Geekery
Project Highlights
- One completed stop-motion flick with others in the works
- Featured in at least 3 gaming magazines
- Project Writer, Editor, Director, Creative Lead and Webmaster
The whole thing started out as a college video project. One of us wanted to do a lego movie, another one of us wanted to do a parody of Grand Theft Auto, and one of us wanted to ride through the streets of San Francisco on unicycles wearing pink leotards and silver capes (seriously). Well, after we threw out Billy's idea, we combined the other two and 6 weeks later GTA: Lego City was completed.
The project was incredibly fun, I’ve always been a huge fan of stop-motion flicks as well as an avid LEGO builder for many years. Now that GTA: Lego City is in the can and has found relative success on the web, there are more plans for future projects.
While making LEGO flicks might not seem a very fitting pursuit for a programmer, that’s the exact reason it is so entertaining -- it’s nothing like programming and thusly a great way to forget things when your abstract factory class refuses to make new object!
The Website is Created
After the college project was completed and our unveiling of the film received so well, I decided to create a small website to host it. A week later we had ourselves a new home, www.brickflick.com, where our Brick Flick was available for download.
As it turns out, hosting the video ourself was a terrible idea, and our sever was shut down in two days. We had used double our monthly bandwidth limit in that short time.
Currently we have the video hosted safely off-site, and behind the scenes more projects are brewing, with news updates always available on the Brick Flick site.
