Sinfonia VI: A LEGO Animated Audio Visualization

Video Link

Here's a neat little animation me and a friend got commissioned to make for our local city band. We were given the task of animating a visualization of the piece they were playing. This is what we came up with. It's split into four compiled parts for each movement of the piece. There are a couple things that we would have changed if we'd noticed them. (Light flickers and such) Nevertheless we are proud to present to you the finished product.
Enjoy!

Re: Sinfonia VI: A LEGO Animated Audio Visualization

It's great to see another film from you, and it's one of the best I've seen this year! It's more like a series of short films, and they're all spectacular pieces of work. My favourite was the first segment; I just loved the experimental and playful animation and how the figure reacted to the movement.

I know all of this was made to fit the music, but it really did make a wonderful soundtrack. If only more brickfilms sounded like this. I was impressed by the walking and running animation with the short legs, and the sets particularly in the third and fourth segments were amazing. Great job and I'm sure your city band will be very pleased.

Thank you so much! Our city band performed the piece itself at their concert and we brought in a projector to play the animation. It was a huge success due to the click track that the conductor listened to while the video played. Very stressful though!

Very nice work! The animation felt quite polished to me, and I was impressed with how the scope of the visuals builds as it progresses. I feel like this is quite different from the norm on BiM in terms of its approach to telling a story, and that's a commendable thing to me.

This is one of the best brickfilm music videos I have ever seen. The timing is perfect, especially on the beginning scene. All of the animation is excellent, and the entire film is just a masterpiece, great job! mini/bigsmile

Re: Sinfonia VI: A LEGO Animated Audio Visualization

Really nice work. The combination of the music, and visual storytelling works superbly in this well animated film.
The sets are also nicely detailed.
In particular I like the use of mystery. It's not immediately apparent in any of the vignettes as what will happen next. It lets the viewer experience the story and music as a progression rather than a means to a plot resolution.
Well done Sir-Glub!

Thanks! We really had to challenge ourselves with this one, but we figured out a decent formula and I think it turned out quite nicely. mini/smile

Thanks man! It's tricky trying to convey a story without sound effects or any guidelines whatsoever. Luckily it turned out how we wanted it to! mini/smile

Re: Sinfonia VI: A LEGO Animated Audio Visualization

Wow! That was really great. The music was nice and coupled with your visuals made an entertaining film. I was impressed at the stop motion in this. Really well done. I also liked the sets.

I really like how the music and visuals work together to give a certain, specific feelings to the viewers. Not something I see in brickfilms that often.

Thanks! Building the sets was one of my favourite things to do. mini/smile
