Action Essentials + 3/4 layers of dust and a muzzle flash animation = perfect

Re: Things you don't want to see in a brickfilm.

90. An extremely lame "ololol B safe on a road lulz?"-themed PSA-style brickfilm. I think everyone knows about road safety, so there's no reason to make a pointless and predictable brickfilm about a minifig randomly crossing a road and being struck by a careless motorist. I don't care if you made it for school, there's no reason to make a brickfilm like that.

what about this one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrw-TDiodIo

93. WAY over used theme music

94. Bad Keying and where the set bumps but back ground stays the same.....

Re: Things you don't want to see in a brickfilm.

95. Videos that don't look fun. (A video doesn't have to be up-beat and have happy tones to be "happy." But, you can tell when a project was more of a chore than a fun piece of artistic expression. If that means using a copyrighted theme, that's fine with me. As long as it was fun for the creator, it'll be fun for at least one of the viewers...)

102. racists (especially islamophobes! most of the muslim representation in brickfilms is as terrorists and that sucks. But maybe that is iron man/indiana jones/star wars/etc.'s fault.)

Agreed.

Kizar, I would refrain from posting ones that have already said. The "gore issue" has already been discussed in the earlier pages of this thread.

Hmm, I don't think I've ever seen an 'islamophobe' brickfilm, let alone a racist one. Not that I want to...

Re: Things you don't want to see in a brickfilm.

its really stupid, racism. I mean, I happen to have mostly Islander friends, and, they are awesome! just cause someones culture isnt the same as yours, what makes yours better, and I am soooo sick of muslim hate. like the Extremist Christians did the same in the crusades(which is a vialation of the bible anyway) and the 'muslims' that go around blowing them selves up, arnt real muslims, just suits western propaganda to call them that. as they are just extremists.

104. lack of motion tracking. if you put stuff in your shot, make it look like its IN the shot/world.

Re: Things you don't want to see in a brickfilm.

Topit, I agree totally on the racism/ Islamophobia issue.  It's a tiny group of radicalized Muslim fundamentalists following a twisted interpetation of the Koran who are the terrorists, and in no way represents the vast majority of decent people making up the Islamic population.  In a future episode script I'm currently writing I address the issue of racial discrimination.

Re: Things you don't want to see in a brickfilm.

On the subject of religious misconceptions, for some reason, there are a select few of ignorant folks out there who see the FLDS Church, the LDS Church, and the Community of Christ as one. Being a member of the LDS Church (or a "Mormon", as the public knows us as), and reading up a lot on Warren Jeffs, the Sects, and the FLDS' organising communities such as Colorado City, AZ, where they can practice their illegal kiddie polygamy in peace, I can see almost no resemblance to their "church" and mine. And the Community of Christ was a sort of a sister denomination that separated from the Mormon pioneers in Missouri. The Community of Christ is no longer affiliated with the LDS Church.

Despite nonstop hate and the never-ending "ewww those mormons and their thirty wives" remarks, the LDS Church is full of great people who do great things. Mormon Tabernacle Choir anyone? There is no need for anyone to hate us because they think we're the Fundamentalist Latter-Day Saints who abduct children and take them to their FLDS communities and force them to marry middle-aged men. We're not, but people are still going to dislike Mormons. Same with the Islamophobes; they're still going to hate Muslims, even though it was only a select few that committed acts of terrorism, and not the entire Nation of Islam. I can't say I ever saw any brickfilms that featured Muslim hate, though. But, I too, dislike the hate shown for them.

That said, let's linger no longer on the subject of religion, lest we desire for this thread to be locked by an administrator.

Re: Things you don't want to see in a brickfilm.

I want to see everything in a brickfilm. EVERYTHING.

Re: Things you don't want to see in a brickfilm.

Thank you Olson, I was just contemplating cutting out this clip of me taking my shirt off in my next film, but my confidence has been restored.

Re: Things you don't want to see in a brickfilm.

Bad Star Wars videos!!! To many times Star Wars has been done wrong. There are only five brickfilms that I can think of that were done right. The Force Unleashed, The Old Republic, The Bane Of the Sith and The battle of Hoth.
