behind every successful brickfilm is a good plot and well written script.
Nope.
I think my brickfilms have been relatively successful, and though I have a plot, I have no script.
My style is "Squidy" and that's about half preplanned, but unscripted stuff, and lots of improv with a lot of weird and cool stuff. 
I would have to say that my movies are Squidy also.
Yes I would have to say that I film squidy also. Although sometimes it backfires on me a little bit. Since I don't usually wright out long scripts, I get stuck a lot.....and that's not good 
. I try to capture true human movements because it just makes a Brickfilm more realistic.
I animate in a cartoony style. I sort a model myself off of people like filmyguy and fancypants.
I think I enjoy making random stuff too ;D
I've noticed that almost everybody has written the exact same thing on this thread.
I animate cartoony or realistic or funny depending on the film

I try to animate in realistic but have a VERY funny script. some of my scripts can be found in this topic.

I never have scripts because my films never have dialogue. I normally write down an idea for the basic plot, so I don't forget the details, but the rest I can quite easily keep in my head.
I try to animate my stuff as realistically as I can. Working at 20FPS can be quite challenging sometimes, particularly during fight scenes, but it looks brilliant if you get the timing right.
For my series "Ben and Eric" I often have a little mix between lifelike and cartoony animation. The story line can go from completely hilarious to very serious and exciting. But editing always screws it up...
I always plant story arcs in the background that stays on like a mystery for a very log time like 10 months.
Olol I always plan to much ahead

Same here.
Apart from one or two lines, most of my films don't have a whole lot of talking and focus more on visuals to get the point across. I'm like you, long scripts bore me, and sometimes I can keep the idea of a 1 minute-long film in my head and animate it without putting pencil to paper.
However, I do see the benefit of writing a basic outline for a brickfilm, so you have a vague idea of what you're doing.
As far as my animation style, I try to learn a thing or two from people like MindGame, keeping my animation smooth yet as realistic as I can with plastic minifigs.
i take pictures and post them on the internet. 
no, but seriously, i try to animate life-like. i haven't been animating long enough to know what style i have
