[NFfilmz]

@spugesdu Are you watching the entries as you edit the results or you already heavy your choice?

[spugesdu]

@NFfilmz I spent several hours watching every entry and sorting them into playlists based on their strengths. Then I chose my top three for each category and sorted them into 1st-3rd. I then got some secondary opinions to see if they agreed with my decisions. I'll be starting work on the results video on monday afternoon. Don't panic. :P

[NFfilmz]

@spugesdu YAY :P

[flame2wolf]

when will the results be released?

[tacosalad1127]

@spugesdu Do you know when you will be finished with the results video?

[darkrie7]

Hey Gareth. I was really stoked to enter, but around the time I started filming, I was hospitalized for extreme neck muscle spasms. This was on memorial day. I just got out of the hospital about 4 days ago, and have been in no condition to film until now. Is it possible for me to get an exception? I completely understand if your answer is no, seeing as I have no proof ;) Thought I'd give it a shot though. Thanks! -Darkrie7 (Tuka Trent)

[spugesdu]

@darkrie7 Far, far too late now. I've already started work on the results video. My next contest will start December 1st though, so you can enter that one. :)

[darkrie7]

@spugesdu Alright, thank you for replying though :)

[911Legomaster]

[LegoDude889]

[ishibaba1]

Bravo!

[jlittlerify]

What a great contest! May the best brick filmer win!

[LegoDude889]

i uploaded mine before midnight most of the world time am i still in?

[BioStrakk110]

@LegoDude889 I just contacted spugesdu because when I went to upload my video, I looked at this one and I was like WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!I looked at his bulletin and he had closed the contest 5 minutes earlier!So i just uploaded mine. PLEASE SPUGESDU!!!!LET MY VIDEO BE A VIDEO RESPONSE!!!!!

[911Legomaster]

It wont let me add a video reponse!!!!

[chatolego2]

wooohooo i think i will win

[tacosalad1127]

@chatolego2 Not to be mean, but your video is not that great compared to a lot of other people. Your video was kinda blurry and many other people have good animation and great sound affects. I'm not saying your video is bad, beacuse it is actually OK. But someone else is probably gonna win, so don't get your hopes up.

[isaacmiller1993]

I pulled an all-niter filming so that I could enter :)

[dolfinnian]

how do i respond to this

[legobot4000]

SORRY I ENTERED AN OLD VIDEO BY MISTAKE SORRY MAN :( COULD U DELETE IT PLZ THNX

[1980bwinter]

May the best director win!

[WillTheAnim8r]

I won't be able to enter because my movie ended up in a disiaster.

[LegoSofaStudios]

Just uploaded mine. Good luck to everybody else in the contest!

[xxXDennoXxx]

Mine's just uploading now!

[cambugs99]

i will try to make an epic one.

[3077BIODROID]

hey, I wont be able to enter this contest. Do you have any idea maybe when is your next contest?

[spugesdu]

@3077BIODROID December 1st! 

[JFS1505]

@spugesdu Yayz!!!

[LegoSofaStudios]

Hopefully I'll get my entry in on time. Animating at 18 FPS is very time consuming -.-"

[jimnbobproductions]

Ah, Doctor Who reference. I see what you did thar.

[rex00991]

ok am i blind or is my video in the contest because i realy want to enter but i cant see it there can someone tell me if it is

[rex00991]

[spugesdu]

@Ahsagot5212 Yes, it's worldwide!

[Ahsagot5212]

Oh damnit i think I have to hurry up!

By the way.. Is this worldwide?

[BioStrakk110]

@Ahsagot5212 I know!! I just spent like 2 and a half hours today just taking picturesfor my movie. Man,why does this take so long?!?!

[rex00991]

can u look because i have posted my entry but its not showing up

[HALO3091]

@spugesdu U REMOVED TABARNACK97's VIDEO? WHY

[spugesdu]

@HALO3091 He removed it himself. Nothing to do with me.

[HALO3091]

@spugesdu And my video is also deleted?

[spugesdu]

@HALO3091 You removed your entry aswell.

[spugesdu]

Give me time to approve entries guys, I watch all of them before accepting them!

[ultislasher1]

@spugesdu just curios, will you give us noobs at animating a chance, and not pick the winners from the highly experienced ones..? (pizza movies, fancy pants, etc)

Thanks! =)

[spugesdu]

@ultislasher1 Of course! ;)

[ultislasher1]

@spugesdu first of all, that was a fast response, and second, thanks! =D

[ultislasher1]

@spugesdu is there a time restriction? I think mine is going to be sorta long, and if you're not going to watch the whole thing... (end is the best...)

[drwhofan130]

hi have you got my entry yet i have posted as a video response to this video but it is not showing up

[xAndrewxFilmsxx14]

can we curse

[Derek3020]

Can we do any kind of lego vid because I would like to do a Doctor Who one?

[spugesdu]

@Derek3020 Of course!

[Derek3020]

@spugesdu Awesome. Thanks! :^)

[1065chris]

too v my vid was diswolifide oh well

[rex00991]

I'm going to redo my film to make it smoother if ya no what I mean

[L1LegoAnimations]

In the video you said third party like clone army customs are allowed, but does that rule qualify for mega bloks too?

[xAndrewxFilmsxx14]

is there a time limit?

[TheTRTproductions]

umm where do we send the entries to?

[spugesdu]

@TheTRTproductions Post your entry as a video response to this video.

[rex00991]

Lots of people say there not going to win like me but u never know

[legobot4000]

hey man please answer this - i really want to enter, but i cant give my address away for the prizes. is it possible, if i win, to change the prizes to 3 subs or 4 subs for me instead of the minifigs or brickarms?

[odoma354]

hey can i still enter

[spugesdu]

@odoma354 Sure, the deadline isn't until September 15th.

[thecoolest1120]

thats the song

[thecoolest1120]

Love as a Construct

[dumbbros]

Hey do you have to aprove the video before it shows up in responses? Because mine didn't show up.

[TheSongoku152]

this is bitched the vid is crapy and why mini gun for 3rd and not part of first

[WhovianStudios]

I really gotta do this!

[LegoStarMovies]

Could the entry possibly be an interactive adventure if I just entered the starting video?

Just a thought. :)

[BrinkSquare]

Is it possible to extend the deadline just a bit?

[spugesdu]

@BrinkSquare It's already been extended 2 weeks, I'm not sure many people would be happy if they had to wait much longer!

[LordBarrick]

Gareth, I keep posting my film as a video response to your contest. But it doesn't show up. Any help would be appreciated :)

[Superbokje]

I entered!

[BenHaddersGame]

Hey i got one thing to ask

1.is theere a limit to how long the stopmotion entry is?

[PencilThinStacheLTD]

what if i used some megablox for the set though?

[PencilThinStacheLTD]

Do we have to have the 'Made for spugesdu and The Fourth Great & Bountiful LEGO Stop Motion Contest 2011' at the very beginning of the video for at least 3 seconds or can we just put it in the description

[TheLangers500]

Thanks for the extended deadline I go on vacation next week and thought I wouldnt finish in time due to family outings and stuff. Now I will be able to!!

[amlegobee]

I would like to replace my entry with another. Also I took care of removing my previous entry be deleting the video.

[LEGOSTARWARSCRAZY1]

woo! done with the shooting now on to editing!

[ImaginationsTheLimit]

@spugesdu I live in Australia, if I won, would I still get the prizes??

[spugesdu]

@ImaginationsTheLimit Yes, it's a global competition.

[chatolego2]

@spugesdu i live in mexico if i won i still get the prizes

[spugesdu]

@chatolego2 Yes, it's a global competition.

[amlegobee]

If we want to replace our entry would it be recommended to remove or current entry after we made the new entry to replace it OR remove it anytime and eventually replace it.

[3077BIODROID]

Thanks again for the extended deadline

[3077BIODROID]

Please Read. Am I allowed to use non-lego objects for my set only? I have enough legos but not a surplus amount to build large sets, and my movie may demand those scenes. Otherwise, everything else is lego

[MadLibs007]

Thanks a ton for extending the deadline! Although I already have the first scene of my entry filmed, I can use all the time I can get to polish off any editing.

[dumie435]

5 dislikes? 2 from michael mgf and legoboy because they are jelous that other people are making contests

3 other dislikes from people doesnt know what awesome means

[hansoloproductions]

hey! important question is this the portal 2 backround music. it sure sounds like it

[amlegobee]

For some reason the music reminds of the ending of Portal 2, though this is a possibly a separate piece of soundtrack.

[3LocoMonkeys]

Mine's up! Good Luck Everyone!

[Jarjarvideos]

do I have to remove the first video response or do you cause I put the editted one on, oh and for some reason on youtube it says that the editted one is 2:01 but on my comp. it says that it's 2:00, I hope the one second doesn't matter! ;)

[h1mandh1m]

made mne i doubt itll win but oh well i tried.

[3LocoMonkeys]

Sweet! I can't wait to get started!

[larsyuipo]

I entered

[3LocoMonkeys]

Am I allowed to use my own customs?

[EpicAnim8tor]

@3LocoMonkeys Of course!

[h1mandh1m]

I make my videos with an ipod so they are kind of skinny will you still acept.

[electricanimations1]

@h1mandh1m if you put it sideways it wont be skinny

[h1mandh1m]

@electricanimations1 thanks for the advice i didnt know that but the app i use cant be turned sideways so if i made the video sideways the whole thing would be sideways. but still thansk for responding

[Jarjarvideos]

is there three winners for each cattagory?

[hunterkiller1440]

So gonna enter! My animation is trash, but I'll try my best

[LEGOSTARWARSCRAZY1]

i'm working on my set right now! but i say the deadline should be extended by a month

[camerakid101]

Totally Gonna try and enter!

[ParanahBoy]

I've got an idea for a video and that idea is LEGO

[aCeboyProductions]

Or you read the book.

[aCeboyProductions]

I know you're British sir, so I'm guessing you watched Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and based the theme on the front words: Don't Panic.

[ressu24]

I'm gonna curse myself if I now won't make it into the top 3. I got a really good HD camera, good editing software and I actually know how to use them, good vfx and soundfx, and also decent animating skills. Just painted some Brickarms guns to look even better, I can't be at the bottom, really! =D

[3077BIODROID]

I would like to enter, is there anything specific I have to do?. Oh and ignore the question Live Video, I forgot it was in the rules.

[3077BIODROID]

I know it says no megablocks, but I have a Pro Builder A-10 Thunderbolt I might use.  I think its not a Megablocks, because its regular lego pieces. Can I use it?

Can there also be some live video?

[shortfusestudios]

I have no chance of winning. But I entered anyway.

[ghartsho]

I would enter, but I don't have the time, really.

[3077BIODROID]

whats CGI? I feel that I should know what it means

[spugesdu]

@3077BIODROID I believe it stands for 'computer generated imagery'.

[shadowrex03]

Can we use our own customs??

[spugesdu]

@shadowrex03 Yeah, sure.

[ressu24]

I actually might make a comeback from my last animation made in 2009 and just enter.. with an awesome WW2 piece =)

[MrSmas101]

Thumbs up for the awesome prizes

[HALO3091]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAY squad42 is EPIC

[sharkboy1107]

wait so the prizes are for one category so not for other ones

[EpicLegoFilmer]

Hmm the thumbnail says epic lego contest, and seeing how my name is epiclegofilmer I say I've got this one in the bag hahaha jk

[Doodleflop789]

is the music a remix of Portal 2 turret opera? because it kinda sounds like it in the background

[drsamtam74]

Is it acceptable for me to take a book/radio show

and remake part of it as lego? Please respond

[tankplane45]

I bet the video with the most special effects will win!

[stickmanproductions6]

@tankplane45

I doubt it, Your animation and your must be good, else you can have all the effects in the world, it will still suck

[tankplane45]

@stickmanproductions6 Thats good, because I don't have CGI.

[thejackhamer101]

does there have to be appropriate language in said contest entry

[spugesdu]

@thejackhamer101 It can be as fowl as you think is appropriate. lol

[stickmanproductions6]

If I have a ship battle in my movie, with a lot of ships, May I use footage recorded from a game like Napoleon Total war, as long as there's no annoying health boxes and such on the screen and there's more then 50% lego stop motion??

[spugesdu]

@stickmanproductions6 I'd rather you didn't. You wouldn't get any marks for footage recorded from a game anyway.

[stickmanproductions6]

@spugesdu yeah, not trying to win effects prices with it but it's rather hard to make a movie about the royal navy without any lego ships :( I have another way but it doesn't look as good

Guess I have to do it that way, but thanks for answering, I really apperciate that

[MsDANNY33]

i think i could do it, i'll try....

[commanderTiger900]

"The film MUST be made with at least 50% stop motion animation,"

Legoboy12345678 and JJeffects66 are automaticly disqualified :D

[spugesdu]

@commanderTiger900 JJEffects66 is banned from entering anyway lol.

[HALO3091]

@spugesdu Why?

[spugesdu]

@HALO3091 Because he's a nasty person with questionable morals. 

[HALO3091]

@spugesdu What did he do???

[spugesdu]

@HALO3091 I'm not going into it again.

[HALO3091]

@spugesdu ok sry dude BTW I <3 SQUAD 42  :D

[LegoMental]

What font were you using?

[toysrmine37]

Q: I was thinking of having the minifigs and one or two non-lego items interacting with a person trying to make the movie, kinda like looking at "the 4th wall" a little bit. would this be allowed?

[spugesdu]

@toysrmine37 A: Yeah, that sounds like fun.

[LegoStarWarsMocs]

yay gonna start soon maybe. ~#FTW

[bwjclego]

Portal Music FTW!!

[xxXDennoXxx]

I wonder if anyone else apart from me will actually do this about the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...

[stonebreakers10]

i have an idea its a lego video except i would use a character thats not lego in the video, everyone else is lego though, is that still allowed?

[spugesdu]

@stonebreakers10 Hmm...yeah, as long as it's just one and it's not too dissimilar I guess that'd be fine.

[dumie435]

OMG people before u ask spugesdu any questions read the damn instructions CAREFULLY!!! Unless all u want is spugesdu to reply to ur comment. In that case, if u want him to reply, then don't write anything stupid!!!
