SO! What does Santa Look Like?



Its finally done. My fifth Lego film!

it ended up longer then i anticipated... and the flow of the story seemed to be ok. on the other hand, as the creator, flow always seems ok. i have found out that for stories that i felt that had a good flow, only 1 out of 5 viewers understood it. 1 would be "brilliant! wow!" and the other 4 would be "what...just happened here?" The last film seemed to do well even tho myself didnt feel it was that good. It was short and to the point. a longer film may just be a little longer then what a normal person's attention span can keep up to these days...

This film took alot of incoherent-ness to make. i was just tired from work and other priorities, and i was supposed to rest up and go to bed for the next day. but i came home. was pooped. and HAD to make something. Had to finish.

Filming took about 39 hours. sound took maybe 6. and editing took only 2. if i take away the preparation of the film...meaning all the tiny drawings i had to do besides the sets, it would come down to maybe half of the hours. i drew just a lil more then 400 of those lil hand cut bubbles.

Story goes as follows~ (SPOILER- So watch film first!)
Boy at home gets call from friend.
The talk about Santa.
Boy gets intrigued/curious
Boy goes to ask father who tells him one thing.
He goes out in search of Santa
He gets told another thing about Santa. (this repeats)
He gives up and goes home.
Where he actually gets to see Santa.

BTW. anyone know what the boy's dad's occupation is? =]
