The story was good, and kept me interested the whole time, but the execution could use some work. The biggest distraction was the set/camera bumps, you should really do what you can to get rid of those, and the animation definitely needs more frames to smooth it out. I also couldn't hear what the old man was saying when he was talking over the kids discovery, although that could be my computer (my sound card is a bit messed up). On the plus side the voice acting was really good, the best part of the film as far as execution goes.

Ozymandias is one of my favourite poems of all time, so I was very pleased to see a film inspired.   And I liked it.

The light flicker was somewhat noticeable, and also the CGI shots looked a bit off--especially the ones towards the end.  However, I really like the atmosphere created by the music choice and the voice-over, and how you used that HP tower roof brick.

I love this poem, probably my favourite poem of all! I studied it for my GCSE's a few years ago and hearing how you used in in your video sent chills down my spine Awesome! I subbed on youtube I like your videos man!

It was nicely animated, but the light flickering just took away from it. Make sure your camera is set to manual everything.

Most of the time that is caused by the Auto White balance in your camera.

Hate to bump a long-dead thread, but Ozymandias just won Best Short Film at my college's Film and Media awards! I'm super-happy as this is basically the most prestigious award of the lot. It was nominated for Production, but won overall! Honestly, brickfilming has been the least rewarding hobby I could have picked and I've had so much hate from people for it over the last seven years, but finally I've been recognised! I don't have to sit in anyone's elses shadow for tonight. Tonight I get to say that I won a college "Oscar" (yeah yeah, it's cheesey) and was second to nobody. This means a huge deal to me, and I'm so happy that I managed to pull the best award with a brickfilm. It's like saying 'stuff you' to all the people who've bullied me over the years, and it feels great. Tonight, I'm not a weirdo for being a brickfilmer, and you have no idea how refreshing that is.

Thanks to all of you guys, for supporting me on this forum, for watching my films and commenting, or even just chatting in Cafe Corner or General Film threads. Even when I had no friends at school, I knew I could come here, and while I spent a lot of time inactive for various reasons, it was great to know that there was one place where I didn't have to hide what I do.

Here's the trophy, in all its plastic glory! Sorry it's a bit blurry, but I was in a rush to take the photo.

Congratulations for winning this award! Even if it's in plastic, the trophy is really cool.
Hard work always pays!
And, if you still have lightflicking problems, you can try VirtualDub with MSUDeflicker (it's free!)

A little, yeah. It's on paper too but still awesome nonetheless
