Romance Needs No Words - BOTW #18

This week I have found myself looking at the most wide range of films I've ever seen in one week. That's mainly due to the fact that there hasn't really been a contest on, apart from rebrick.com's 'Show Us An AFOL*' which was only released later in the week. I am excited to show you all the different varieties of films, so let's start!
3.Spaceman Frank - backyardlegos. This is what I mean when I say there is a variety of films this week, and this one may be the most strange unique. Even though the film is short, it's pleasing and makes you laugh. The animation is good, and it's actually a pretty good limerick (if there is such a thing). I wish this kind of humorous poetry was made more into brickfilms, because it's very clever and a great idea. It would also give a chance for brickfilmers to be creative in a short space of time.
2.AFOL Date - thefourmonkeys4. This is an entry to Rebrick's 'Show Us An AFOL' competition, and was only just released when I started writing this. I like the animation and the set design, and it's a worthy entrant to the competition. I think that the storyline is fine, but it could have benefited from a bit of a twist.  Thefourmonkeys create such a variety of films, often, and all of good quality. Well done Monkeys!
1.Love In Black and White - Walter Benson. Walter hasn't uploaded a video for months, since his attempt at THAC X (which he only came 40th at - which I thought was outrageous). I love the story, and although it may have been lengthy - for a brickfilm - was good the way it is. I also liked the animation, although it wasn't perfect. But my favourite part was the set-design. Walter is well known on  Flickr for his amazing sets, and I love how he incorporates the sets into his brickfilms as well as his photos. I really like the park gates, and because of his large Lego collection, he can incorporate lots of detail into small things. I love this video, and I just hope there isn't another 7 Month gap between this and his next one!

BiMAC #2 - ZachFBStudio's 2013 Animation Contest

This post is a luxury that doesn't happen a lot. That is partly due to the fact that notable contests just don't get uploaded a lot. This contest, however, was one of those abstract ones. It wasn't really based on anything, no particular theme, just, as ZachFB says, "have fun!"
The winner was julsier with INFRILTRATION HD. It was also my favourite, although all entries were of a high quality. I congratulate Zach for the effort of creating the contest and investing in prizes, and I congratulate everyone for their effort in participating.  I certainly hope the winners enjoy their prizes! :)

Don't Kill The Messenger - BOTW #12

I was very excited about this week. So excited, I was shaking with anticipation. I knew this week would be awesome, and it was. But why? I'll show you.
3.Food Fight [Animation Challenge Entry] - backyardlegos. This was a great entry to the food fight animation challenge on bricksinmotion.com, which was one of the reasons I was so excited about this week. This was a great theme, chosen (as far as I know) by Ttownstudios, and gathered up some unique and interesting entries. This one was one of my favourites, along with MRlegobuilder987's  entry, and it's also pretty funny.
2.LEGO Battle At The Black Gate - BrotherhoodWorkshop. BrotherhoodWorkshop appears so frequently on this blog, that he is easily the most featured brickfilmer in it. Of course, this is no surprise, seeing that he uploads good-quality animations once every two weeks. I am personally a big fan of his works, and love his distinctive animation style and tricks. It's no wonder he's built up such a large amount of subscribers and interest. He is not only funny, but is a great animator too.
1.NNN - The Orange-Green War Continues - NightlyNewsatNine. This was the real reason that I was excited this week. This has been in production for almost 6 months, and it has been a tense wait. It was planned exactly when it was going to come out on YouTube (*cough*and I was the first viewer*cough*) I was so excited that I sat down next to the computer for 5 minutes waiting for it to go live, and it lived up to my expectations. The animation was flawless, and the entire storyline is fantastic. The only bad thing is now we have to waitfor Chapter 3 to come out :(
