Brickfilmers Achievments #2 - Paganomation Get 100,000 Views On Video!

"This Video" is actually the succesful film Marvel Superheroes - Iron Man. It was uploaded in late June, and became an instant success. This was the 3rd in a series of superhero films - the previous being a Batman parody and a Spiderman, however, they have yet to achieve 100,000 views. I'm not entirely sure why Iron-Man is so popular, though. (It's probably just to do with him being really awesome)

IRONMANIA - BOTW #13

This week is BOTW #13. I was hoping to myself all week that it wouldn't be unlucky, and it actually wasn't. I got some good animations, and I would like to share them with you.
3.Boo-BricksinMotion Animation Challenge - MegaGill74. This video is cool. The music and lighting really help the creepy atmosphere, and it achieves the scary mood. It was a bit random at the end, but aren't all animation challenge entries? Anyway, the humour did help the video not be (another) lego parody of Slender, so I appreciate the randomness. Also, congratulations to MegaGill for his first film to be featured in BOTW! I've ben subscribed for a while, ever since a repelling spider featured him in his blog. He produces high quality animations regularly, and he's really good.
2.LEGO Marvel Super Heroes - Iron Man - Paganomation. This video is the second in a series of Lego Marvel videos. I really like them, and Paganomation are really good, professional animators. The set design is really cool, and they use a whole load of techniques that are difficult (such as VFX techniques, masking, set design, great uses of lighting) and I have a great deal of respect for them. The only trouble is, as animators for the Lego group (awesome) they make videos which are usually directed at younger audiences, which can make the outcome slightly cheesy, but they are really enjoyable for all audiences.
1.Animation Reel - CrazyEdChannel. This is a great reel. Every single animation in the reel is smooth, well lit , uses great animation techniques - I'm starting to think that CrazyEd may be one of the best animators out there. The time he puts into his work is phenomenal, and I really want to congratulate him on making such amazing animations, and thank him for entertaining us in his usual manic way. He is, truly, as great an entertainer as he is an animator.

The Most Powerful Wizard In The World - BOTW #8

I've been oddly excited about writing this blog post. I think it's because we've had a great week of brickfilms and I've been wondering about what I'll choose. There's one thing I'm really disappointed I left out, but well, that's life, isn't it?

3.The Sad Truth (Rerun) - thefourmonkeys. These guys released this new film on their new channel, and it is one of their most popular videos with over eleven thousand views. They re-released it on their old channel, which it quite a bit more popular, with around 22,000 subscribers. I think all their fans were glad to see the film again, and the fans still subscribed to the classic channel would think it was a good film. I especially like the joke at the end. These guys really know how to make me (and others) laugh!
2.LEGO Marvel Super Heroes-Spider-Man - -Paganomation. This is a very clever animation. I really like the time taken into this film, as rope pieces are not easily manoeuvred around while animating. Paganomation have had a breakthrough of animation lately, and not all of it has been for the Lego group. I'm really looking forward to the 'Little Guys...In Space!' project. This is a very good animation, and is also very funny.
1.LEGO Voldemort Goes Wand Shopping - BrotherhoodWorkshop. This is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. This was a great film, and a surprising break from LOTR (well...kind of). It had great use of the set Diagon Alley, and I'm also a really big fan of the graphic design, VFX, masking and voice acting. Also, it was sponsored by artifexcreation, which is a first. I've never seen a brickfilmer sponsor another brickfilmer, so I find this video a start in many ways. Also, I like it.

Chase McCain In Animation - And More! BOTW #5

Before I start showing you this week's brickfilms, I'm going to announce that my half-weekly blogpost is discontinued as I am going to concentrate on this weekly one. Right, let's go!
3.LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins Stop-Motion Feature - MICHAELHICKOXFilms. Michael Hickox recently hit 100,000 subscribers, which is a brickfilm achievement in my eyes, as only two other brickfilmers have managed this achievement (forrestfire101 and Keshen8) so, I guess this video was his celebration. He was asked by LEGO to promote their new game, The Chase Begins about LEGO City, the first LEGO City game commerically availiable, on Wii U and Nintendo 3DS. Overall, I think this video is funny, with Michael's predictable cheesy joke (this one is at 1:56). The animation quality is great, as always, but it would be good to see him trying a different story style.  .
2.Garbage Man - Paganomation. I was suprised that the official animators for The Official Lego Channel on youtube had time to enter the ReBrick competition, but I am very glad that they have found the time. Personally, this is my favourite Garbage Truck modification, but sadly I don't have all those pieces to make it :'( I also think that it is a magnificently animated video, but the only thing that I feel they should have dropped is the title card, as it will be removed if they win and it looked like they had taken time over it :(
Well, I am still supporting every ReBrick entry out there, so if you are reading and have a ReBrick entry submitted now,  I wish you the very best of luck!
1.Gorgy wants a horse - BrotherhoodWorkshop. This is my favourite ReBrick entry so far, and I am not suprised that BrotherhoodWorkshop's ReBrick Entries have both topped my charts consecutively. The creation is unique, but he is not the only person to opt for a medieval theme. How would anyone know that a barn could be turned into a Rocket Powered Wooden horse! I really think that BrotherhoodWorkshop is an amazing, creative, unique animator, and I think that this is almost guaranteed to do well. Well done BrotherhoodWork!
