This was an entry for the BrickFilms 24-Hour Animation Contest (THAC).  I finished this film in 22 hours, taking breaks throughout that time.  The theme for the contest was General, meaning any story I want, with the mod element being the letter N, which is what had to appear in every frame of the film.

The story came out completely different from what I had originally intended, and has become a bit more random than planned, but I am still happy with the results.

I was challenged by Amped (a fellow brickfilmer) to a one hour speed battle to animate a short with the theme "A House in the Middle of Nowhere."  This was a small practice for the THAC.

After 17 hours of straight work this scene from the famous Shakespeare play, Hamlet, is complete and ready to be turned in for our English project.  Although it does have a slight twist; we decided to combine Hamlet with Star Wars.

This was created for a history project on people who traveled the Silk Road.  
Although it says it is four minutes and one second long, in reality it's two minutes and forty seconds due to us messing around with very long credits.

Our second film we ever made, but our first that is worth watching.  This film was created to enter the Mount Washington Family Film Festival; a local amateur film festival for all ages.  Despite some of its technical draw backs such as a lack of background and repeating background music this film we would say is a good view.
