Sorry it's 720p :/
I'd suggest turning the looping feature on in YouTube (if it's available)

MANiFEST is this year's Bricks in Motion Summer Contest, the theme was "experimental" I knew about this contest for about a month (the day after BRAWL ended) but I spent all of my time contemplating ideas, writing scripts, and building sets and figures. Eventually I settled on a fun buddy cop comedy detective video with brick but figures, then I got way too ambitious and planned out a very large overarching story. I got attached to this idea so I shelved it to do it another time without a strict deadline. It will come out someday, probably for episodes, the story isn't totally written yet (but I have plenty of projects to do in the meantime. Long story short, I had a month to make an entry and ended up making this over the course of five days. After shelving the detective film I wanted to do something short and self-contained. I settled on this, the experimental/out of my comfort zone parts are: 8fps, 4:3 aspect ratio, and an endless loop. (plus liquid glass putty water)
5 days of work:
~16 hours in Stop Motion Studio
~4 hours in Power Director
filmed and edited on a Galaxy Note 10 (I swear it not this low res usually)
Credit to PudgeBallProductions' great video for inspiring this concept:

(I had the idea of an endless loop but couldn't think of a good concept for it, then I found this video)
Also thanks Ziltrag for the masking that fixed my set bump at 0:03

(His channel has many videos that are much better examples of 8fps animation)
