Down the Chimney

YouTube

Have a Merry Christmas, everyone!

This was made for the Brickfilm Christmas Collaboration in 2019. The playlist of each video made for this collaboration is here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list...

The prompt I received came from Jay Silver, and it was "Down the Chimney."

Re: Down the Chimney

A beautiful film!

The animation is gloriously exaggerated, the set-design is spot-on, and the interpretation of the theme couldn't have been better! The first minute really tells you all you need to know about the film: It's going to be hilarious, strange, and incredibly well-executed throughout.

As I've said elsewhere, the "robot voice" really does seem to be the unofficial mod-element of the collaboration. It's used in many of the entries, but nowhere else quite as effectively and extensively here. It works perfectly here.

The various encounters and cameos along the way remind me of the classic Batman wall-climbing sequences, as you'll never know who is next and/or what they'll say. Character after character brought fresh humor and fun.

Fantastic!

Thanks! I'm really glad you enjoyed it!

I was actually thinking about having Batman climbing in the chimney at some point, but I don't think I would've been able to do that. I thought it'd be funny if Santa met him, kinda like how Batman meets people in the show.

Re: Down the Chimney

We need that deleted scene right now!
That would have been awesome.
Is the set still built? You could totally still film that.

It's not. I took it all apart already. I probably would've done it for the main video, but I don't think I have enough bricks to pull it off. I barely had enough bricks just for the Blockheads part of the video.

Lol, yeah. I was considering putting his part near the end of the chimney, but I decided to put Luke Skywalker there instead because I thought it'd be funnier.
