The Chamber

Here's my entry for Contrast. I made it in about a month, and, for the first time ever, used a microphone and animated dialogue. Sorry for the little bit of light flicker. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy. Feedback would be appreciated.

2nd place Darkness and Light entry: The Tree
Behind the Scenes

Re: The Chamber

Well, I saw this the other day, so if I mis-remember something, sorry.

It's an interesting concept, and the scientist posing as the man's brain was a neat idea that sadly didn't really come into play later on. The two week time jump and the policemen's refusing to use their guns were a touch annoying, but enough on that. It sadly wasn't clear what it was contrasting, perhaps good/evil, but even that wasn't a huge part of it.
So, on to the positives.

The animation was good, and the masking was great. The lighting in the chamber was spot-on, and the production aspects were well polished. The ending was different, (Baddie winning hands-down) but felt just a touch cut-off.
Mind-control is a well-used weapon, but the execution made it feel less cliche and more original.

It's a good entry, and has a nice chance of winning, good luck.

Yeah, you have to really think about it to understand that aspect. I was basically contrasting freedom and imprisonment...I guess I should have made that part more obvious. Also, I was meaning it to seem cut-off, as I felt that it went with the story, of the scientist beginning his take over of the world.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback.

Re: The Chamber

For such amazing and beautiful stop-motion animation, I feel that if you had taken more time on the script, this film easily would have surpassed nearly all brickfilms I've seen so far. mini/smile

So, that's my advice; next time, make a more dramatic story, because the audio quality and animation are clearly something not seen too often. (And by that, I mean good, no, GREAT!)

Re: The Chamber

@Trollbridge - I suppose it could've had a better script...However, keep in mind I made the entire thing, including script, in about a month. Also, glad you liked it. mini/smile

Re: The Chamber

Not saying that's a bad thing. mini/smile Even though the story wasn't as "compelling or different" as some of the other entries are, I still love this film.

Outside of this contest, I'm sure I'll keep going back to watch it over and over, seeing as it's animation is spectacular! The quality is that of a film that'd take at least a year, and you did it in just a month! Even if you don't win/place, that's an accomplishment in itself!

Re: The Chamber

The animation, lighting,effects, and camera angles were great.
