I think you are, actually! 
Anyway, sounds great.
*Hurriedly scramble to make and animate an escalator, so I can have that title* 
Anyways, sounds cool, that you're making progress, and are moving on to another scene. Can't wait.
(And I actually haven't ever seen an escalator animation...nor have I seen many stair animations).

There's a very good reason for that...
*frantically looks around some Failed Stair Animation Collage*
Let's let Isaac get the title for first LEGO escalator animation, but walking on (up or down) an escalator would be great for the Animation Challenges!
I'm actually pretty excited for this. Just remember to put some of those theatre adverts that they have on tube escalators

Seconded. The next winner of the Animation Challenge should choose something like that.
Wow, I was away again; it appears my mum and dad have been visiting a hell of a lot of relatives lately, lol! 
Well, anyways, I'm back now and I have started filming part of scene 6 (which is also in the tube station). I will in the meantime be plotting how to make the escalators, because at the minute; I haven't a clue!
So yeah... I will keep ya updated on that.
Here's an image from today's take: 
Looks great! I really like the angle of the shot. Can't wait!
I took over 100 frames today! Not that many really, but still; I had to move a good 20 minifigs
individually in each shot So I'm pleased.
20?! 
That's impressive! I did that for 120 pictures and it took me like 6 hours to finish one shot. Such a pain. Also, nice frame you have there. I, too, like the angle of the shot. However, the guy has a scratch, or something on his shirt.
Thanks 
I just moved the minifigs very slightly in each shot and it turned out pretty well.
Here's frame showing most of the minifigues in shot:
Not the best of images but it shows you 18 of the 20 minifigures on the set.
Pretty colourfull people and I'm still laughing for the man who had Johnny Thunder's head, he's so funny-looking. But good work, continue.
Why does one guy have a blank face? 
And you have gorilla-body-man in the frame
Also, the frame has a little tilt, which looks like it's not on purpose, an thus, detracts from the frame.

I was wondering these minifigs myself... But anyway, it's looking good; can't wait for the film!

Slenderman probably spilled lemonade all over his face.
@legoguy501
Yay! You noticed gorilla-body-man, I was hoping someone would. Btw, yeah the frame is tilted which was not intended. I find it very hard to get the shot exactly strait when you are using a webcam and no tripod, plus I use Blue Tac to keep my cam from moving; I have tried in the past to build LEGO tripods and other such things but somehow...the Blue Tac always wins.
@Mickey
Yeah, I was also wondering whether anyone would notice him. I don't really know why he is faceless, but I was in a pretty random mood when I made all these minifigs!
*update
I have paused animating BULB for a week or so to make a Christmas Brickfilm, though, I may not resume animating BULB to next January because after Christmas is THAC and as soon as I've finished that I'll be swept off to London to see relatives!
You really are busy man.
Yup.
I have just finished building a Travelator! If you haven't heard of them they are like escalators but don't er... escalate
Here's a picture of one:
And here's a picture of mine!
Q: Why have you plonked the Travelator on to the tube station?
A: The main character of this film has a dream in which the tube station and Travelator sorta mix together.
