Today's the day! A few hours ago I just released the first episode of Republic Commando! I used my friend's Mac for the sound effects. I'm the voice that says "I got this. . .I got this giant box of Tic Tac." Anyways, every week we hope to release a new episode of RC.
The voicing was just improv. We had to start the film over, so we completely re-wrote it. Most of the sound effects were drowned out by the voicing due to the mic's sensitivity. When the droid is playing piano at the end, the screwed up version of Twinkle Twinkle, that was just garage band. I dubbed a whole bunch of different instruments over each other in the same tune.
For the cymbals I just hit random keys to get the sound we wanted. We went through several drafts until we got the sound we liked. If you listen carefully in the background you'll always hear one of us going "yay god or yay, oh yay".
The first Bionicle you see was actually sitting on the highway toll pass the whole time. When it junps down and says "Bionicle smash" that was actually Alex. I said it in the background although you can barely hear it. Instead of making you go to YouTube, it's right here.
If that doesn't work for you, here's the link: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=787Da7bJu2I. Next episode will hopefully be released next week. Have a great time.

Stop Motion has Arrived
Republic Commando isn't looking to good. The photos have been lost, and the mic has been broken. That will have to wait a while. But on the bright side, BE has just released 2 stop motion films.
In "Where's My Helmet?" a Republic landing strip guarded by 4 Clone Troopers is hit by a Droid Carrier causing all to die except for one Clone who loses his helmet then finds it.
In "Numbers Don't Count" two Rebel trainees are assigned a mission: guard the command post. Those pesky Imperials soon show up and kill both Rebels, but then they get run over by a speeder themselves. For the LEGOs, it's a lose-lose situation.
I am charging my camera, and it should be ready in about 15 minutes. I am going to make a film with a Y-wing on patrol. I have downloaded a whole bunch of sound effects which are really hard to find (surprisingly).
Soon I am planning to design the BrixEntertainment sight, where you can read news, watch our videos, or just chat in the forums.
Either way, have a great day!
See ya soon!

Republic Commando Begins!
I just got back from my trip which by the way was amazing. Today we began filming of Republic Commando: Isolation. I must admit, that may not be the title when the episode is released hopefully this weekend. The first episode is nothing really. I'm working on the script, and we have to begin to add the special affects.
Nothing extremely exciting happens in the episode. There's not many battles, or explosions. It's quite different from most shows really. It's four Clone Troopers sitting on a bench, that are "being tested" via human isolation and seeing what happens to them. They have funny conversations with one another, and constantly bicker.
I cannot guarantee when you will be able to watch it. We have not established a firm film schedule, and resources are all over the place. By the 4Th, or 5Th episode we should have things worked out and running smoothly. Hopefully we'll be able to release one episode every week.
I'm not the best writer, and I'm still working on things, so please be patient. I'm going to get a few people to help out with the script. I would release the episode now, but I prefer to make some improvements to it for your optimum viewing experience. My friend has a lot of software and hardware on his Mac that we are going to use to improve various aspects of the episode.
I am sorry to keep you waiting for so long, but at the worst, it should be released by Wednesday. Hopefully this weekend or sooner you will be able to watch it.

Breakthrough!
Very sorry to everyone, but I've been very busy recently with Christmas and New Years things. A lot has happend since then so here's the scoop.
First up, I've ordered a ton of LEGO from the LEGO Shop, the last set is on the way, so once it gets here, we should be able to start shooting for Republic Commando. I am going on a cruise tomorrow, so I will not be here for almost 10 days.
I just got my computer fixed, so I've been able to download plently of new LEGO software, such as the new LEGO Digital Designer, and other things to help.
Our videos are starting to gain some ground on the web, and when shooting for new series starts, popularity will explode among us.
Much of our merchandise is available through the LEGO site, such as new sets, and other things. If you are interested in purchasing any of them, so to the LEGO Factory at LEGO.com, and search BrixEntertainment.
I'm just waiting for that final set to arrive, so we can all start shooting. UNtil it does there isn't really much that we can do. Just hang in tight and have a happy new year.
