The sets for the first scene are built, and I just started animating the first shot. I can't figure out how to post pictures on here, could someone help me with this please? There are some pictures of the sets and characters that I would like to share.

Thanks! I appreciate the help!

I assume that the "this" refers to being different to other Beowulf films.
But what do you mean by "different"? The style of the film? The storyline? Or something else?
I'm not 100% sure on what you mean. As of now, research on Beowulf. Research on how setting should be, the weapons they had during the sixth century, their fighting style and other things.
Not everyone expects an accurate interpretation, but a good understanding helps.

Here are some of the characters.

Hrothgar's soldiers (I know the costumes aren't historically correct, but these were the only LEGO knights I could get my hands on.

Thanks for the feedback, I greatly appreciate your suggestions and critique. Your ideas have been taken into consideration, and I am seriously thinking about using them (the idea of a elaborate sword fight does appeal to me more than a stylized wrestling match). I'll be posting some more pictures soon!

Thank you Raptor! I'm glad you're looking forward to it! By the way, good job on Mixels, I know how hard it is to animate those wacky little guys ( I've tried and failed) but you seem quite good at it. Keep up the good work!

I just started animating some random fighting tests and stuff before I get back to filming Beowulf, (I wasn't completely satisfied with the first scene, so I'm re shooting). Since I'm restarting anyway, I've been seriously considering using 1999mrlegoman's idea to make the film about the fight between Beowulf and Grendel's mother, rather than Grendel himself. What does everyone think of this idea?

I apologize for being so inconsistent with my updates, but Beowulf is most certainly still in production. The first scene is coming along surely but slowly, and I'm quite satisfied with my end results.
Some of my best animation to date has been incorporated into this film, as well as an excess of cartoony arm swings (I've become rather obsessed with those) and random cameos.

A large chunk of the fight scene is complete, as well as some supporting scenes. I would post bts pictures and posters, but whenever I try to log on to Imgur, it just loads forever and never allows me to post anything. Has anyone else had this problem?
