Viva La Revolución - A Tale of Two Cities School Project

[Forestboy]

So while I didn't build pretty much at all over the school year, I did make my first, full stopmotion-animation movie with two other classmates. The assignment given in English class was to make a movie that was 10+ minutes long that incorporated 5 or more events from Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities (along with a whole lot of other criteria. The only thing is, our movie was down in Lego, of course!

When I started the project with just one of my friends (since we had to do it in groups) I was very adamant that we would only need 2 people because it's hard for 4+ people who don't know a thing about Lego or stop-motion animation to help you complete a 10+ minute feature in less than a month. Despite my protests, we added another classmate to the crew, but I pretty much ended up doing...75% of the work. Mostly because I'm a bit of a control freak and self declared director-producer-animator-set designer-etc. With over 75 hours of just filming and at least 120+ hours total, including pre-production (writing the script, recording the voices, building the sets), production (animating), and post (editing, exporting), this was one heck of a movie that I pulled an all-nighter for the day before. So without further ado, I present Viva La Revolución: LINK!

Enjoy!

EDIT: Also, I'll just let you know that the last scene is pretty boring because we ran out of time for that scene, and the fourth scene is pretty awkward. But otherwise, enjoy!

Not bad! The stop animation was pretty smooth. You can tell that you put a lot of work into it.

The stop-motion was excellent. I enjoyed the scripts too. The commercials were a nice touch, and I liked the execution scene. Nice work!
