In celebration of the 100th film listed in our movie directory, Brickfilms
is holding a movie contest to promote the art of brick animation and foster
a friendly environment to push the envelope in LEGO stop motion animation.
The general theme of this contest relates to pieces of "classical" music.
All entries should be centered around a piece of classical music, which I
will define as anything written for an orchestra, quartet, or similar
arrangement. This can be anything from a very old J.S. Bach piece to a more
modern piece by Aaron Copland. No electric guitars, jazz, rock, rap, or
musicals please. It will be the judgment of the Brickfilms staff as to
whether your piece is acceptable (if you think it's classical, it probably
is, so don't worry). Ideally this will free up copyright issues on the
films as well. There are a few rules to make everything fair to the
contestants.
==========================================
The Rules:
* One submission per director / creator.
* The finished movie should be between 2 and 5 minutes in length.
* No dialog. Singing, as in an opera, is acceptable.
* Nothing currently listed in the Brickfilms directory is eligible.
* The musical piece does not have to be complete, but should be the
dominating soundtrack of the film. Other special sound effects are
perfectly fine.
* Entries should not have the word "LEGO" or "LEGOs" in the title. Also,
please do not use the symbol or trademarks of The LEGO Company (i.e. a LEGO
sign or a clearly visible close-up of the word LEGO on the top of the studs)
in the film.
* Deadline for submissions will be September 15th, 2001.
* These rules are subject to be modified as needed
============================================
The Prizes:
There will be a total of three prizes, assuming there are 4 or more entries.
Judging will be done by a combination of a popular vote and the decision of
the Brickfilms staff (to prevent vote stacking).
Best Cinematography:
Defined as best "camera-work", including inventive angles or use of camera.
First pick of a small LEGO set, to be announced.
Best Animation:
Defined as best movement, choreography, or visual style in on screen
performance.
Second pick of a small LEGO set, to be announced.
Best Picture:
Defined as the best overall picture.
A large LEGO set, to be announced.
So submit, go to http://www.brickfilms.com

| (...) ASCAP and the recording industry may disagree. Recorded performances of Classical Music are subject to copyrights. Permission to use the recording may need to be granted.

| This is a groovy idea. I actually thought of the same thing a few months ago; a challange to put the same piece of classical music to film and see what people come up with. Of course I have yet to come up with anything worth showing yet, so who am I (...) (23 years ago, 1-Aug-01, to lugnet.animation, lugnet.general)

| Does the movie have to match the theme of the music? For example, I was considering doing 1812 overture, but I don't have enough old figs and parts to do anything "classical," especially warfare for that. -- Chef/Dan/Bubba Bear ICQ:84584424 AIM: (...)

| Hi there, I'd like a clarification of the rules. Does no dialogue mean just spoken, or can I make a film that uses place cards. I'm thinking of something that would mimic a silent film. Also, If someone's looking to make there own music, there is a (...) (23 years ago, 3-Aug-01, to lugnet.animation, lugnet.general)

Check out my favorite classical music site: (URL) a really nice site, and for you wimpy "care-about-the-well...t-holders" types (8?P), they have most (...)
