I don't have a set date. I did in the past, but you know how that goes...

I work on it as much as time allows.

[spoclogik]

I originally took the ceiling out every time I animated - and that was ridiculous.

I recently took a tip from 'gigerbrick' and now I shoot a single frame of the scene as a background plate and than I animate the scene.

The only time consuming part now is that I rotoscope any objects that are being animated.

This process as a whole, saves my butt if I happen to bump the set or if I have noticable light flicker.

Hi bastetta,

It's been over 3 years now that I've been chipping away at it. Thanks for the comment!

[gigerbrick]

The project is looking great man! I go through the exact same process on all my lego movies. Creating a focused mat shot from the background and cutting it into the final image. Very tedious. Can't wait to see more!

[spoclogik]

Thanks guys - it's super tedious, but I'm loving the results!

where do you get the lights?

[JSAirways]

so how long is this film going to be? If you've been working on it for 3 years, I expect it might go over 6 minutes?

[ironhide68]

when is this coming out again?

[vnanimation]

How did you animate with a ceiling? I'd imagine quite a few bumps, but you've seen to pull it off great.

[bastetta]

Oh yes, I remember you announcing this for the first time on brickfilms com.

How long have you been working on this ever since? Can't wait for it.

[vnanimation]

Is this new(er) animation? I'm terribly sorry for asking this, but would you have any idea when this film would be released? I'm just going crazy. :P
