Robinson WoodTravis and Cecil learn the difference between Fame and Glory in this action-drama.
Filmed 6/7/06 through 7/17/06 as an entry for the Fame, Infamy and Glory contest, Grace is my second big Brickfilm. It received first place out of 13 films.
It was my most difficult film to animate (thus far), and is one of my first attempts at using dialogue. I experimented further with camera movement, dramatic lighting, music composition, story telling, and title-card placement, so I'm pretty happy.
It was finished in a slightly rushed manner, due to the deadline, but I can't complain, as the deadline is also what motivated me to finish. Such is life.
A big thanks goes to my voice actors—you made this movie come alive.

I made this short film for a production class at West Valley community college.Terra NovaRobinson Wood2009-04-30 | A promo for Terra Nova!

It was voted third by the judges, and first by the entrants (though it was disqualified from the entrant's choice award due to my lack of ballot).
Actually, I had to work an 8 hour shift at my job that day, so I'm just glad I was able to finish (unlike last year).
Melodramedy was filmed in black and white and was exported from Final Cut Express without any filters or adjustments, to maintain maximum image sharpness.
It's sort of a drama parody, thus the title. It's supposed to be funny, so laugh if it is (or just to humor me).FrankensteinRobinson Wood2007-09-16 | "Your film should portray someone who is Heroic, or someone who is Villainous. You as a director must decide to tell a tale of virtue, or a story of evil."
My first "long" film, and hopefully not my last! Made over the course of two months, Frankenstein was a "villain" film made for the Heroes and Villains contest at Brickfilms.com, and was voted 1st out of 19 movies.
One of the most exciting things about making this movie was getting very strong reactions from a lot of different people of different ages. I was blown away by some of the positive and very kind reviews.
Because of the "villainous" subject material, however, there were also negative reactions, especially at the live showing. Josh described what happened:
". . . There were audible gasps during the knife part. As the film progressed, children became visibly upset, as did their parents . . ."
I'm saddened that some people didn't enjoy my film, but at the same time I'm very happy that my Lego animation was actually "scary," since it was supposed to be.
I'd like to thank Josh, for running Brickfilms.com, everyone that wrote articles and motivated me with useful information on the forums and everyone who reviewed the film. This place really is unique.
Turn out the lights, turn up the speakers, and enjoy!
