Topic: 2015 Community Brickfilm Project Discussion
Currently looking for community input!
Fellow community members! We are currently looking for community input. If you are a member of Bricks in Motion, and want to help us out on this community project, please click the link below to take out short survey concerning the project. All ideas are welcome. This survey may not last very long (probably only two weeks), so try to post your ideas fast!

Hey guys! I hope I've been watching the old community project videos from Brickfilms.com and Bricks in Motion, and have regretted not getting into the brickfilming community years earlier so I could participate in those. The past is the past, but there is nothing preventing us from starting another community project! While many community projects have failed, lets try to make this one succeed, shall we?
Some things I have learned from this topic:
The film needs to have a story, not just be a montage video. It needs to be something unique, that no one person could have done on their own. Something that only a community of people could have created together.
We can use the same characters over multiple animators, as long as they are simple enough, or as long as the parts for the minifigure are not too expensive on Bricklink or in a current LEGO set.
As the producer, I have the right to say no to people. So, please do not get personally offended if I tell you that you do not fit a certain job. There may be other ways to help.
This community project needs to be fun, so we are not going to spoil the story to all of the users of the community. The writers will write it, then the animators will animate, then the editor will edit, and the music producer will compose, but the general community will not be told the story ahead of time to prevent spoilers and make it more fun for everybody.
There are certain teams for each task. Like I said above, there is a team for writing, animating, editing, composing, and other things that may be done. I will use this topic as a call for team members, not for idea collaboration (though, if you do have a story idea, please suggest now while we are still writing the story).
The point of this topic:
The point of this topic is to call for community members. You may post your ideas here, but the topic is going to be used mostly as a call for community members.
I am planning of head-starting (a.k.a. Producing this community project if it ever gets off the ground (and if the staff agree), so please, don't create topics based on your idea for a community project, because we all need to be on board with this thing or else it would never go anywhere.
