By yours truly, it's not very much, only about forty frames, but it's pretty awesome in my opinion, and I need some feedback.

Is it obvious I love legos?

I know it's inconsistent in various ways, I actually did this around three or so years ago, messing around. I was very bored that day. The bit where he pulls out the chainsaw is horrid, I know, using up three frames for something that does not have that many was a waste, and it looks really slow.

I have a few more I need to dig up, but, this is it for now.

Questions? Comments? Criticism?

Is there a way to make photobucket slide shows move a little faster? What you've got actually isn't bad at all. You use depth of field to show motion and action pretty nicely.

Thank you, but unfortunately, that's as fast as it goes, you can manually move forward a bit faster than it does normally, but constant clicking sounds might detract from what you're watching.

Did the whole slideshow seem consistent, first five times I had to change it a bit because it kept skipping back to the first picture.

This reminds me of a Legomation I made a while back, never got to finishing it though. Here it is (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRUzIyRPK4Q)

That is pretty awesome, although Darth Yoda? A few parts kind of wizzed by, but, that is going on my favorites.

Yeah, I was bored that weekend, and I thought Yoda looked pretty cool with Darth Vader's suit on.:smallredface:

It could be multiple yodas, stacked on top of each other. :smalltongue: They want in the big-people rides.

There is no "s" in Lego! RAAAAAAAAAAGE!
The proper form is "Lego pieces". One does not say "breads", one says "slices (or loaves) of bread". Same deal here.

The only bit of this that really bothers me is the ad that Photobucket decided to place next to the slideshow.
Its some weight-loss one that's also a slideshow, or, rather, the image changes and progresses to show how much weight this woman has lost.
Its so distracting >.<

Also, NC. Jeebus. Nitpick, much? :smalltongue:

I loathe the 'word' more than I did you back in my 'loathing you' heyday. Which is (was?) a lot, as I'm sure you remember.

Pretty cool stuff. Some very cinematic shots.

Hey, it was only a few weeks ago. 'Course I remember.
Just saying, you seem to swoop in on these things often.

Right, anyways, Pandaren, s'not bad. You might want to invest in some software, though.

Thank you all, and as for the title


I did that on purpose, it takes up less title space, and, if you say it a certain way, it sounds funner.

legoos....

Legooos....

Software? Alrighty, I'm gonna try movie maker for now as Szilard did, it works better than a slide show. I went on a picture spree yesterday and took almost 200 pics for my next short, which I hope is a little more smooth-running.

Sidenote: Breads. :smalltongue:

"First stop-motion short...of course it's Lego" is one character less then your current title, y'know.

How can you type that and not feel sickened by how wrong it is?!
...
Well, I mean, I suppose it could work if you are referring to different types of bread, as in wholemeal/sourdough/whatever else, but if you're talking slices/loaves it's hideous!
