"Something seemed fishy as soon as she walked in, but after several red herrings this case was beginning to make me feel like a fish out of water. The evidence was packed like a tin of sardines, but no matter how I tackled it, I just couldn't reel the guy in. I felt like I was being baited and she seemed like a walking lure."
Absolutely awesome film. Every frame is a thing of beauty, and the sound effects are so good. The music choices really elevate each scene, and the lighting is simply sublime as usual.
Haha, great lines! Appreciate your comment
Oh yes! Oh yes! GOOD EATING for the whole community!
This was stellar work, Stanley! So deserving of its place in the ranking. I look forward to rewatching it
Thank you so much, Formal Lens! I really liked your entry as well :~)
I love the shots, the cinematography in your films never fails to amaze me
Appreciate it, thank you!
This joint is 🔥🔥🔥, great cinematic work!!!
Keep doing what chu do.
This was marvelous. Absolutely stunning visuals (the underwater shots just blew me away). This is some of your finest work yet and I love the twist on the detective genre. Some very creative story beats and editing as well. Well done my friend!
Thank you so much! Very glad it resonated with you!
This brickfilm has some of the best writing, cinematography, and lighting I’ve ever seen🔥🔥🔥
(This’ll definitely get at least top 3)
Appreciate it!
Wow, this is incredible. I have watched it 3 times in a row now! This is such a creative style and the underwater setting is a very charming, yet eerie twist. Fantastic and well crafted work, my friend. You truly have filmmaking in your blood!
Thank you, Graham! Such high praise means a lot!
STANLEYYYYY. that was an instant rewatch, had to catch some shots frame by frame too- amazing amazing amazing!!! stunning work buddy, as always! :)
Thank you so much my friend! Appreciate the kind words
The master of cinematography! Every shot's color and lighting makes my eyes happy, i dont even know why!! especially loved the underwater shots and the fisheye shots, very unique! Well done mr stanley qbrick!!
Thank you so much, Orca! Appreciate ya :~)
Oh this was indeed a very nice watch as always. Nicely done and good luck with the contest of course!
Much appreciated, my friend!
Great work! My favorite part is the fish playing cards at the table. Lot of great shots in here as well.
Thank you!
This has to be one of my favourite brickfilms I've ever seen. The atmosphere and the world you create with your filmmaking is mesmerising. Unique and brilliant. Such an amazing example of what happens when different brickfilming techniques work together, rather than as individual elements. Thank you, this brickfilm has made my day.
I'm so glad to hear that my work resonated with you. Appreciate the kind words!
Something about your style really resignates with me. The vintage look, awe inspiring cinematography, the colors, and the spectacular circle shots. This is a spectacular work of art! Great job man 🔥!
Appreciate the kind words man, I'm glad to hear my work resonates with you!
BRO!!!
The under water effect was SO good! 👏👏
The cinematography is actually impeccable, this better place
Beautifully atmospheric… and very appropriate use of a fisheye lens!
Hehe, I thought so too! I wanted to use that specific lens in a Brickfilm for quite some time now; this project felt like the perfect opportunity to finally try it out.
You’ve outdone yourself once again man! The shots in this are impeccable, and very creative. Love the whole atmosphere and the aquatic designs for all the characters too. So good!!
Thank you, Star Brick! Much appreciated! I still need to watch your entry but I'm excited to do so :~)
...all I can say is "Wow!"
So much talent is being expressed here, and especially for only a week!
Your animations ooze with so much atmosphere and style. Such a unique take on this medium.
Thank you so much
Truly fantastic Stanley! Every frame was shot to perfection! Well done!
Thank you so much!
Absolutely stunning - amazing work Stanley! This is by far my most favorite brick film out there now!
Thank you so much, I appreciate that!
bro might be yorgos lanthimos... great work!
The cinematography is amazing!
The lighting in this is impeccable. I love the creativity here too, I feel like there's so much more to this underwater world. One nitpick I have is that I wish the narration was a little louder, and the music quieter, because it's hard for me to hear what he's saying. Other than that though, you've made something pretty solid in just a week's time.
Thank you, Joshua! I agree that the mix is not perfect. It was hard to find the right balance between the VO being loud enough and the music complementing the atmosphere to a degree that I felt was appropriate. In its current state it is best listened to with a good pair of headphones.
@@StanleyQBrick Yeah, I probably should've worn headphones. Maybe on my next watch.👍
Fantastic entry
Thank you!
Free my bro he ain't done nun
Perhaps the most visually appealing brickfilm I have ever seen. Every frame a masterpiece.
This is the kind of creativity we need in BRAWL entries nowadays. Your previous projects had already impressed me before, but this is no exception. With new brickfilmers like me popping up everyday and trying to make something to impress the community, it’s nice to have talented animators and storytellers like you to guide us to put our own creative spin on our brickfilms. Keep up the good work, and good luck with the contest!
Thank you so much, i appreciate the kind words!
Beautiful work! Extremely pleasing to the eye... I especially enjoyed the Bioshock-inspired atmosphere. Super thoughtful, creative brickfilm!
Oh my god, this is art. For real.
Thank you!
Best thumbnail award? 🥇
(Edit) 1st place, this is my favorite entry!
This is pure eye-candy. The cinematography, lighting, and colour is on another level.
I loved this! Especially all of those abstract shots of various things floating lifelessly in the water. And those fisheye shots! Wow!
The underwater shots are absolutely mesmerizing. What a unique idea and the cinematography captures it perfectly!
Holy shit dude this was absolutely amazing on all fronts!! I loved this, production value of this is insane-and you did this all in a week-what?!! Can't wait to see what you cook up next
I hope you win this is so sick
Thank you so much!
So cinematic
Criminally underrated. Love this vibe
Thank you!
it took me an entire day at work after watching this to realise that the frequent use of a fisheye lens was reference to the cast being marine life
best entry i've seen so far
Haha, appreciate it!
Brilliant cinematography. Great job!
An absolute beauty through and through. So much great stuff to unpack, I've never seen anything like it!
How did you film the shots with the bubbles? Was it in camera? CG? Composited? Madness!
Thank you JO Co!
most creative brickfilm ive seen wow
Thank you, Erik!
Fantastic film, your detective theme and stories are so good. :D
the shot at 1:22 is particularly amazing, gives the scene so much height
This work is insanely beautiful and pleasing to watch. Very superb
This man never misses, how come a 3:30 minute Lego movie has better writing and cinematography than actual blockbusters?
Love (a) U
God damn these shots are beautiful, great work
between this and aeronomads, amazing
"I followed the scent of blood through the shadowed stygian corners of thee abyss." this has some of the best writing I've heard in a brickfilm all year and the visuals were as spectacular as usual.
Dude this is so funky, I love it! I'd watch a hundred more videos just in this little underwater world. Amazing work as usual, Q. 🖤
Thank you so much!
Stunning, as always.
I love this world you created
Well I'm just repeating the other comments at this point, but this is phenomenal. The world building, parts usage, writing and cinematography are all stellar. Fantastic work, good luck with the contest!
Thank you so much!
Wow, simply wow. You are a mastermind
Work of art
I can’t even put into words how much I love this! Great work man🙏
Thank ya! Glad you like it!
Serious banger my goodness
Oh lord have mercy this is incredible
Ah man you’re so talented
Thank you Glin! Means a lot coming from you :~)
Amazing as always matey
first place winner right here!!!
HE SAID IT
This is so good
Yorgos Lanthimos would be proud
That'd make me happy :~)
I was amazed by the water stud effect you did, could you please do a tutorial I would love it
Thank you! Do you mean the 1x1 round plates flowing through water? These scenes were filmed practically through a water tank.
@@StanleyQBrick yea that was amazing
0:35 how did you get this shot?!?
🪄
This was amazing, may I ask what equipment this was shot with? Specifically how did you achieve the shots with the lense around them?
Thanks! Those scenes were shot with a Peleng 8mm fisheye lens.
@@StanleyQBricka fish eye lense, very thematic for this video
@@gilgy4626 Indeed!
