Should this article link to individual brickfilms? I personally think that it's enough to link to directories rather than turn this into an brickfilm billboard. Jake Snicket 00:31, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

I found Brickmation on another user's webpage, and found that this page was actually used by the Lego article and template. If there's any vital information in the other article that can be used here, then the merge should occur. Otherwise, I would think of listing the other page for deletion. From what I can see, the only difference is that the other page is riddled with external links and information about "Brick Tableaux", or simple photography using scenes made with Legos as its subject.

Actually, all that appears to be at the other page is a bunch of external links. Brickfilm is much more thorough. Ryulong 06:50, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Oldest Brickfilm

I removed this paragraph from the article: The Oldest known example of a Brickfilm:

• Natural Born Legomen

Animated in 1995 by a 16 year old Matti Beramsingh it was a Legoman parody of the Oliver Stone Film Natural Born Killers. It was entered into the Bradford Young People's Film Festival where it won the prize for Innovative Filmmaking in October 1995.

Shot on a VHS-C with the stop motion feature built in to the GR-M7 Pro is ran for 11 minutes and the animation was 4 frames a second.

The oldest known Brickfilm was, in fact, made in the late 1980s called The Magic Portal. I've added a small section about it in place of Natural Born LEGOmen. --Hotwheels53 16:47, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Other types of brickfilms

You can make brickfilms on the Game Blockland. I can't remember the sites but just thought I'd let you know.Bobo10512 10:55, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Monty Python

I'm surprised that the Lego version of the Camelot song from Monty Python and the Holy Grail isn't mentioned at all. Anyone else think it's significant enough to add? --Fez2005 03:25, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, it probably should be added. Maybe Spite Your Face (they made the Monty Python clip) should have their own section. HotWheels(53) ^Talk

[edit] Contests

Nothing was mentioned about the contests that Brickfilms and Brickfest have hosted. I added a little somethin'.Mojestic Waffles 00:03, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Podcast

I believe something should be said about the Brickfilms podcast. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mojestic Waffles (talk • contribs) 00:07, 27 March 2007 (UTC).

I don't think it should be mentioned here, this article is/should be about the art of brickfilming, not necessarily about all the places and forms brickfilms are available in, IMO. Besides, it's already in the Brickfilms LLC article. HotWheels(53) ^Talk 14:13, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
