Of course we're going again!
Here's a little write-up I did on the BrickFilms forum, to indicate how we
enjoyed ourselves. Sorry if it focuses on our own little show and animation
too much.

We handed out 200 folders mentioning, among others, the sites
www.yellowhead.8m.com, www.brickfilms.com, links.brickz.net,
www.bricksinmotion.com and www.coolbrickmovies.com. So expect a slight
increase in visitors the next few days.
Highlights:
* Lots of AFOLs who were very enthusiastic and full of praise
* I've had a short chat with Tim Courtney (of Ldraw), who apparently takes
an interest in animation as well: he mentioned this wonderful camera
stand/pan/dolly device that was really steady and inter-locking, ideal for
animation.
* Lots of questions by kids and parents alike. Among the most occurring
were:
- Why doesn't your hand appear on the screen?
- Was that made with studios?
- That must take a lot of time!
- Is that a computer game you're playing?
* The feedback on our films! The Barber was an absolute hit: "look, mom,
it's a barber!". It's just wonderful to see these people laugh about the
jokes and enjoy them immensely. When seeing animation class (that's hard to
follow for Dutch people in a crowded hall), we often heard "Look! There's
Harry Potter!".
* They also had a large screen in quite a big hall (comparable with the
BrickFest one, if not bigger) where we were allowed to show the films once
in a while.
Anyway, we have enjoyed ourselves immensely, and we've seen lots of
beautiful craftswork by the other AFOLs. Especially the Italians did a great
job.

See you all next year! Especially the ones who weren't here! (Though we will
need yet another hall if you all bring your bricks).
Stefan (the animation guy).
