Annoying Noises ProductionsAn animated poem set in the Magical Land of Riigo-Faloo about the old elven tale of a woman and her story with the Pumpkins Three. Made entirely within the space of just one week for the brickfilming contest BRAWL (Brickfilm Rapidly All Week Long)
Camera: Nikon D31000 FPS: 15 Microphone: Blue Snowball.
This is part of the Riigo-Faloo storyline which I have been DEVELOPING for some time. Riigo-Faloo can also be seen in my other films Sharks and Clowns (http://youtu.be/MNERL6rRAf8) and The Lost Invention (http://youtu.be/tSjlPrcHi3M). This story is set over 700 years before the events of Sharks and Clowns in the First Imperial Era. However, the story is not necessarily an actual event in Faloovian history, but a popular story. There are many tales about the Pumpkins three, but no one is sure if they were actually true or not. This specific poem was written by an elven bard over a century after the events supposedly transpired. It remains a popular sort of fairytale in all Faloo.
Hidden someplace in this video is a ninja, a Slenderman, and a barrel of parrots. Can you find them? (The Slenderman is actually hidden twice)
The Poem:
Once upon a time in Faloo In times before the Rule of Two In that place you’d know as Korange There we lived with faces orange
We are called the Pumpkins Three We grant you wishes for a fee Just come to us with your desire We are the best in the empire
They came to us from here to there but there’s one tale we’d like to share A she-elf came to us one day She had come from far away
She came to Korange with hair of orange She dressed in red a maid unwed But something there did look amiss A something one could not dismiss She looked quite wrong and out of place For the maiden here had not a face
‘Twas there and then the elf in red Beseeched us to restore her head She wanted eyes so she could see A mouth as well to taste her tea But her lips she most did miss For faceless elves can never kiss
We said we would grant her request But first she should go on a quest
It is our notion to brew up a potion So we three said to the she-elf in red We thought to mix her a mighty elixir For things that are tragic are fixed up by magic So said we, the Pumpkins Three But before this potion’s enveloped We implore it must be developed
In the dungeon known as Pilver trolls have left some Tears of Silver fight the beast and bring them here For we do need one silver tear
But don’t forget we need your fee For what we do is not for free You will go to find Keep Gurple There you’ll find a Potion Purple It will suffice to pay your price
We spoke our asks, she went to tasks She fought a troll and paid her toll Then she came here with items two We mixed a tear into our brew Our potion done, for that we knew Equal to none but save a few
We cut a hole for her to drink A grisly toll we all did think There was a flash of brilliant light It shined at us so blindingly bright There was a glare and it cleared But then and there her face appeared
It was a scare all burnt and seared
She saw she was hideous and looked quite insidious Her face was quite horrible, ‘twas greatly deplorable
Until then we’d omitted how she’d been troll-witted
She once had a face that one could admire But that then did change in her brush with fire She came to us to forget her face Better none than one out of place
Develop we can when errors we make Better’s a man who’s learned from mistake The lesson here of our little vinjet: Mem’ry is dear, so please don’t forget

(In Riigo-Faloo, vignette is spelled vinjet)Pirates Rule! – 10ᵗʰ Anniversary HD RemasterAnnoying Noises Productions2021-03-04 | My most popular video 'Pirates Rule!' now remastered in HD for its 10th anniversary. And if you enjoyed this, please check out my latest project WELCOME TO DARKMOOR here: youtu.be/PSLzwqvyVS8 (It took five years to make!)
Originally animated in 2010 and released on March 4th 2011, 'Pirates Rule!' is an adventure about LEGO pirates and ninjas fighting over a chest of gold. Since then, the original upload has gained over two and a half million views. It is also my first video to properly feature my iconic squid Mr. Munchy.
A great number of people have told me over the years how much they enjoyed coming back to watch it again because of the nostalgia attached to it. So I wanted to do something special for the 10th anniversary and make those extra viewings a little bit more enjoyable. I still had all of the max resolution frames, so I re-edited the entire film into an HD project.
The only other changes I made: Upgraded the rating at the start (once I saw it in HD again I really felt like it needed to be better) Fixed the awful camera bump right after Barrels enters the hideout Redid the subtitles (couldn't get the original font, sadly, but I fixed a spelling mistake) Reduced background fuzz in the Annoying Noises Productions sound at the very end of the video
Other than that, the video is almost exactly how it was 10 years ago.
Make sure to subscribe so that you can see my next project RED ORDER once as it's complete. It's definitely going to be a while. In the meantime, my colleague Squidtastic recently completed our collaborative project 'The Name of Cole'. I wrote the script and did most of the voicework while he handled animation and the rest of the production. Watch The Name of Cole here: youtu.be/7gKTzWUQJaI

If you any questions, please let me know in the comments here, on my channel, or on Twitter. I'm always eager to help other brickfilms with advice or detailed explanations on how to execute specific animation techniques.I am the Night — A LEGO Batman AdventureAnnoying Noises Productions2016-02-10 | A fan-made animated LEGO Batman short from Annoying Noises Productions about Batman working to stop the nefarious villain King Tut and his gang.
I started filming this in 2012, and continued to do so on and off, but I kept getting disrupted by moving and changing to other projects, so it took a really long time. This was originally meant to be part of a larger film with several other villains such as Scarecrow, Scarface, and the Joker, however, it ended up being too ambitious for its own good, so I've decided to wrap up the first act and present it as its own short so that I can focus an other large projects such as Welcome to Darkmoor (which is already more than half-way finished).
King Tut is based off of the villain from the 1960s Batman TV series with Adam West. As with most of the characters I had planned for the film, I wanted to give them my own fresh spin, kind of like how Dark Knight Joker is different from the Joker in other Batman stuff. That's why King Tut looks more creepy than silly, and also why Batman has a glowing face.
To make Batman's face glow, a turned around a glow-in-the-dark LEGO head and shined a rather bright light at it before every frame to charge it for maximum brightness. This proved to be extremely difficult, which is one of the reasons why I shortened the film.
I'll still be making Welcome to Darkmoor, though. If you want to know more about the project and get updates, feel free to check out my Flickr: https://flic.kr/p/Ctkrjj

There is a ninja hidden in the video. Happy hunting!Leprechauns in FranceAnnoying Noises Productions2014-03-17 | The animated story of a Frenchman named Garry and his fantastic encounter with Fred the Leprechaun. Animated entirely with LEGO bricks. (Make sure not to skip the extra scene after the credits)
This film was animated entirely by myself (Harrison/Squid). Also, every single sound effect in this film was recorded by me. The plasticy sound effects were made with actual LEGO bricks to give it more LEGO feel and I made most of the bird tweets with my mouth.
All of the effects in this film were done entirely in-shot besides certain effects involving masking by taking multiple frames. The lighting effects were done with electric torches/flashlights and transparent bricks and CDs. The blur effects were created by moving the figure as the frame was captured.
Cast: Harrison Allen/Squid as Fred the Leprechaun and Garry the Frenchman
Frame-Rate: 15 frames-per-second Camera: Nikon D3100 Microphone: Blue Snowball
Hidden things in this film: Mr. Munchy, the Giant Alien Cyborg Man-Eating Squid The ninja The Frog-Man

Batman goes to the Medieval Wing of the Gotham Museum to stop the Penguin from stealing a valuable ancient diamond in an action-packed super hero fight, with katanas, tricked out umbrellas, and explosions!
I redid the characters for this movie to make them cool, creepy, and stylized instead of just using the regular Batman and Penguin figures. Yes, Batman has a glowing face.
I made the face glow by using a glow-in-the-dark face from the Arkham Asylum Scarecrow minifigure. I turned the head around, used it on Batman, then shined a light on it before every frame.
Enjoy! Rate, favorite, and comment, please. :)The Lost InventionAnnoying Noises Productions2012-12-31 | Another brickfilm tale set in the Magical Land of Riigo-Faloo.
