Brick A Brack

This term "Brick Flicks" is a heresy. It is the result of an unfortunate fate that is now happily coming to an end after 15 long years. On September 17, 2022, the international brickfilm community "Brick-a-Brack" officially announced the change of ownership of the website Brickfilms.com and the trademark "Brickfilms". In appreciation for the fantastic work of Eurobricks for the AFOL community (and long time partner of our community). We officially authorize the replacement of the word Brick Flicks by the word "Brickfilms". If @Darkdragon is still responsible for this section. I invite her to make this change with great pleasure as soon as she can and in case of doubt to contact us on our site. PS; And with a few days delay. Happy Birthday Darkdragon!

In addition to this high quality event, on June 15th and 16th is held the largest brickfilm festival in the USA. For brickfilmers who want to present their best creations, all the information is available here https://www.brick-a-brack.com/articles/article/922/ and here https://brickworld.com/brickfilm-festival/. Good luck to all participants!

Brickfilm enthusiasts from all over the United States met at the Brickfilm Festival organized by David Pickett aka Brick101. Many brickfilms submitted their participation and the public voted for the best of them. Brickworld Chicago 2018 was an incredible success, bringing together Lego fans from across the United States - and the world - together for an incredible five-day event. We reported on the announcement of the Brickworld Film Festival earlier in the year and awaited to hear the results. Brick à Brack moderator Chris (@chris_gbp) was there at Brickworld to report on the festival itself. With twenty-three entries playing and countless attendees viewing the films throughout the convention, the festival culminated on Saturday evening with an hour's worth of public viewing and an audience vote.Two award categories - one for the Best Film from the convention attendees and one for the Best Film from the international brickfilm community - were presented at the festival. Twenty films were entered into the running and were enjoyed by the audience. After each film was screened in a private hall within the convention center, ballots were passed out and the audience voted on their favorite films."We had a great film festival at Brickworld Chicago this year," film festival coordinator David Pickett commented. "We're really happy to be one of the longest-running brickfilm festivals in North America and that we are able to share the art form with the AFOL community and the public."Without further ado, the winners of the Brickworld Film Festival are ...Best Film - Attendee: 1st Place - Isolation by Tyler Eyerly Best Film - International: 1st Place - Chirrut vs. Everything by Kevin Ulrick - @Brotherhood Workshop 2nd Place - The Winterlympic Games by Christof Munoz - @thistof 3rd Place - My Unluckyish Life- Episode 5: The Slippery Slope by Trevor Stevens - @SuitedNinjaNerd Productions This was the seventh year of the Brickworld Film Festival - with two years of international entries - and the event will continue again next year. Congratulations to all of the winners! Be sure to check out their entries and support these fantastic animators. As next year's Brickworld Chicago rolls around, consider submitting one of your brickfilms for the festival - and possibly even attending next year's convention! discover our old articles HERE

Good morning to you all. If several of you read this text diagonally, I'll be direct. YES, there is an test of MOC . With the agreement of the Eurobricks staff, We are here to announce a new competition in the AFOL universe. It is soberly entitled Summercontest2018. Every Monday morning, we will come to announce you a new event and you will generally have one week to participate. For each event, the 3 winners arriving at the top of the ranking will leave with magnificent prizes provided by our partners such as BrickWarriors, Brickstuff and of course LEGO. At each event, participants will obtain ranking points. These points will be added to each new round and then added to the general classification of the competition. It is not necessary to participate in all events, but the members of the podium who have accumulated the most points during the different events will receive an exclusive badge on their BàB profile as well as other surprises. As we are super nice, we give you the list of the tests in advance, just to put you in condition and to allow you to set your evenings between friends Week #1 : Script Contest (July 2 to July 8) Week #2 : Adaptation Contest (July 9 to July 14) Week #3 : Set design contest (July 16 to July 22) Week #4 : Animation Contest (July 23 to July 29) Week #5 : Soundtrack Contest (July 30 to August 5) Week #6 : Animation Contest (August 5 to August 12) Week #7 : Storyboard Contest (August 13 to August 19) Week #8 : Brickfilm contest (August 20 to September 2) We have arranged to insert a non brickfilmic proof and a brickfilmic proof each time, in order to avoid you the overdose! We hope you like this concept and that many of you will participate! We know that the brickfilm certainly rejects it, that's why, some tests are created to allow to participate without having any knowledge in the animation of a brickfilm. Writing a script, building a set... are easily achievable for an amateur MOCer. It is not necessary to have been a member of Brick-à-Brack to participate. The contest is open to all for all events you choose to participate. As you can imagine, a contest per week for two months is going to be complicated to manage for its staff, even if a lot of things have been prepared in advance we will have to judge the entries and it might take time, so if you don't want to participate in an event, that you are curious to discover the brickfilm, you want to offer us a helping hand to become a member of the jury. Of course, if you get on the jury, you become ineligible for the test you are marking. You can't be everywhere at once! Sorry: Send us a small MP if you feel like it. See you on July 2, 2018 for the announcement of the first event! May fate be favourable to you! We are at your disposal to answer your questions on this topic. find our old contests here

The created universe of SW is so vast, ideas are not about to stop.

I'm totally a fan of this.

Totaly agree with it.

Probably a little more work to perfect the model. But all my respect for that feat.

Very realistic. Good job!
