Hey, smeagol, do you think my "Perspective" is a good idea to make? YOu know that script I sent you?
Woah, this sounds awesome. I believe there will be some amazing entries to this contest(Night Owl). The theme would be great in a brickfilm(Better than STAR, but STAR was still awesome).
And BTW hi guys.
I can't wait to see some entries you guys!
The Avant-Garde is dead. Long live the Avant-Garde. Or better: gadjama gramma berida bimbala glandri galassassa laulitalomini
gadji beri bin blassa glassala laula lonni cadorsu sassala bim. Somebody had to say it!
So postmodern Avant-Garde artists, take out your old funny hats, start speaking in fantasy languages and do not forget your towels.

I don't remember it too well, but if it's the script I'm thinking of didn't it have a lot of violence and language? In which case it wouldn't be eligible for the contest. Either way though, I'd encourage trying to think outside the box a little more, from what I remember it was a fairly conventional narrative. I know this is going to happen, inevitably, but I don't really want to see people enter whatever film they're currently working on, with a couple bits of dialog changed to suit the theme. "Avant-garde" should be an approach to making the whole film, from the top down.

It really depends where you live, I guess, for me a July 25 deadline would give me almost all of summer break to work on an entry and I know that's the case for many others in the United States.
For me, I have 3 days of the summer holidays before the deadline.
The theme is intriuging, would a Koyaanisqatsi-esque film count? As that's one of my many partly formed ideas.

I thought about it too...but I don't know if I'll do a "quatsi" film...
I unfortunately haven't seen that film, but from my understanding yes, something in a style similar to that would be suitable for this contest.
I'm pretty good with the script, wrote it a year ago, and you'll find the title in my sig by now.
This film wight have bit too much violence(like a guy being shot, then falling of a window.), but it will not contain any guts or blood, only some bullets and some exploding cars.
Will I get sued for that?
That sounds like you will be keeping it within reason -- I would probably tend to draw the line at blood and gore, yes.
I agree with Cheshire, it concerns me that some people are nearing completion or are nearly done scripting. For a contest where the concept itself is so central, I would recommend thinking of ideas for at least a week or two before attempting to outline a story. I know I don't feel comfortable scripting anything until I've had a few weeks to think about the idea and whether or not it's really the best it can be.
This. This is why I'm spending 3 months on scripting. Now I wish I had a scripting buddy though.

Ah, good. I hoped I didn't had to change my now 11-paged script...
Okay, but don't say I didn't warn you!

I think he was being sarcastic.
Oh.
um.....no comment.

I agree, This is one of the reasons why it was announced this early. Now people have more time.
I have a question: If I use shadows of Lego figures, would it still count as Lego or Lego like products?
Yes, as long as that is clearly the case.

I willl not change my script one bit. This film will contain some animation techniques that is rarely seen, and they'll hopefully be good.
