Love in Black and White
Romance needs no words - especially if you're a Mime.
This thing took me forever to make. I'm glad I finally finished it. There are some imperfections but I'm happy to say
I think it is a fairly solid short film.

Wonderful job, loved it. Your animation was great, nice set, great story, just great everything. His carving into air was really well done, have to confess though that the lady mime was kinda creepy looking.
Overall, sweet movie.
Great work, this was a really well-made film. I liked the simplistic feel to it, and that was refreshing. The sets and animation were really good also. My only complaint was the framing of some of the shots seemed too wide and the characters seemed too low in those shots. But other than that, it was a great brickfilm, and I can't wait to see more from you.
That was absolutely beautiful.
The set was detailed and gave off a great 3D sorta feel. It looked a lot like a park! I loved the arches at the beginning and the end. I thought the shot with the fountain in the beginning was gorgeous, to say the least. The trees were just great.
The story was clever, the music was fitting, the animation was great, the ending was perfect, and this is one of my favorites now.
PS: I agree with GEF about the mime lady though...
Well made, the only thing off is the framing, the camera was definitely to high and wide on some of the shots, everything else, story, animation, etc. was well done. I liked it.
This turned out so well! I love the artsy feel of it. You can really tell that you put a lot of time, effort, and heart into it!
Anyone can do a video in black and white and
all it is, is just a black and white video.
But you captured the effect using this medium.
Brilliant is the only word that comes to mind.
But I am sure there is a stronger word out there.
Great job Walter. This video is now in my top ten
favorite brickfilms.
It is a pleasure to watch. good job
Nice work! Very enjoyable. I really liked the shot of the fountain, and the black-and-white colouration enhanced the film greatly and gave it a silent-film-era comedy feel (and fits Mimes very well in general). The Mime's movements were nicely done, though some of the sound effects (especially the sound when the Mime zips off and returns to the bench) did get a bit repetitive. Overall, though, this is a great film, and I can't wait to see more from you.
Another I can't wait to see
Haha a lot of people seem to be creeped out by the female mime. I guess that's understandable in a sense.
Anyway I'm glad you all enjoyed it. I was a little worried about some people getting confused with the story, but most everybody seemed to know what was going on! I'm really happy for that.
Thanks for the kind comments.
I think it's your best work yet, Walter! I liked how the dialogue was scarce, because the film didn't seem to need it. It did well on its own! Very well done!
I'm unable to see it, and most of the new brickfilms I've been wanting to watch because of the new youtube problem I've been having. I can't hear any audio until I d/l with realplayer to my flash drive & watch at home. For some reason the files I'm d/ling aren't playble by any software. It's only with Youtube d/ls, not videos downloaded from other sites. I get these from a public computer so I can't change the settings or try different software.
This is a brilliant film. I love the B&W, I love the sets, I love the animation and the story is simple and effective. Love it!! 5/5 and thank you for your hard work, Walter.
P.S. What cam do you use?
Thanks again guys. Hopefully you can work out your Youtube problem, HoldingOurOwn.
And the camera I use is a Logitech C920. (I think that's what it's called)
