Re: ToY: Possessed

Thanks everyone!! I'm glad it's been so well received. I know I usually do stupid meaningless brickfilms, but I wanted to try something new this time, and I can see from your responses that I did it at least somewhat well. mini/mrgreen Good luck to all the other entrants!

Re: ToY: Possessed

The first toy entry I watched and it immediatly sets the tone for the contest. It is a short, entertaining brickfilm. It is animated well and it has some interesting camera angles and movements. The story was simple, but well told. Although I think you could have done more with the story rather than just some action sequencies. But for something made in 2 weeks it is definitely ok. Also great character design, the monster might be one the scariest things I've ever seen in a brickfilm.

Re: ToY: Possessed

I suppose the fact that I exclaimed "Oh wow!" halfway through the film means I liked it. To be specific, it was the Slenderman-squid reveal.

Re: ToY: Possessed

Amazing work, if a little short. I would have preferred a more fleshed-out ending. Other than that, a close to perfect entry.

Re: ToY: Possessed

I watched this again today (in HD, no less!) and was, again, impressed.

Where this brickfilm really succeeds is in its style. The look, the camera work, the character design - all top-notch. There were so many moments I loved; moments like the tentacles' reveal and subsequent writhing, the horse's attack, the stealthy minifigure walking - gold, all of it.

Where it's less successful, however, is its story. There's no time to get more than a cursory sense of characterization and the denouement of the story seems engineered more for an audience reaction than for anything else. But y'know, all that's okay. The breakneck pace and 2:55 running time make such things secondary and to even have made something that works this well in under two weeks is something to be proud of.

It's cool to see what you've pulled off when trying for something more serious and I very much look forward to more such endeavors in the future.

P.S. This is definitely one I'm downloading for the collection. mini/bigsmile

Re: ToY: Possessed

After not watching brickfilms for about 2 months, this is a great refresher! I can't really add much more to what others have said other than I think it was incredible and the open-ended ending was a really effective way to have an intense short film not just get cut off and crash and burn.
Excellent work!

Re: ToY: Possessed

Jargon, you'll be happy to know that I have a couple serious films scripted, waiting to be produced. mini/mrgreen
