Links to the brickfilms can be found in the link above. A small plug: my brickfilm Beast (watch it here on YouTube), second-place winner in the Brickfilms.com Fame, Infamy and Glory contest, has been nominated for Best Sound Design. I’m honored, but also amused. I hated doing the sound for Beast, especially since I was working with Windows Movie Maker 2 at the time, and had to struggle with only one audio track.
The BAMPAs have a seperate website, but it hasn’t been updated in a while.

Plastic soul indeed.
