Re: Should there be more Romance in today's Brickfilms?

I met this actress at a coffee shop I go to regularly and have been talking to her about my film as well as a film that she was in which is currently in limbo, and when I finally finished my movie she told me if I ever needed a voice actor to let her know, and I said I was currently looking for a female lead for a new script and she literally ran to get something to write her contact info on.

It really is just about talking to people, even someone who is awkward like me can find out a bit about people I run into regularly. I'm going to be recording that actress for my next film in a few weeks, it's not a romance but it doesn't change the fact that people who are interested in acting are likely going to at least be willing to read your script to see if the project sounds interesting to them. Brickfilming is a really cool hobby, don't be afraid to tell people you are into it, if they like animation they might want to see more of what you do.

Really? 'Cause I thought that you had made an animation challenge awhile back, that had something to do with love. But now, I can't seem to find it on any of your YouTube channels.

Have you seen a big-chinned boy?

You must be referring this this short: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D70DJzEfTqE (I must say, it is quite funny for it's extreme simplicity.)

The film exists if you know where to find it, but it isn't publicly avalable on YouTube anymore because I prefer to keep it as a consistent list of more proper videos I've created, and I never got on to uploading it to my alternate channel for things like this.

Here it is: http://youtu.be/D70DJzEfTqE

Though its theme is based upon infatuation, it's really much more of a simple one-joke film and doesn't actually tell a proper love story, nor do we ever get to see how that conversation went, nor what the woman thinks about the man.
I'm still rather fond of the heart pop/love at first sight animation, and I would like to use that again in something larger.
I still like the film, but considering it as a proper romance would be like me considering Charlie Grows Hair Dramatically the only proper drama I've created.

EDIT: Ah someone already got to the LEGO Love link before me.

Awesome! I'll see this when I'm on a server that's not slower than a Hayes 14.4 KBS modem.

Re: Should there be more Romance in today's Brickfilms?

I'm going to throw this out there and see what you guys think. When I submitted my THAC entry to the BIM directory I had a hard time coming up with a good category to put it in. I finally ended up with selecting "drama" because that's the closest one that described my film. So after saying all that I think there should be a romance category to select for your brickfilm. Yes I know brickfilms with love stories are few and far between but I still think that should be an option for submitting a brickfilm to the site. What do you guys think?
