My second brick film

[Brick_Fan_Tan]

Hi all

Please could somebody embed?

Please could I have some feedback on this one, I have already noticed the following areas for improvement

- One frame has a thumb

- One audio file is slightly out of time (note that I spend 2 hours editing due to my painfully slow laptop, and in the end settled on this version)

- Lack of bricks to make realistic sets

I like it, there is definedly progress I didn't even notice the thumb. The lighting is much better on this one, there is however a little reflection of some movement on the little guys desk, very minor detail! The stop motion is still good. Nice to see some experimentation with the background, I think you could probably find a picture that fits better though In this little scene I think it works very well that you made the view a little smaller, the more space you cover, the more stuff you have to put in there.

The focus is also much better this time, be careful not to bring the guy to close to the camera, I think the limit for good focus on your camera is somewhere around where the printer is, so just keep the action at that distance. I doesn't have to be any closer, I think it would be a very good distance, it sort of just looks nice within the frame there

Good work Mr Brick_Tan_Fan!

Thanks for the comments

I did take a few proof shots this time to work on some of the issues from the last video. I agree about the background not being quite right, I think its mostly due to the scale. I proof shot two other backgrounds which were both colour, but my set seemed to get a bit lost in them.

Focus looked ok on the camera (phone rather) but on the video it is clear that the figure gets too close for the camera to be able to deal with.

Might go for a kind of abstract video next time out.
