Brickfilm Day Animation Contest 2023: Round 3 (Revelation) Code Man 2023-08-28 | I don't have the strength to write much here. Been working on this for more than 7hrs now. Currently 7:23am. I'll need to sleep for a few hours before work at 4...wow I'm exhausted. No clue how I feel about the animation. might grow on me in the -morning- afternoon. 10fps was the perfect speed for dramitc timing after shooting must of the shots that felt rushed at 12. The irregular framerate doesn't play perfectly but I don;t really notice. uh.......................yeah. bts post on insta and maybe nam edoc eventuallygoodnight- 1,812 subscribers -
Brickfilm Day Animation Contest 2023: Round 2 (Swing) Code Man 2023-08-21 | Many different interpretations of "swing"it is 5:30 in the morning as I write this.I have been working on it since 11ish last night.I wasted all of my time attempting to do a Spiderman web swing and eventually gave up and animated all these small vignettes.12:46pm version of Code Man, I just added captions to really spell out the different "swings" as a way to kill time before making this public. I got a solid 4ish hours of sleep since. Feeling better.- 1.78k subscribers -edit: original title had "cotenst" in it, lol
Brickfilm Day Animation Contest 2023: Round 1 (Lost) Code Man 2023-08-14 | Took a little under six hours to animate.Most of that time was spent on the grass.(Those tufts of grass have unique reactions to the wind that stay consistent throughout the animation)Took another half hour to mask everything, only to find that Stop Motion Studio kills the quality of the frame as soon as you mask on it. That's fun. It's 4am as I write this. Working on a failed BRAWL entry as well. expect that eventually. - 1.78k subscribers -

Endless Chase Remastered Code Man 2021-12-15 | A little fixed-up version of Endless Chase with the benefit of extra time, hindsight, and Davinci Resolve. All changes:-Added Code Man logo (was originally left of so it could be looped infinitely)-1080p footage (the original was 720p from cropping because my phone's editor, Power Director, didn't offer a 4:3 render option so I had to crop the footage after the fact-- killing the quality. This version uses the old sound design with the original footage played overtop thanks to Davinci Resolve)-Added ambiance/music(The original was left 'intentionally' baren with just the natural sound effects. Although, I probably would have done some music similar to this at the time if I wasn't completing it so close to the deadline.)-Slight sound tweaks(louder sounds for crashing through the bush, quieter water splashes in the beginning. I did all the audio editing the first time around from my phone speakers and only learned after the fact how loud and detailed the splash sounds were in headphones, whoops but it should be.. better.. now)-Less abrupt ending(the original ending very abruptly to allow a viewer to play the video on repeat and not see the loop point. This edit has a logo at the beginning and a hint towards further loops, I think it works a little better as a self-contained film. Showing two full loops is all a viewer should need to enjoy it the first time and pick up on the details second viewing.)Realizing moments before I post this that I forgot to add a black screen at the end to add end screens. Oh well, too much of a hassle to fix the edit, send it off to be cropped (cant figure out how to render in 4:3 in Resolve cause I'm new to propper editors, and clueless in general) and repost it to YouTube so I can copy over all this stuff. Too much effort to promote my stuff at the end of this video that will perform TERRIBLY I'm sure. If naM edoC has told me anything, consistent uploads make YouTube love you. I can only imagine it also works in reverse. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Old description:"Sorry it's 720p :/I'd suggest turning the looping feature on in YouTube (if it's available)All the MANiFEST entries:youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ8pjkxN12lQA-mlom2KiRvfdI3Odv3UEMANiFEST 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.

Brickfilm Day Animation Contest: Round 3 (Spooky) Code Man 2021-08-23 | all the footage I animated in order of filming:youtu.be/axL780vPdW0"feel like I've stumbled to the finish line.. I've made worse things for sure but I think I could have done much better, there are few impressive moments. I don't know for sure, my judgement is pretty skewed from the stress of how good the competition is and just tiredness. (currently 5am, started the bulk of the animation at 10) Let's hope this is much better in the morning (probably afternoon by the time I wake up)I don't think I have anything else to ramble about." -Code Man (5am)wow all the thumbnails for my entries this year have been ugly, the only good one is the first one because I didn't use a screenshot.

Brickfilm Day Animation Contest: Round 2 (Frustration) Code Man 2021-08-16 | ha, and I thought I had bad time management in round one. Due to bad allergies and a busy schedule, I completed this entry from midnight the to 5:30 am the day it was due. (its 6 am now, when writing this) Pretty happy with the results, it's really messy with all the set bumps but the animation turned out pretty good I'd say.

Brickfilm Day Animation Contest: Round 1 (Ascent) Code Man 2021-08-09 | I had a clip animated, then was too busy to finish.

This is such a small upload that it wouldn't normally be public but I think I've already made a pattern of posting my bfd animation contest entries, so here it is.shot on a Galaxy Note 10.idk what else I usually put in my descriptions, it's 5 am.-821 subscribers-

BIM Animation Challenge | Weeks 1, 2, & 4 Code Man 2021-02-24 | This a compilation of my entries to the first four weeks of Bricks in Motion's Animation Challenge (More info on it can be found here: youtu.be/bu0E-qwOQ0I) The challenge is still going so I imagine I will create enough footage in the next few weeks for another compilation of these entries, stay tuned.A more in-depth explanation of each clip:0:00 - Intro0:08 - "Chopping Down a Tree"Animated at 15 fps, filmed over the course of two nights, sound done in one day.0:32 - "Painting a Wall"Animated at 15 fps, filmed over the course of three nights, sound done in one day.1:02 - I was the judge, no entry for week threeI decide the theme and chose the top three this week because I got first the week prior.1:08 - "Tiptoeing"Animated at 10 fps (this is the only reason I am doing these descriptions for each week) Filmed over the course of two nights, the sound was done in one day. (It also took most of a day to mask all the footage, in nearly every shot with the thief there was a rig in the background to keep the figure steady. The old legs didn't have enough friction to hold the figure up.)The challenge is still going, anyone can jump in any time..... everything you need to know is in here: youtu.be/bu0E-qwOQ0I
Unexpected Challenges | A Zombie Brickfilm Code Man 2021-01-25 | #VPLOJanuaryContestI started filming this video ten months ago and completed animation a month or two later in infrequent work sessions. I posted a small section of the fight in the green room to participate in MindGame Studios' Quarantine Daze and titled the video to advertise its eventual full release. I quickly ran into issues with sound editing and I gave up on the project. It had been so long since I animated the film that I had lost faith in the quality of the animation. I rebranded the Quarantine Daze video to not give false hope to those who wanted to see the full film.Around two months ago, I started to enjoy sound editing and found an app (PowerDirector) that worked well and gave me a few extra tools to work with. I rediscovered this sci-fi zombie film and found a good music track to go with it. I had done some volume keyframing and experimenting for fun when I found out about VPLO Studio's zombie animation contest. The film I was already working on fit the theme so I decided to complete the sound design and release it for the contest. There are no explicit rules which stated that your entry needs to be created solely in January but I commented and asked on Instagram whether this entry would be acceptable. I never got an answer but would not complain if I was disqualified. Over the past month, I did the sound design, snow effects (snow elements filmed by me), and created a channel title card to tie the project together.TL;DR: I animated this project 10 months ago and finally did the sound effects recently to enter the VPLO January Contest. Shot on a Samsung Galaxy S8 with Stop Motion StudioEdited on a Samsung Galaxy Note 10 with PowerDirector(Snow elements filmed by me and free to use here: youtu.be/Kpj7qDdjoME )-511 Subscribers-

Unfinished Project and a Small Update Code Man 2020-12-26 | This is the only footage I shot for this project. This was filmed in October and gave up on it for its lack of clarity. But after doing the sound and rain effects recently as a test I decided it was good enough to post.I am currently a third of the way through my newest film and it's only set up to the fight scene so far. It won't be out for a while.I'm a little late but happy holidays, I hope you enjoyed it and thanks for watching.487 subscribers
