sorry for the late response! I've been busy lately. I took a look, what's the context behind it? Were you using a pre-written script? Overall I feel like some parts just end up being too slow, but if you have to stick to set dialogue that can obviously be a challenge!

Also, it's really ambitious to have the number of frames that you do. It'd be cool if you could get a little more lipsyncing, so maybe having a different shape for "o" or "oo" sounds, etc. Also, you might want to check your quality settings because when you have the frames with drawn on mouths show up the quality of the image itself suddenly decreases and makes it a little distracting.

Again, I'm not sure exactly what the context behind the film was but I think it runs a little long, too. Maybe you could cut down some moments a little shorter. I know it's hard, especially if you're given dialogue, especially with a medium that lends itself a little better to more body mechanics and less talking. But it's cool that you went through so much effort to make a project like this! nice job :D

Well, it was for History of Theatre class. The script was a shot for shot kind based on Bronson Howard's Script of the third act of the part with some parts are cut out. The hard parts was the movements of the figures and how I used Adobe for the lip sync which I do to improve it. The editing software was Final Cut Pro.

The style of the play was a romantic era of theatre where the acting was different. Thanks for the review. I hope I can use this knowledge for my future stopmotion projects.

Ohh, I see. Lego might not have been the best medium to work with due to the lack of possible acting with them, haha. But definitely looks like a fun project you can learn a lot from! Very ambitious too :D

Yea, it is very hard to do. It takes patience to do each frame by fame. I am planning to do another one with a script underway.

That sounds awesome! Stop motion is definitely a challenge, I really commend you on your patience. Good luck on it! 8)
