The Diary of Horace Wimp

[toonsmyth]

Best Lego animation EVER! Nice job!

[jmenomara]

@toonsmyth Thank you!

[TheConvicts]

Too cute.......

[lancastercityreds]

Brilliant....Nuff said!

[jmenomara]

@lancastercityreds THX

[fidel01ful]

this should be the official video, the song is great and the story much better.

ELO is great.

[hejafish]

@ 3:40.. Horace catches his missus in bed with another man!! Great video... love ELO!!!

[jmenomara]

@hejafish Ehm... it's their newborn child at obstetrics ward :-D

[hejafish]

@jmenomara Ha!! I knew it was the baby really!! Sorry Horace!! ;¬)

[HerrCompadre]

So he meets this girl for about a week and he marries her at the end of the week.

Yea that's normal. Great video though.

[jmenomara]

@HerrCompadre Thanks for your feedback! By the way, you can't take ELO's songs word for word. There, the stream of days is more of a symbol (at least as I see it).

[Gibraltariano]

@jmenomara Lololololol. Is it only the English that understand "metaphor?" This guy probably thinks the world was actually created in 7 days! Love the video - a la Adam & Joe Show from late 80's/early 90's in UK. If you're not familiar with it check this out - Their version of "Showgirls."

[jmenomara]

@Gibraltariano Wow, Adam & Joe Show is just MARVELLOUS!

[Gibraltariano]

@jmenomara Excellent. Have I broadened the horizons of a non Brit to great underrated British comedy?  Hope so, and hope you enjoy. I meant to attach a link to a clip of Showgirls, but You Tube wouldn't let me link to one of it's own videos!? Are you from UK?

[jmenomara]

@Gibraltariano I'm from Czech Republic (in the heart of Europe), but I love British sense of humour (especially "Monty Pythons"). I will watch Adam & Joe episodes as soon as I have some more free time ;-)

[HerrCompadre]

0:00 to 0:47 ..............Story of my life.

[cwanxton]

This is beautiful... brilliant.

[jmenomara]

@cwanxton Thanks!

[coystrill]

This shows how much can be accomplished through effort and imagination. It amazes me how Hollywood can spend $100 million on a movie nobody would watch(Green Lantern) when Internet artists can create more worthwhile projects in their spare time.

[jmenomara]

@coystrill

I wouldn't say all Hollywood-style productions are so bad. But you're right, we can see when any film was made with love (LOTR, Superman Returns...) or just with a vision of profit (G.L., almost all so called "romantic comedies" etc.). Thankfully, there are still indie productions (Once, films of Wes Anderson...)

Thank you very much for your feedback!

[geberlung69]

man how can there be any dislikes at all let alone 3!!!

[jmenomara]

@geberlung69 It's natural that not everybody does like things we do. Thank you for your interest, it's been noted ;-)

[darkonprime]

that's great! :)

[jmenomara]

@darkonprime You're great ;)

[krztian86]

GRAN VIDEO..ELO Y LEGO ES LA MEJOR COMBINACION POSIBLE..!!!

[jmenomara]

@krztian86

Gracias :-)

[mark0248]

[jmenomara]

@mark0248 Thank you very much!

[dakota2871]

[LaBrick1]

this vidoe was very motivating to me. i am well was a nerdy wimp, after watching this i wanted to change things for my self and hey now i got a girl friend!

[jmenomara]

@LaBrick1 I'm very glad my music video for ELO's song did find some use. Thank you very much for sharing your experience with me.

[MultiLuis0007]

@jmenomara same here i told my crush christopher ( i am a girl ) how i felt and now i am his girl friend!

[jmenomara]

@MultiLuis0007

Very very great! Sending my gratulations! Thank you for your feedback.

[MultiLuis0007]

@jmenomara thanks!

[IMAPROGAMER1]

u skipped saturday

[jmenomara]

@IMAPROGAMER1

Jeff Lynne skipped the saturday when he was writing the song. I suppose, it can be sung better without it.

[KissyEmcee]

LOL. So funny.

[KytarovatridaPetrJK]

konec hodně emotivní opravdu dobrý kam se hrabe rozprava na chodbě :-D

[jmenomara]

@KytarovatridaPetrJK

Tak Rozprava je přece jen poněkud starší :-D

[Cizza225]

what a lovely animation very emotional .

[Zoot101]

Are you ever going to make another brickfilm? This is one of my all-time favourites and I'd love to see more from you.

[jmenomara]

@Zoot101 This year, I want to make a trailer-like brickfilm and another music video (this time, inspired by the Kinks). Stay tuned ;-)

[keesret]

@Zoot101 I got to this via your twitter and I totally agree with you!

[CottrillChicken]

I love ELO!

[jmenomara]

@CottrillChicken

Me too. That's why I've chosen their song as a basis for my music video :-)

[CottrillChicken]

@jmenomara I saw it on Brickfilms, good job

[TikiChibi]

This is so cute he goes into the week sad but comes out as happy as ever.

[iknownothing34]

[jmenomara]

@iknownothing34 Thanks :-)

Lots of credit towards ELO!

[iknownothing34]

@jmenomara You're welcome. ELO is great!!! :)

[sdmitch16]

Quitting without getting another job first is unrealistic and risky.

[jmenomara]

@sdmitch16

That's why it is called animated FILM...

[tictacluvsff5]

This is so cute. Love it.

[Tofytwo]

Lego should buy this from you and air it as an add

This is the most emotional video ive ever seen. Words just escape my mouth. I

[Miayako]

This vid filled me with so much happy I cannot even say. Music was amazing, animation was amazing.

COME ON HORRAAANNNCEEE.

YOU CAN DOOO IIITTTT.

[jmenomara]

I'm glad to hear that. This ELO song is one of my most favourite and I tried to apply it's poetics to the image. Thanks for sharing your feelings!

[Miayako]

Yes! I had never heard the ELO song and I honestly thought the music had been made specifically for the vid until I saw what you had written.

It's inspiring, thank you so much for making it.

[jmenomara]

It was my pleasure.

[gustgriswold]

Cool

[TheBobafett101]

This was one of the best videos I have ever watch

[jmenomara]

Thanks. I'm glad I've finally made something more serious than Star Wars spoofs.

[MisterMulluc]

Great, love the idea here

[Zoot101]

This is one of my favourite brickfilms ever. I love it.

[jmenomara]

That's great :)

[clarka0012]

[jmenomara]

Well, Jeff Lynne and friends ;)

[strudelkittie4427]

2 words cool vid

[dakooldog]

I like the baby idea. Good job!

[jmenomara]

The baby idea isn't of my origin. I've seen it somewhere else...

[MADABOUTLEGO]

Top Job!!!!

One of the best I have seen yet!

Glad to know people still like ELO thought I was one of the Last!

Well Done.

[jmenomara]

Thanks! I don't know anybody of my generation near me who's heard about ELO. But there must be anyone ;-)

[LegoLeader004]

[jmenomara]

With a little help of afterFX trial ;-)

[strudelkittie4427]

[Alaskanlegoking]

[0n3Vva]

[legomanarthur]

[ManVanMation]

Not only was this mind-blowingly great, but you've totally gotten me hooked on ELO.

[jmenomara]

That's great! :-D

[BrickMasher]

[rockethero101]

That is awesome!

[KinzCove]

[guitarmaniac525]

So you're into ELO too, huh?

[Storgero]

This is just brilliant! You've done a great job! =D

[MPfist0]

[DJMation]

This is just brilliant.

I love it. :-)

[ZachMG]

Superb.

[jmenomara]

Thanks all for their both late and upcoming feedback!

[vnanimation]

That was a beautiful mixture of CGI with stopmotion, fantastic. :)

[jmenomara]

The CGI in some shots isn't as good as I intended, but thanks :-)

[monsieurbane]

Wow! wirklich super Brickfilm! Respekt! :D

[darkman13forever]

Wauw, that was really good.

keep making original films like that man.

[jd160592]

Stunning! Great work, man!

[Sticksan]

Holy Shh-ower That's Awesome well done . I'm a big fan of ELO

[jmenomara]

I think just the animation can match ELO's great music. I don't like their official music videos with live actors ;-)

[Rsteenoven]

Wow :D
