“This
physical world is merely a shadow of that other,
more solid, spirit realm.” – unknown author

April 2007)
NEW: I’ve recently completed and uploaded a “full
length” version of this film free of the 15-second time limitation required by
the contest it was originally created for.
I’ve also uploaded a “Making Of” video containing some of the test
footage I shot and “behind-the-scenes” photos of my animation set-up. See table below for links to these
videos. (added 12-30-2007)
Roughly translated “The
Destruction of Death’s Grip”, this very short film was my submission to the
Brickfilms.com “EASTER Festival 2007” 15-second
film contest. [It placed 5th
out of 16 films.] Only my second
“brickfilm”, this was my first go at using “brick” sets (made from LEGO and
MegaBloks), multiple camera angles, special lighting techniques and animated,
customized LEGO mini-figures.
Special thanks to Ben
Widlicka for his role as my Latin Consultant.
Thanks to my wife and three
children for sharing me with this project.
They are my greatest blessing and my first and foremost audience.
