Antipode Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Hahaha this was amazing! Thanks for sharing your work with us. Quote
kitty Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 That was awesome. Everything flowed really well to the point where really difficult things to pull off like the axe swinging through the air didn't seem unnatural to me. Quote
Aninymouse Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Nice work! All the little details like the sound effects and lighting were really indicative of the level of care that went into the project. The voice acting, too, was exceptional. Hope to see more from you in the future. Quote
anthonium Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 How exactly do you achieve things like the axe spinning in the air or an item falling in stop motion anyway? I'm completely clueless in this area. Quote
Darth Lime Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 Amazing. "The cat ends up as a slavic stew". Great humor and storyline. Quote
stamper Posted March 30, 2008 Author Posted March 30, 2008 About the spinning axe : I really launched it and followed it with my camera. lol In fact, I was holding the axe myself in the right direction for each position, fingers off screen. I added motion blur in post-production... That was pretty easy to do. In fact, "noticeable shots" were mostly done quickly and easily, while some "regular shots" were sometimes horribly long to create. Quote
Broken Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Very well done. Bien fait! Excellent camera work and voice acting. Quote
stamper Posted March 30, 2008 Author Posted March 30, 2008 tobmaps, "Clara Sterling" is of course a reference to Thomas harris' Hannibal. I was surprised nobody noticed it before ! Die hard fans will also notice some references to Ridley Scott's movie Hannibal, especially the "Henri's face/off" shot. I'd say Clara has a superficial resemblance to Julianne Moore, but this is only my opinion. Vladimir's line "Me would like you be main course" was written on Lecter's "I'm giving very serious thoughts to eating your wife". Quote
Jarvi Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 ah, I never did get the chance to watch Hannibal. Clara just really reminded me of the Clarice from the old Silence of the Lambs movie, particularly in this Wikipedia image of Jodie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarice_Starling).Glad to know I wasn't imagining things, though! You do realize that Silence of the Lambs is one of the Hannibal novels/movies right? Anyways, great film, I love how it's so fluid that it doesn't seem like legos, it seems life like (movement wise and considering they are legos of course.) EDIT: I reread what both of you had said about Hannibal so just ignore me, I didn't even pay attention to the fact that you were both naming specific actresses. Quote
Chiwalker Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 Very good filming and detail. I loved the cars moving in back/foreground, and the legos walking (and turning around at 2:33 ), the lego gun SFX, not to mention a funny storyline. Nice work! Quote
stamper Posted October 10, 2008 Author Posted October 10, 2008 Thanks for all your comments. I just wanted to say that the movie won an audience award at the Ose ce Court french film festival in Bischheim near Strasburg ! Next step : the festival "7 days for the 7th art" in Colmar, France. The movie will be screened on wednesday october 15th at 8pm. And last but not least : the International Short Film Festival in Uppsal, Sweden ! The movie will be screened 2 times on october 24th and 25th ! I hope to see some ocremixers there ! Maxime Quote
Ninja-san Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Noooo Kitty! Awesome job. The flow and story was very nice Quote
Darklink42 Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 That was amazing. How long did it take you over all to make it? I did a series of short scenes once out of Homer's "The Odyssey" using Legos in stop-motion and it wasn't nearly that nice. Hope to see more from you. Quote

Maxime Excellent! This movie was really outstanding. Great script, great voices, and great music. Hope to lots MOAR in the future! You gotta make a sequel or something! Quote
Zephyr Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 Nice! That was great, that looked way smoother than a lot of CGI I've seen, you can go somewhere with this, nice quirky plot too, I loved the little lines thrown in there ("Does the FBI often leave bodies like that?") How long did this take you? Quote
stamper Posted October 13, 2008 Author Posted October 13, 2008 It took me about 4 months to get everything right. I am really glad to see that many people appreciate this short. I'm planning to do a "sequel" (not really a sequel, but a new adventure for Henri & Edmond), which will be bigger, but I really need money and time to do such a thing ! And of course, as I'm a great fan of ocremix.org, I will probably come back here to ask OCremixers to write some songs or remixes for the next episode ! Quote
