Awesome frames, Brickcrazy! I look forward to following this production log.

Thanks for the compliments guys

@funmiproductions I've only just began production, so I really can't set even an estimated release date quite yet. I'll get a better idea as filming progresses. Another reason to stay tuned

This looks really great! I love the frames. They have a cluttered claustrophobic feel which really suits the spaceship atmosphere. I'm also looking forward to following the production.
That motion blur test was really good as well by the by

Oh, fancy motion blur!
Well done motion blur can add a lot to a film, as well as give it a distinct style; a style that will fit this film perfectly.
You've nailed it this time, but inconsistent motion blur can ruin the visuals, so make sure it it all looks this good.

Were I to offer some advice on the animation itself, you may want to add a bit more 'bounce' to Vega's stop.
She flies in, and then it seems that the momentum vanishes once she leans back up.

Also, the door animation is fine in my opinion, it's smooth and consistent, which is great and a lot harder to accomplish than many think. But since the ship looks abandoned/ruined, you may want some inconsistency and roughness with some of the other doors. Not all the time, but one or two perhaps. Some smooth, some damaged, some broken apart, a bit of variety would probably go a long way in adding some nice detail.

Thanks Guys!

@backyardlegos I made the doors open somewhat slowly in an attempt to add to the feel that the ship is old and in a state of disrepair. I did have them open faster in my second attempt, however, and I think it looks much better.

@Prichard Studios I did try to give her a bit of a bounce at the end, but I agree, it wasn't quite enough. Good suggestion as far as inconsistency among doorways opening. I'll keep that in mind.

@HoldingOurOwn Yep, I still haven't chosen a voice actor for the final character yet (the villain). Feel free to audition! For anyone else interested, you can find my casting call here.

Anyhow, here is my second attempt at the motion blur shot. Personally, I think it turned out much better, particularly the landing.

Motion Blur Test 2

From what I've seen so far, I think the wider aspect ratio will really suit the film well. I love that frame.

See, I told you a wider aspect ratio would work well for your film!

Technically (and you already know this, but I am going to say it for the sake of those reading), 1920x800 is kind of an odd aspect ratio. If you wanted an authentic aspect ratio (like one used on film), you would use 1920x817. Though. I suppose the 17 frames don't matter too terribly much.

Looks great! Glad to see longer brickfilms are beginning to make a comeback.

I'm always one for dutch angles, but that may be a tab much.
Unless the camera is slowly twisting from this to something less angled, in which case it'll be great.
