My goal is to start a proper brickfilm that has a decent story, although I have attempted it many times in the past, those old brickfilms weren't even watchable.
I want to get better at fight scenes. Also, I want to experiment with 24 fps.
I'd like to finish a 'larger' type story (heh, for me larger is like 5 minutes), which, happens to be my Knights' Kingdom film.
So 1) Complete the Knights' Kingdom film I'm working on
2) Complete a second brick film that has to do with the same place as in Perpetual Twilight
3) Enter THAC and not be sick and give up like this year.
4) ANIMATE MORE
5) ANIMATE MORE BECAUSE I PROBABLY NEED TO SAY THAT TWICE
- Finish The Darkest Knight
- Join Brawl
- Try to get a video out at least every two months.
- Do more LOL shorts
- Improve animation
- Do Longer Animations
- Work with more people/Do Collabs
I would like to:
1.) Start making brickfilms in an orderly/professional fashion (and stick to the script)
2.) Improve my writing and animating
3.) Embark on a long project (more than 15 minutes of brickfilm)
1) Release my unTHAC film by mid January
2) Release Alex and Derrick: Five Years Later by early February
3) Maintain a schedule of release an average of one film every two months, or six films a year. This, of course, will vary based upon length of film. I want to make a balance of quick comedic films and longer, more in-depth films.
4) Continue to improve my animation, cinematography, scripting and editing skills.
Here's my resolutions:
1. Finish a long(12-20 mins) film that has just entered the works.
2. Hopefully sqeeze out a music video for my uncle's band that hasn't been really worked on since last summer.(laziness I know)
3. Stop wasting notebook paper with huge, generally horrible scripts that I never end up making. This has happened so many times in the last year, and it became very obnoxious.
4. Enter a few animation challenges, which are really fun.
5. Enter BRAWL and actually be able to say I've participated, and enter THAC for my 3rd time.
6. Be more prestigious in my hobby, which for me means not to release something below decency like every few weeks and work hard on longer productions. This would probably also mean taking more time for schoolwork and study rather than brickfilm.
7. Get an original soundtrack for a film for the first time.
So yep! There they are! The only question now is whether I'll fulfill them or not!
1. Finish Captain America The Winter Soldier trailer before April (fingers crossed)
2. Enter BRAWL and THAC for the first time
3. Animate at least one video at 24 fps.
4. Stop wasting so much time on the internet when I could be animating.
Well, those may not sound like much but that's about as exciting as I get. 
1. Figure out a new working setup for brickfilming
2. Enter THAC 12, provided it's late this year
3. Acquire a ladywoman
4. Shut up about 3. in the BiM chat
(If you fail to see how 3. is Brickfilming related, visit the BiM #brickfilms chat any time)
Number one is make a brickfilm.
Focus on writing, lighting and cinematography.
Perfect my Joker voice.
1. Release/realise the slew of potential brickfilm ideas I've been contemplating
2. Possibly enter some competition or the like.
3. get a preferably cute bunny rabbit
1. Make more films.
2. See #1.
I have short-term and long term goals. Here they are in one list.
1. Finish filming the project code-named "Light Show." (In the next week)
2. Find a nice release date for STEAMPUNK and finally get the thing publicly released. (In the next month.)
3. Come up with a good idea for a summer film...And film it. (Summer time...)
4. Enter THAC 12, along with BRAWL 2014. (Traditional contest times...I hope.)
5. Find a way to keep my Facebook page and Youtube channel active-ish while away at college. (Next few months.)
6. Get more than 25 likes on my Facebook page. (Before 2015? 
)
Some more goals for me:
-Form more friendships here
-Get 50 followers on twitter
-Win an animation challenge, or a contest, or honourable mention.
- become better overall
My resolution is to brake the brickfilmers dark age and I think I'm getting there
-Make my films better (Animation, Writing, Editing, Lighting, etc.)
-Make more films (I definitely had the time last year to make more films, but I procrastinated.
-Maybe win some contests.
My new brickfilm reesolution shall be...
4800 X 2700
Because 5K is the future. Look what they said about 1080p all those years ago.
On a more serious note:
-I would like to have smoother animation
-Start using After Effects to create cool VFX to "wow" everyone
-hit 100 follower on Twitter by the end of the year (currently at 80)
-Manage to hit 1,000 subscribers on teh YouTube
-To be praised by all Brickfilmers as if I was Nick Park in the form of a Brickfilmer
-Onions love and affection
