[Brickfilm] Historical LEGO "film" shorts

[oo7]

Over the past couple days I've been piecing together some digitally composed shorts to display some of my various past creations that have had some significant historical background.

First came El Pueblo Bandolero, my first large scale diorama to be themed in accordance with the America Old West.

Next came The Battle of Lexington Green, a pair of vingettes based off the American Revolutionary War.

And for the third and final came my second and most recent Western themed diorama, the Wells, Fargo, & Company Overland Express and Assay Office.

Comments, criticisms, critiques, complains, compliments and questions welcome.

Oh, and expect a third large-scale Western diorama soon.

Excellent 007! I love the musical scores, esp the first one which is my personal favorite. El Paso by Marty Robbins is a great choice.

EDIT: although the Battle of New Orleans has been used before, it would have also been a great choice for the Battle of Lexington Green.

Sweet!

Good ear! Marty Robbins it is indeed, but half the praise should go to Keith Goldman for the idea. (For such an old idea, it's really great how useful it turned out to be)

Nah, that's not the right war! Plus, I really like the fife and drums throughout this particular piece, a piece whose mp3 format I hyperlinked when I posted the vignettes in their original topic. So that one's also an idea I've had for a while.

I think I'll add a poll to this topic here....

It wasn't that hard to recognize. I used the song in a WW video I made after purchasing the MOT collection (back in 2001). I think it works for your MOC better though. Check out this thread: Wild West Town & Train Video, .MPG with Sound. I'm a big fan of Marty Robbins and other cowboy ballads.

OK- I just like the song.

EDIT: Your El Pueblo MOC is really outstanding! I think of all the Wild West MOCs in the Lego community, this has to be one of my personal favorites, if not the best.
