I have read it, yes. So far, I'm not impressed.

I've been hanging around at BrickFilms for a while, and I'm very impressed with
the stop-motion results so far. So far, I have not seen any virtual film come
close to them. But my vision lives on. Even with better animation scripts,
virtual film may still seem more life-less and robotic, but if I even reach my
goal, the great advantage will be *much* less work to make the same scene. And
let's say you like the scene you made in stop-motion, but realize that if would
be much cooler to let the camera move another way. Well, just start from
scratch! With a LDA script saved, just change the camera commands and re-compile
the whole thing. No sweat at all.
So I still hold on to my dream of making it the virtual way.

Yes you did. And I suppose you're right.
