Yes, good idea.
Alternately we could each only animate about 10 seconds, and then string the stuff together as a BiM "super-trailer," and then make a shorter version for people to share on their channels. That would be close to how we promoted "Brickfilming Is Just Awesome/Boom de ah dah."

I really liked the "Behind-the-scenes" feel of "The Day Brickfilms.com Crashed", so animating something in that vein, or line of thought, would be really cool.

It'll just be prone to the usual "Wait forever of those few guys who haven't finished their clips yet", and will also need somebody to organize and put together the clips, as well as figure out the "story" and what each person needs to do.
For that matter, the "story" could be that you want to boost numbers here, and you get others to gather stuff together to make a BiM promo. Essentially, a story of the real event.

I SO wish I had been able to participate in the last community project, so I'm naturally supportive of another one.
If you're willing to host/organize it, I'll participate. But you'll want a few more to confirm before you get things started.

It would be fun to see another community project happen. The history in the past seems to be that it works best when the ambition of the project is fairly limited, in particular something where people can each submit segments that serve as little vignettes. That way, if somebody bails, you aren't left unable to finish the film without their segment.

Not necessarily? Not to rain on the parade or whatever, but wading through 7 pages of not really related discussion from last year might not be ideal if this is a fresh proposal.

True Smeagol, I was only suggesting to discuss in that thread due to the fact that it is for general community project discussion. I have no problem continuing the discussion here.

I'm chill with this idea. I tried starting (multiple) ideas in that last thread but people didn't really go with it. But people seem to like this one so I'll go along with it.

I personally would much rather one community project, than many, semi-related videos. Although you could compromise and make the one big one, but also allow each animator to post just his segment on his channel.

Then you'd have several self-contained videos, all pointing to the mega-community video. Holding gets his ads, I get my big one. Best of both worlds.

BiM is six years old now, right? I know the year, just not the date.

BiM started in 2008 but the start date is somewhat nebulous given that for a while it was a placeholder blog called ilovebrickfilming.com. I'm not sure when it switched to the BiM domain.

However, there has been a website about LEGO movies called BricksInMotion.com since at least 2001. It was the personal brickfilming site of a brickfilmer named Thomas Foote before he handed it over to us.

There is already one although I don't know if anyone still has access to it. The problem with your idea is that while I'm sure 95% of people on here can be trusted, there is likely to be one person who abuses the privilege of having the password

Another merge of the two ideas would be that everyone makes there own videos, but someone is in charge of the whole endeavor, keeping it organized; perhaps there could be a list of topics to cover and someone makes a video on each of these topics.
