Sets & Animation

Before starting with the current day sets & animation, let me tell you about the first cut-

            In the beginning of 2010, we started set building for the film. Due to the limited number of pieces we had (and still have), we created a multi-colored building for the prison exterior & interior. We felt that the set was good enough, so we started the animation. The animation we filmed wasn't too bad, but it wasn't in sync with the voice acting, so we stopped filming for a while. We then decided to make a second trailer after the already existing one. It became a minor success on YouTube, but when we joined Bricks in Motion, the truth was revealed that our film wasn't that well executed. We decided to delete all the film stock, and start from scratch. We then decided to put this film in the bonds, as we were striving for the funds to purchase more LEGO bricks & materials for sets. We also found ourselves returning the camera I received for my birthday, thus, leaving us camera-less. We, unfortunately, were not able to meet our original deadline, due to our lack of camera and sets. After Christmas, came New Year's, and after New Year's, our computer crashed. It was at that moment we realized that it would be very difficult to make this film-as well as remaking the original two films, entering TOY, and finishing The Flourescent Light, as well as The Missing Piece 2. We decided to once again postpone the film to a later date, until after TOY for BiM.

            We decided to end production on the entire Arc Troopers series after our film "Lone Rangers" in mid-2011, as we had lost the scripts and found it too juvenile to work with. I still hope to make a Star Wars film with our customized characters, however.
