Topic: Lighting/Green Screen/Animation Test

You might be wandering (after watching the short) why this is here (and not in the releases thread). 
So, first off I should explain why that is.
It was meant as a test and in some aspects it still is.  If it weren't for me thinking up a story along the way, it would have been just a plain, boring test.
So that is why the story is not so well thought out and why it is a test.

Now I'll explain the origins of this test.
Firstly, if you've seen any of my videos, you'll know that they do suffer from light flicker and/or any other form of light problems.  So that's why I sat down and told myself that to start 2014, I would try and improve my lighting set-up.  I searched tutorials and even had a browse through the forums and found some useful advice.  Then I put my lamp in position, adjusted my camera settings and got to work.

Secondly, I wanted to test my green screening and editing skills.  However, it did not go well at all and thanks to my stupidity in positioning the green screen, it reflected upon the minifigures and sets and therefore could not be used.  This accounts for the change of green screen from one shot to another.

Lastly I wanted to improve my animating in general and I think that compared my other videos it is slightly better.

Overall it was a test and I wish to read your views/criticism/advice/anything down below.

Overall, this is good! The animation and camera movements are nice, if a bit choppy. The light flicker is minimal; it looks like that problem is mostly solved. I don't know much about green screening, but your problem is understandable as LEGO bricks are extremely reflective. Once again, nice work overall.

Thankyou for your kind remarks.  I'm quiet happy you think that it's good. mini/bigsmile 
My plans for this year are to concentrate on writing scripts for future projects whilst still doing some tests, until school ends and then I can really concentrate on brickfilming and using my scripts.

Thanks again for your thoughts. mini/smile
