Brick Battle
This is the trailer for our upcoming "Avant-Garde" animation. It is a tale not only of battles and bricks, but also of brains. Who will win? You'll have to wait for the film to find out!
EDIT: It is also available for download here.

Looks very creative! Can't wait to see it 
This looks like it's going to be good. I'm loving the shaky cam effect! The question is... how will the battle end Nice work on the trailer! I could feel things getting tenser as it went.
Looks good. Can't wait!

I thought that was a really good teaser. Looking forward to the production. P.S. Thanks for answering my q.
Thanks for all the feedback guys! On a side note, this film is really the origin of our sig-figs.
It was alright, but I think it needed at least one more explosion. Maybe two. I would have done three
Very creative, and nice animation. Lookin' forward to it!
Impressive, definitely looking forward to this.
The fight is maybe not fast enough. But it's very smooth! Great trailer!
This looks like it will be an entertaining and well-done film. -Looking forward to it!
Interesting idea with lots of possibilities, I look forward to seeing it.
Can't wait to see this! I thought of this idea a while ago but I'm thankful that you made it because if I did, it would end up looking awful. Looking forward to it!
First of all, the animation looks smooth (the walk-cycle in particular), especially in comparison to some of your other movies. The font in the different areas was creative and fit in well; the light change around your studio name, the studded text during the trailer, and the stars coming from either side of the title at the end. Unfortunately, there seemed to be some slight lighting change; not really flickering, but in different scenes, the amount of light seemed to change. Of course this could have been intentional in some areas; such as the poles coming from the ground, or the side of the arena that they are on. The text in-between the scenes made the light change significantly less noticeable.
Now as to how it appeared as a trailer. I noticed that you never showed the attack with the outcome; you showed both of them, but at different times. Consequently, one becomes interested in the outcome of each attack. Also, as Daniel pointed out, the battle did become more intense as it continued.
The trailer is well done, showing the main point of your film, and what is necessary to grab the interest of the viewer, keeping the best for the complete film.
Thanks for all the critique guys!

The was not really on purpose. It was quite hard to keep the lighting exactly the same while filming it. It was filmed over the time of about six months, so there are complications.
Once again, thanks for all the helpful critique guys! It's really a pleasure to work for and be a member of such a great site.
