Topic: Brick Fiction - An original Brick Film - Production thread
______________________________________________Brick Fiction] ________________________________________
Brick Fiction is a brick film based on an original story that follows several characters that will come together to tell a tale. Each character has their own story and personality. Together you will witness fellow members making bonds and amends, people paying debts, fights over warring issues and politics and more.
This has been a story on my mind for a very very long time. I hold this very dearly and I am very excited to finally make it a reality. The production of filming has begun.
The film will be broken up in several chapters that will consist of smaller stories between each chapter, the stories will all collaborate in some way to every other story.
While there is a main character the film focuses on, the film opens up the perspective of more than one character. The film is made to really depict character personalities and personnel. It will one of those films that will have as much action as it will dialog and it will not lack either. While my focus has always been dialog, I am taking a very different approach with this film and will be action heavy, at least thats how I would like to envision it.
Set designs and animation, in my opinion I have noticed a much bigger improvement and feel this will be my best project up to date.
The four characters the movie opens up to are the characters you will slowly begin the journey with. Now, an interesting point I'd like to mention upfront is you may notice, a lot of names with ''Mr'' in front of them this is how the story will be set. The characters will be given name that is chosen from their character and personality. For example one of the main characters is called ''Mr Smiley'' he was given that name because he is always smiling, now that doesn't necessarily mean his a good guy, but it simply means he got his name from his smile.

The characters so far:]
-------------------------
Joe Martins:
Joe Martins is the boss of the Rogues unite a clan specific for thieves and assorters. Joe is an easy kind of guy when you get to know him, but his on point and very informed. He is well connected, and even has intel from someone on the inside of the police force. Joes main job is to ensure clan jobs are given and jobs are monitored and makes sure they get done, so everyone gets a slice of the pie when the job is complete. He overseas all projects first hand and calls the shots. While he works with advisors and close members, Joe calls the final shot.
Mr Fretz:
Mr Fretz is an associate of Joe Martins, He was given this name when he was appointed Captain. Now he runs a small group of thieves, that he appoints jobs by Joes hand. Mr Fretz, is a loyal member of the clan but has trust issues, his unsettled very easily and doesn't like surprises. Generally his a rational type of person. Then again it'll depend on his mood on the day you see him.
Mr Bold:
Mr Bold is a very colorful character in this film and as a character. He has a lot of emotions and is highly explosive when provoked. He runs warehouse jobs, deliveries, even street to street calls. He also works as a body guard and as a security supervisor. He is highly respected for his A class, and brute personality. Joe Martins was smart to quickly capture this one before anyone else did. Mr Bold is loyal to the bold spot. (No pun intended).
Mr Smiley:
[s]Mr Smiley, one of the main characters you will be following in this film. Mr Smiley is a very interesting and creative kind of character. He was recently released from prison, and personally use to work for Joe many years ago. Coming back he is looking to get back into the business he left before he went to prison. Mr Smiley is highly unpredictable and has a tendency to get off track as he does his job so well. His been offered higher wages by other clans, and companies and has refused. Mr Smiley is a very on point kind of person, and while he loves to smile a lot you don't want to cross him when his angry. Its not a pretty site.

Set design]: A house interior was actually needed for one of the scenes and for me doing this kind of thing was a first, I am not much when it comes to set design, but I wanted to put in effort for this and design it the way I saw it in my script.
