This is my first film with 15fps. What do you think of it? What should Improve on?
I think the animation is pretty good and you're improving a lot with that. You could work on your lighting and there was some light flicker. Good job, al the same. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the comments! Anyone else have anything to say? I love feedback! 
I think it's pretty good. it had a nice buildup to the ending.
Thank you all for commenting and rating my film. I really enjoy seeing how much you like it!
Pretty nice build up like it has been said, though for next time I would work on your sets since they a rather bland and could use some depth. But besides that your animation is getting better! Keep it up!

I am contemplating adding more details to my sets, flowers, trees, ect. What do you suggest I add, because I don't want so many trees it looks like a forest.
you could build up the ground a little, in real life and in Minecraft the ground is rarely level, also if you keep the bottom of your backdrop behind bricks it will seem more realistic, and if possible, try to avoid animating on the seam between baseplates unless they are firmly connected to each other.
you could also check out the resources mentioned on this thread http://www.bricksinmotion.com/forums/to … good-sets/

Wow, that is some great advice! I will keep that in mind. 
The crack between the base plates that I have is there only because my camera is widescreen. I am still trying to fix that. Any other things worth mentioning that I should improve on? 
One thing you could do is use 3 baseplates instead of two, that would move the seam to the edges of the frame, and also give you more room to pan or dolly side to side.

I guess I should probably buy another baseplate then! I own other green plates, but they are dark green, and the ones in my animation are light green.

Well first I would move the blue backdrop out farther since it's a little too close. If you could get a piece of blue poster board, a blue screen, or a blue blanket that would do. That allows for more landscape and a more realistic shot. Maybe add some scenery, levels of ground, etc, whatever will give the set extra detail and depth. I got a lot of my inspiration from the movie Bound http://www.monitogostudios.com/bound-1/ Obviously it would be impossible to achieve that scale without spending a lot of money, but if you can try and mimic it to one degree or another your films will certainly stand out more. I understand if you don't have a lot of pieces to do that, so I would then create hills so we know there are boarders. (instead of seeing blue at the edge)
Hope that helped. I'll be happy to talk more if you want!
Harborlight is exactly right. I have just started to use coloured cards that I bought in a supermarket, they're really good and I would recommend using them. Also, up until very recently (even in some of my earlier scenes from my upcoming film) I have been using blankets and, once again, that works well too.
I think I will probably buy more base plates, and put them behind the first two, so I have a bigger background. Then I have more room to add detail. Wow, all of this information really helps! Thanks for the advice guys! I will start experimenting on some of this stuff before I begin on my next film. 
Anything else you guys left out?
