcast? Also, considering that this is definitely a discussion "about general aspects of film, with bricks or other mediums," I'm going to move it to General Film Discussion.

Re: "Brick to Brick" A Brickfilm Review "Podcast" (Episode 2 now out!)

This seems more appropriate for riffling on bad Brickfilms - which obviously is cruel (considering Brickfilms are the work of one guy sat in a dark room) and will not happen. Also, short stuff like most of KG's flicks and 'The Force Unleashed' do not allow enough time to engage in deep discussion. I tried to do a Directors Commentary on one of my movies, but the problem was there just wasn't enough time to talk.

Also, you may want to choose new - lesser known Brickfilms, and make the review the first time you've seen it.

But this works. Just be careful of your choices, and keep practising. 'Beast' would be a fun movie to review, since its cheesy but good (surely you could make an exception to the rules?)

I believe this has been done before by the first Brickfilm podcasters Lord of the LEGO and MindGame and something to take from them: Rehearsing.

But well done for your first podcast.

To answer your questions about having the creators on the show. We have always planned on having them on but just not for the pilot.

I guess I may have made it unclear, if the person hasn't been active for 4 months, has been banned, or doesn't have an account, then we will review it anyway. So Beast would be a pretty good suggestion.

Re: "Brick to Brick" A Brickfilm Review "Podcast" (Episode 2 now out!)

That is actually really good! I didn't think that the video review thing would work without showing the video but the tone thing worked! Awesome job. mini/wink
