Hopefully I'll find the time for another Brickfilm early 2010. I doubt I'll be able to put as much effort in as Cyclic which took 3 months.
Interesting theme this one. I have been trying to make my films more accessable and then this comes along.
If my idea really works, then it NEEDS to be an avant-garde
Smeagol can you give example of a story that would fit the theme
I'm Irish too! Woot!

Guys, I don't think the point of this contest is for Smeagol to give away all his ideas so you can make them. Nor is that the idea of any other contest.
The aspect ratio is the same through the whole film, and it's 4:3, 16:9, or 2.35:1. The film's frame is a horizontally oriented rectangle.
The frame rate is the same through the whole movie, most likely 15 fps or 24 fps.
The video is either in black and white, or full RGB color.
There is a visual video component to the film at almost all times.
The film has a story, with a beginning, middle, and end. Usually presented in that order.
The environment of the brickfilm is mostly built of LEGO and posterboard.
The film only shows us one camera angle at a time.
There is only one possible way to watch the film -- it consists of a single video file that is viewed from start to finish.
The film is almost entirely LEGO animation, well above the required 50%.
The film has recognizable "characters," who speak in normal human language and are depicted as minifigures.
Here Smeagol listed a good deal of brickfilm conventions that you are free to look at and break at your will. And remember, you don't just have to create a zany story or use crazy camera angles (which, if it was the only thing you did, would probably lose you points from the judges). Try to just be creative, and be avant-garde, the meaning of which has been explained time on time again in this thread.
