The Briefcase Conundrum

Silly goofy cartoony man will chase a briefcase to the ends of the earth if it meant he could see what was in it.
At last, I'm back on my feet! i didn't expect BRAWL to be the thing that kicks me into gear again but I'm more than happy that I've got my drive back! Had a lot of fun making this, and it's quite different from my usual style of comedy as well as one other big change...
The frame rate is different! I've joined the 24 on 2s gang. It provides for smoother looking camera movements, and more cartoony animation which is what's needed here.
Unlike my THAC entry, i really poured over every element here, especially the cinematography. Brought back the facial animation but this time for comedic purposes rather than emotional. Might be my favourite thing I've made this year!
And a July 27th update...i placed in the top 25! Out of 99 entries, and in the top 25 i placed 9th! Very exciting for my first BRAWL!

This man would have hated Pulp Fiction!

[@starwarsstudio100]

Dang, this was impressive as expected. I really loved what you did with the scrabble face. Nice work and good luck with the contest!

[@CLEGOFILMS1]

Thank you so much!

[@Capitaine_Croissant]

Nice stuff! The animation is super interesting, the facial animation is fun too! Really cool storytelling

[@ruckhusstudios1012]

Love the use of "No Ticket" at the start

[@CLEGOFILMS1]

When i was animating that scene all that was playing in my head was "no ticket" so i had to use it.

[@joshuanelsonanimations]

The facial expressions, the animation, the raiders reference, everything was so good! One thing that stood out to me though was the set design, particularly using snow shoe pieces for the ceiling fan! Idk why, but it caught my eye.

[@CLEGOFILMS1]

Oh thank you man! Your entry was great too! I cannot take credit for the snow shoes fan or the detectives office set design because I took those off of the detectives office set lmao. I'm glad you liked the raiders reference, and the facial animation really gave it that extra flavour for sure!

[@joshuanelsonanimations]

@CLEGOFILMS1 Well, even if it's a set, you animated it well, and everything else looks good regardless!

[@StarBrickStudios]

This was really good, enjoyed it the whole way through! Great expressive character and face animation, comedic timing, and also I love that you used Indiana Jones music lol

[@CLEGOFILMS1]

Thank you! Yeah there were moments where i just needed that Indiana Jones music haha. The facial animation really did add a lot!

[@dagarbes4250]

I’m gonna share some information that is not a secret to anyone: this animation is absolutely fantastic!

[@GregoryAnimations]

This was legit SUCH a good entry! The facial expressions really made it! Well done!

[@CLEGOFILMS1]

Thank you man! I'm really glad you enjoyed it. I wanna do more stuff like this in tbe future because I'm a crap writer lmao

[@msbricks63]

You know I’ve been anticipating this film, and it did not disappoint! Great job, and good luck!

[@CLEGOFILMS1]

Thank you man! Good luck to you as well!

[@blakewordlow7632]

Very Awesome Lego Film!

[@Nurtnaut]

I love the cartoony nature of your animation, and of your story. Best of luck with the contest!

[@CLEGOFILMS1]

Thank you! Best of luck to you as well.

[@buggobricks]

this is some really great stuff! good luck man!

[@FormalLens]

I love this! The tone of the comedy reminds me of the old Paganomation space police episodes

[@CLEGOFILMS1]

Thank you! And massive congrats to you for placing in the top 5! I loved your entry!

[@brickhistory]

Great work, I love the cartoony feel.

[@CLEGOFILMS1]

Thank you!

[@ErikTongStudios]

very well made story this is wonderfully made

[@superplush9987]

This looks so smooth!

[@CLEGOFILMS1]

Thanks! 24fps camera movements probably have something to do with that, really allows for a cleaner look

[@ramonefett2638]

Good Animation!
