stop motion short "trailer"

[david]

I was working on this thing last month, but since I'm so lazy and not sure I will ever finish it (as usual...) I uploaded this short "trailer" on archive.org.

At least some of it will be seen...

thanks in advance for any comment!

awsome! i love lego-mations. very clever idea using the light bright to make fire by the way,the animation is superb.

[david]

thanks!

never did any animation before, but I played a lot with legos when I was a kid, so this was intended as an homage to the great possibilities that those little bricks give you.

Btw most of lego animations I've seen so far were quite disappointing, the only real brilliant thing was that White Stripes videoclip a few years ago (can't remember the title of the song). That was absolute genius.

Too bad now kids are not playing legos that much anymore.

that was michel gondry who did that white stripes video. took him 3 months to do it. my favourite director.

[david]

that was michel gondry

was it? I've only seen it a few times, and didn't know he did it. Not a surprise it was so good.

Very well done, David! :!:

That animal looks like a real living animal!
Those little movements it makes when it stands still are awesome.

Everything came together in the clip really well - the animal's "blink" made it real. Well done.

Hah! I love the animated fireplace. Very clever.

Some may have seen this but there's a Lego animated Spiderman vx Doc Ock on google:

thanks! Actually it was the only viable solution to give it some sort of facial expression. Other options were really too much work, luckily it seems it worked well this way

was joking

actually there's not a proper story, there's just this rat finding a battery for the clock on the wall. Then a few strange things happens but you will see (hope so).

I have to take a big breath and start to work on it again. Next scenes will require an awful lot of time, and in the end the short will be around three-four mins long. I've shot two mins so far.
