A film made for the BRAWL (Brickfilm Rapidly All Week Long) competition. The goal was to create a video in just one week. With such a small time it's hard to make a really good film but it's the story which really counts.

I've only been at it for less than two weeks, but I'm enjoying it thus far.
This prototype is an incomplete yet playable swam boss fight with heavy inspiration from Devil Daggers (a truly excellent game). It's not much, but I wanted to show my friends my progress thus far.
Although it uses Unity's engine, all of the scripts and the simple AI were written entirely by myself and my brother.

This video only explains a few techniques for camera animation, but one can experiment and try all sorts of new things. There are even some people who have successfully animated shots by holding the camera in hand yet still managed to get it to look nice. So make sure to try new stuff!
Though I generally think that post-production camera movements are bad, there are a very small few cases where it actually can look okay. But only when done correctly. And it usually involves some fancy stuff like motion blur. In-shot is always best though. And still shots are usually better than post.
If you want to ask me how it is I build the dolly, I don't think I can help you much there. I don't really have a good way to explain it, but it should be clear enough from looking at it. If you'd like more picture of the dolly to try to build a similar one, look here: facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.497616223595058.105023.183860201637330&type=1&l=9feb0ce9f1

For those who don't know, THAC stands for Twenty-four Hour Animation Contest. It's a competition where all entrants must animate a brickfilm in one day, which is very challenging and yet remarkably fun. If you wish to enter, look for more details here: http://www.bricksinmotion.com/forums/topic/18082/thac-11-is-on-the-way
Last year I got 4th place with my film "The Lost Invention"
This year the contest starts on Saturday December 28th at noon GMT.
I think that my favourite bit is the warp jump.
Made for the Bricks in Motion Animation Challenge.
Music: Piraka Playground from Bionicle Heroes.
Camera: Nikon D3100
Frame rate: 15 FPS
Animation software: none
If you're wanting to use and of these methods yourself in brickfilms, I completely encourage it. :)
Someone told me that there were some camera movements that are impossible to do without digital assistance.
I accepted his challenge and animated this to prove that the movements in question could be done without resorting to post-production camera movement.
I asked what type of moment he had in mind, and he challenged me to animate slow movement and the bump like in this short:

Say no to post production camera movement!
I'd suggest to any brickfilmer to animate the movement instead of resorting to post. If you are too lazy, then just keep the camera still.

I'm sorry about a few bumps and some flickering. This IS a test. I'll do my best to make sure this doesn't happen in the film.
Please, enjoy. :)
