Yes, it's homemade, fresh from the toaster oven.

Re: Just Girl Stuff

It makes for an incredibly niche combination, but I find it interesting to see this subject matter discussed in a brickfilm. I thought the voice acting was well done, and I liked how the scenes created with digital layers felt intentionally stylized, which can't always be said for such things in brickfilming. It did seem a bit erratic to bounce between the educational show style and the video-essay-style heavy and frank discussions between the human characters. It also felt kind of jarring to go from a more serious part into dark and violent humour. I think adding humour in parts like that can be done, but I feel it could be more carefully considered. I'm finding it difficult to articulate exactly what I mean or what I would recommend; I just can't help but feel that certain aspects wouldn't play well to people who aren't already "with the programme", so to speak. I can tell you have a lot of thoughts in your head and would like to reach people, and this is why I feel more inclined to post a longer response that I hope is critical in a constructive way. I like the style, and even if I have my criticisms, I do like to see brickfilms with some more "real" themes going on, because it is rare. My favourite parts were actually the discussions between the human characters on their own.

I really appreciate this feedback! I totally see where you're coming from and I'm glad there was still a lot you liked. I think that, to a degree, the jarring whiplash of tones and styles was absolutely intentional on my part but I can definitely see why it might be off-putting to some and how reeling things in a bit more might have helped. Your analysis has left me a lot to take into consideration for the future and I am grateful for you taking the time to leave it!
