Lego Gladiator: Bloodbath trailer

[Duck]

Hi folks!

Just thought I'd show you something I've been worked on a little while ago and will probably be developing into a proper brickflick once I complete my current project. As the imaginative title cunningly suggests this is a gladiator movie. My original plan was that it would take place in a fantasy/more medieval setting, as when I filmed this a few months back the prospect of having Roman soldiers dotted around was non-existant! However, obviously we now do have Roman soldiers - huzzar!

So below is what I filmed a while ago as an experiment to see how gladiators would look in a brickflick and thought it was about time to show people!

Warning: Alongside Lego violence, the below video also contains a random swearword in the accompanying tune - you have been warned.

All feedback much appreciated!

Looks good so far can't wait to see more.

Brave shooting an animation with that large crowd in the background! Could probably use technic to make a mechanism that would alternately move the crowd up and down as you turned a wheel...actually, I think I'm gonna have to try that out sometime soon!

Yes I can see that its quite ambitious having a crowd, yet at the same time I've witnessed a lot of Gladiatoresque videos on youtube which either have no crowd or a tiny one - so I'm hoping having a large crowd in the background will help to set this apart from the rest slightly. A mechanism would indeed be a good idea - let me know if you ever come up with one! :)

Thanks for the feedback!
