amozza Posted January 31, 2010 Greetings! I just completed the first episode of my new brick film series City KREW. Since this is my first film, I would love to get constructive feedback on how it looks, especially since I've got a bunch more episodes planned out. www.citykrew.com The version on YouTube also has an HD option for better quality. Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy it. amozza Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sok117 Posted January 31, 2010 That was pretty good, I can't wait for the next episodes. What program did you use to put in the background? I'm trying to start a brickfilm but I kind of want to have some scenes in a forest like you did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inconspicuous Posted January 31, 2010 Awesome! I've never seen the incorporation of backgrounds like that before! It's not the most action-packed movie ever, but it has a decent plot and the animating is superb. I'm definitely looking forward to the next episodes. Great work!

Shooting the animations against a green screen made it pretty easy since there's a feature called Keylight that removes the screens so you can plug any background behind it. I just had to try and match the angle and scal of the animations to the backgrounds, which was quite tricky for some shots. Here's a more detailed description of the process I used: reelsurreal.blogspot.com/2009/12/piecing-it-all-together.html Awesome! I've never seen the incorporation of backgrounds like that before!

I'd originally planned it as a young kids series, since I have a 4 year old so wasn't sure how much action I was going to get in there. I'm planning a bit more for future episodes.
