Clone ep. 3-Chewbacca's christmas

I don't get it.
Quality isn't very good and the story was crappy, but I think this was a good test.
Test?

Well, for one, it could have been longer.
cooldynamyte, I am sorry, but this wasn't a very good film. The story wasn't good, the animation was pretty poor, the camera bumped and lights flickered, and the voice acting was stuffy and quiet. I know this may seem harsh, but this film wasn't put together very well. You should work on some easing with the animation (This video should help you with easing in the animation), as well as stabilizing your camera. You should also get a new microphone (You should go to the audio sub-forum for some information on microphones). I would also advise that you do some tests to help improve your skills in animation.
Awesome film! Great, deep story with stunning visuals and great acting by a great ensemble cast.
A must see brickfilm of the year!
5/5
The plot was not really explained in the film enough. The animation was alright, but it wasn't as good. The lighting was actually quite awful, and there were some camera bumps. The sound wasn't bad, but there was that annoying fizz in the background, that can be easily fixed in Audacity. It was also quite unfocused. I'm sorry, but this wasn't such a good film. I have not really seen your previous work, so I cannot exactly say if you have improved. For now, I suggest making a lot of test videos. Sorry.
1.4/5
I really did not get this one little bit. :L as JP said, you should definitely practice your animation more. And I thought after the end of each of your videos, you would put the outro? another thing....everything in the video was copyrighted. I'm surprised YouTube didn't wright you up on all sorts of stuff.
Anyways, I think in the future, try and think your ideas through before you release a video.
OVERALL: 2/10
The 3d epic installment in the Clone saga.
I oppose to this, it was really "epic" seeing some clones walk into "Chewbacca's house".
Plus, it was made with 3D materials though it is presented in 3D.

This.

He said it was for Lego Santa Yoda so he had to use Star Wars Lego and Youtube normal takes down videos for copyrighted sound or re-uploaded media (i.e. an episode of a tv show, a music video, etc.).
Test?

Just because it was made for a contest doesn't mean it's automatically great.
@LASF cooldynamite mis-spelled 3rd and wrote 3d.
Anyway, I second most of these comments. You will want to make a lot of tests to become a better brickfilmer.

Either that or he was falsely claiming/badly joking that his film is 3D.

The animation was decent, but the camera quality kind of ruined it. You didn't focus on any of the characters at all, and the camera quality itself is just terrible. There is no apparent story, so I can't really say anything about that. We have no idea why these stormtroopers are coming into Chewbacca's home. Chewbacca is a member of the Rebel Alliance, so I doubt stormtroopers would be coming into his house to celebrate Christmas (they'd most likely be coming into his house to arrest him.).
Another thing that drives me crazy about your films (you've only made these "clone" videos) is that you're using Fancypants' characters. You could have at least put a little effort into creating new characters with new names.
And another thing- They don't celebrate Christmas in the Star Wars universe. They celebrate "Life Day".

I think he's saying that it wasn't a test, but a Santa Yoda contest entry. He wasn't saying it was great or not in that statement.
Anyway, you really need to work on making your films longer. Why do you make them so short, anyway?

Please don't joke around like that, that is quite rude; either give him criticism or don't comment.
Okay the film made no sense whatsoever, your lighting was pretty bad, and you had some light flicker problems. Are you filming in a spot where light can come in? If so, you either need to put sturdy blinds up, and wear dark clothing, or you can film at night, or you can just flat out change your filming location and film in an area where light cannot come in, you have quite a few options. The only part of the film that was decent was the animation, but you still have a lot of work to do, as the walking animation was decent at best. I also was not too fond of your voice acting, it sounded like you were reading off of a script, it sounded like you didn't know your part, it sounded like you had no idea what the guy was supposed to sound like, and worst of all there was no enthusiasm whatsoever put into your voice acting. I also couldn't figure out who was talking, when filming you should definitely focus on the certain character who is talking, so that the viewer has a better idea of what is going on. You should really make longer stories than short 10-15 second long films. When planning a film such as this you should definitely write a more complex script, and you shouldn't just try to make every film in one day, you should try making longer films that have better stories, are more understandable, have better voice acting, and better sets. With all of this being said you should definitely practice all aspects of filming. It will take a lot of work, and quite possibly a long time, but in the long run it is definitely worth it. Good luck with your future films!
I figured that everyone else was criticising him, so I'd add some contrast.
