"The Deadly Mission" (A brickfilm about corpses, fighting, and sqeaky voices)
A agent has to arrest a criminal In New York city during the 1940s, but things soon spiral out of control.I threw this video together in about a months time, so its no exactly perfect, but feel free to leave comments and criticism!
THIS IS PURE GOLD. 
I love it, the comedy is spot-on, the use of black and white beckons back to the silent era comedies, and the hilariously outrageous scenarios play out beautifully.
There is a lot of prop bumping and light flicker, but it really doesn't distract that much from the overall feel.
Gotta say, this was great, and my favorite shot was the one starting at 2:06. The mini-scale buildings are well made, the dark lighting looked nice, and the ending of that shot was one of the best bits.
You've got the scripting/planning process down well, now you just need to finish polishing the production phase.
Hahaha, that was great! 
The animation was good, and I think you had a very funny storyline. I particularly liked the fight scene which was was very well done!
Your best film yet!!! I laughed at a few scenes!
Good job! Some of the scenes were amazingly hilarious! As mentioned before, there were a few set bumps, most notably in the shot where the sectretary was using the typewriter. Part from that, not much to complain about! For a month worth of work this is outstanding! 
There's some great laughs in there! The animation was really smooth, but a little too smooth. A little too fast, also. But, this is a great film!
This is the absolute best thing ever. Don't let nobody ever tell you otherwise gurl.
Seriously though this was just a barrel of fun, not had this much fun watching a brickfilm in a while.
Dude! you've improved a TON!
the animation and lighting is like such a giant step up from your previous stuff, not to mention it was a really funny deal! good work! wow! The only thing i think could improve it a little more is if you had different voice actors for each part, rather than doing every single part yourself, i dunno! good work!!
Really impressed!!
Thanks for the feed back!
@Pritchard Studios:
Thanks! As far as the set bumps, I plan on trying harder to secure everything down. Its taken me four years the learn the ropes of the trade, but I think I almost got the most important stuff down. Now I just got to take care of the little things like light flicker and set bumping...of course even then I won't exactly be "professional".
@SurfSmurf778:
I think the main reason for all the bumping in that part was that I got lazy and just looped the clip 
. I thought it looked so terrible, I promised myself never to loop a clip again.
@Mickey:
Thank you! But could you expand a little bit on "too fast"?
@Just Kidden:
I understand what you mean with the voice acting, I mainly do it myself to save time (cheap excuse). I had you voice act for me with the "Egypt" video because my mic was broken, and Kilian voiced in this one because he doing his lines for "Canine Park". With my bigger projects to come, I have every intention of getting other voice actors though.
@Everyone:
Ich danke Ihnen allen für die Komplimente und Kritik! Ich schätze wirklich Antworten!
I agree with jstudios. I haven't been this entertained by a brick film in awhile. This is how brick films should be made all the time. How long did this take you PushOver?

This video took a month to make completely...but I worked as fast as possible, as much as possible. I uploaded this the night I finished it.
Great job, you did such a good job with the humor. I loved the black and white, it really gave it a cool feel. Your animation quality was not to bad, and the light flicker (what there was) fit in with the feel of the movie.
Overall, this was the most entertaining movie I have seen in some time, great job. 
Liked it. Story is good. Some of the cinematography could use some work. Thought The set in the part ware he slides down the are vent could have ben tiled.
can you explain or show how did you exactly make the head of typewriter move that way when she is typing? Is that brick simply loose, sitting on 2X1 flat, no studs tile and not connected to the rest of the typewriter, and you just move it, or was it somehow connected to the rest of the typewriter?
Thanks

It was not connected. I put it on a flat "Grill" plate.
Here is a video of where I got the type writer design from: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ln9MKLxl6U
I should probably credit him somewhere.
