This seemed a lot better than your first. It's amazing how your sets can change the quality of your brickfilms.
Great job! 
Is there any special way you put this together? Also (as seen on original post) di you have to remove the ceiling to move the minifig?
That was good! There were a couple of camera bumps near the end but hey, that's better than I could do! 
The ceiling is hinged so when you want to move the figure you just lift it up and lock it back down, very tedious, I can take a pic of my rig if y'all want
Yes take a pic!
If the photo doesn't work here's the link.
Here's the rig I use to film the shots with the ceilings in. There are multiple hinges at the back which allow me to lift the ceiling, then when the ceiling is lifted I move the minifigure, then lower the ceiling and take the shot, then repeat.

Thanks! That's really neat, you thought it out didn't you! Mind if I use your design?

Sure. I'd like more brickfilms to start using ceilings in animation.

That's awesome! 
Awesome! I subscribed on youtube.
The walk cycle in this one was a bit smooth, and the set was greatly improved from you last attempt. I liked the dark lighting that you presented. It was a very nice hallway. One thing I definitely have to critique is the fact that you seem to pan in/pan out WAY too much in your tests recently and I think it's cool when you do it every once in a while, but I for one think it'd get a little old if you did that throughout the whole film in each scene. However that is just my perspective. A muchly improved test .

In the film this shot is being used in it is the only one with a focus pull, the reason I do it in my tests is just as an intro thing rather than the test just starting.
That test is gorgeous and you did amazing job with the ceiling! I can't stop replaying it I love it 
despite the fact it's just a test. I gotta say I'm looking forward to your longer videos! What camera do you use by the way?
Just a QCP9000.
