Is this your first ever try at brickfilming or is that just your first youtube video?

I have been animating for a couple of years, so MrMingle was right. I have not done it in about six months though in lack of computer, and just started filming again about two weeks ago. mini/wink

That is awesome that I won with my first ever posted movie, and congrats to all the other entries. I have been gone all day and that is why I have not posted the next challenge, I am thinking of Boxing, but I will take suggestions. I will decide anyway by tomorrow afternoon.

Edit: Decided to change the next theme posting time to tomorrow.

Re: The Animation Challenge

A Helicopter flight sequence is my suggestion. That would be cool!

Re: The Animation Challenge

I still like boxing because I already have all the props and pieces which I don't have for the helicopter sequence.

@GEF
I also won my one of these contests on my first try it was the dance number contest.  I know how good it feels so I am very happy for you.

Ahhh yeah!!!

Re: The Animation Challenge

I watched your dance number movie, and it was excellently done, can see where you won with it.

Since someone else also wants to do boxing, boxing it is.

Animation Challenge: Boxing
Due date: End of June 2

Good luck everyone and have fun. mini/wink

Re: The Animation Challenge

Is it boxing as in fighting, or boxing as in wrapping a gift?
Or is it either one? mini/eh

Re: The Animation Challenge

Boxing as in fighting is what I intended it, but if you can think of a creative way to apply the other type, go ahead. Thanks for asking. mini/wink

Re: The Animation Challenge

I am assuming that you meant June 2?

Ahhh yeah!!!

Re: The Animation Challenge

Yes, I meant June 2...I didn't mean to right may, I will fix it. Thanks for alerting me to it. mini/wink

Re: The Animation Challenge

Ha Ha, That's fine I thought that was what you meant.

Ahhh yeah!!!

Re: The Animation Challenge

Oh, yikes. Didn't realize the deadline was so soon.
I'll have to step up production, and as a result, I see lots of masking in my near future. mini/shifty
Don't extend the deadline though, at least not yet. It helps with the motivation.

Re: The Animation Challenge

My entry is reaching completion.  I just have some things like a grunt pass and a few lines to record.

Ahhh yeah!!!

Re: The Animation Challenge

Sweet, looking forward to both of your entries. mini/wink

Re: The Animation Challenge

GUYS I MISS YOU ALL SO MUCH! I haven't been brickfilming lately. Anyway Today I plan on FINALLY uploading and finishing an on and off production from late last year.
I really need to stop procrastinating...
Then I'll see if I can make an entry!

Re: The Animation Challenge

I'll enter hopefully. Looking forward to it. Is kick-boxing allowed?

Re: The Animation Challenge

I have a quick question for GEF.  Do I need to have mine sent in by the end of June 2 or by the morning of June 2?

Ahhh yeah!!!

Re: The Animation Challenge

Normally people judge things in the evening to give any last-minute guys time to enter.
And I can't see this being any different.

Mine is coming together, but because of church tomorrow and working all day today, it won't be a completed short before the deadline. I hope to finish animation this evening, and work on sound and effects for a finished release on the 3rd or 4th. I will get a WIP version up later tonight for judging though.


I'm not sure about Kick-boxing, and would suggest leaning to the side of safety and going with a more traditional "Boxing" concept. Still, it's your call.

Re: The Animation Challenge

Thanks I will upload tomorrow then.

Ahhh yeah!!!

Re: The Animation Challenge

WIP video, as promised.

Re: The Animation Challenge

That was pretty damn good...but I wish you'd used blue tack more under the feet, this means you wouldn't be making them stand on the pegs so much and the movement would have been less stiff.
