I think this one needs a bit of explaining…
As part of my fledgling midlife crisis, I’m trying to teach myself to play the guitar. Justin Sandercoe is a very nice man with a website devoted to teaching people to play the guitar. It’s like we’re made for each other. Speaking as a complete guitar noob, I can say that his beginner lessons do actually seem to work. And he does it all for free, which is nice.
He posts tutorial videos on Youtube, which was how I first found out about him, and he recently put up a competition there to win a bunch of guitar stuff, with the prize going to the video demonstrating the most innovative use of a guitar.
This is my entry: Bowling for Sandercoe
The music is by my fine internet chum, Loïc Desjardins, who wrote, performed and mixed the score. That’s probably him whistling on it too. He managed to do this all in the space of about a week, despite me giving him nothing in the way of a useable brief and changing around the edit of the film while he was still working on it. Visit his site and tell him how cool he is.
There will be the usual smorgasbord of downloadable versions and behind-the-scenes photos sometime in the near future.
I just watched Bowling for Sandercoe on YouTube, and I just want to say…
You, sir, are utterly amazing. I’ve seen Lego stop motion movies before but nothing compares to the amazing animation of this one. And I also saw the video explaining how you made the ball bounce….wow!! Tell Loic Desjardins that his song was the perfect touch for this video, too. Excellent stuff.
Excellent ! Très bien fait, marrant, drôle, sympa, décalé… all my congratulations in french (I’m french). Continuez !
Simply amazing. Technical perfection, great music, great story. The best Lego movie I have seen sofar.
Whaou! Great job! Funny story with an amazing direction. Love it!
