Fantastic work-really adds to the song, making it more of a dark humor piece. Fans of music are great. zYou've shown that really creative fans of music are even better!
the only small complaint would be the small bits where there's no movement for awhile, that's the only hint that's it's not official/professionally done. but that's being nitpicky. absolutely brilliant. the scenes were crafted so great. amazing !! :D
clearly you've never heard a song before because all songs repeat, which is probably why the video is a little "repetitive" everyones a flippin critic. get over yourself.
yeah, i agree. the ending could have been a little more inventive. it got a little repetitive. and their inside a whale in the middle of the ocean. but other than that, it was good. stop animation can be a bitch. especially when your legos stick tightly.
That was a great video. But, I must say, the ending of this song is a little disappointing. I kept expecting some sort of surprise. It was just so obvious.
The singer's voice kinda grates on me, but I was a crabber in the Bering Strait for years.. I've rode through swells that would make you shit your pants, I love sea songs. This one's fucking great. The sea's definitely a different life than the one on land. Anyway, cheers for the video.. it's pretty hilarious.
Ah, and herein we have a problem that can be solved purely with an album inlay and an eye for an apostrophe! If it says 'our ship's sole survivors' then it's one ship, if it says 'our ships' sole survivors' then it's two. I only have it in digital form, so I have no inlay. Can you solve this problem? Though it could still be a mis-print, or that Meloy doesn't know the finer points of punctuation...
p.s. I'm pretty sure he IS telling the story to the captain from inside the whale.
Brilliant. One of the best I've seen on this here tube. One minor criticism: when Meloy sings 'your starboard flank abeam,' I don't think he means another ship, as you show in your video. Afterall, there is no previous mention of another ship, and I'm not sure what purpose it would serve for the narrative. Rather, he is talking of one of two possible things. First, he could be talking of the whale, and second, as I suspect, he's talking of the captain, anticipating a musket cleaning 'accident'.
A truly impressive movie considering the difficulty of conveying emotion and subtle movement with LEGOs.
While there are few places I might've done things differently, I must stress differently; you've done an excellent job and I've no room to give you pause about the skill of your work.
Two of my favorite thing in one! Legos and The Decemberist! Thanks for sharing!

I would go with two ships, as it indicates in the song that he goes to sea with a privateer and spends twenty months searching.
If it was one ship, and it took twenty months for him to find the captain on it, he probably shouldn't have been tasked with avenging anything.
