Protector of the REEF

Our THIRD Lego film completed!

Aquaman does MORE then just busting baddies! He is the protector of the reef!

We are fans, as other fans may have noticed that we used the 4th version of Aquaman, and not the original seahorse riding, vagrant looking bad boy, or cyborg version.

The film is not as touched up as other films we did, but we feel that it is more clean then the previous ones. Filming took about 15 hours over a course of 4 days, editing and piecing together the footage took about 4 hours. Sound was tossed in which took an additional 6 hours.
One thing i also noticed was the stereo sound. if the video is played with mono speakers, not all of the sound was heard. with stereo R&L speakers and even a subwoofer, more of the sounds were heard. i have a set of speakers that allow me to hear more then several layers at a time for full enjoyment of jazz scores and planet earth videos, which have other sounds not necessarily needed to be heard.

The reason only about 5 days were spent on it, was because my goal was to do one film per month timeline. so the rest of the month, me and my friends were hiking, spelunking, driving around looking for the new POTC black pearl set from a place that didnt already get sold out, and OH YES... we were playing Carcasonne with our friends. the new expansions are ridiculous. for instance, the Tower.

The animating didnt take too long in general, but overall, a couple of the hours were spend trying to make the water scene "work." Also at times, i felt the film became a lil TOO long. So i ended up cutting off tidbits from it. if it was any longer, we did feel that it would distract and bore the audiences. this never really happened before, but since we do have extra footage... i can make a deleted scenes reel sometime perhaps.

some people have been asking, "what are these easter eggs you speak of??" well easter eggs are hidden little details of characters referenced or added to the film to make it more "funny" and may include gags, jokes, or just characters from other series. for instance, this AQUAMAN film has only 3. one of them is another DC hero is present, but not spotlighted. oh, i know B-boy Killa Croc and Sunny Mista Freeze is there, but they are there to enjoy the beach, not to bother anybody. so for Mista Freeze, i am glad he was finally able to enjoy some off time. as for the hidden DC hero, you'll just to pay attention. and dont worry, its not batman, or any character far off from the Aquaman realm.
