Please let me know your thoughts (good or bad). Bank robbery, car chase, helicopter and explosion!

Love the scenes near the end, the helicopter, pool hall, etc. The overall city shots are great.

Great camera angles. How many frames per second was that or did it vary throughout?

Great camera angles. How many frames per second was that or did it vary throughout? Answer: Yes, it varies from 15-30 frames. On occasion as low as 5 fps, but one shot was over 75fps (zooming into the bank exterior shot). Thanks for the feedback.

Pretty well done. My only feedback has to do with the minifig heads/faces. There are some heads that have different facial expressions, and swapping them out in different frames could make it look like the figs are emoting/talking etc. Just food for thought.

Thank you, yes I agree, this is a must for the next one... Thanks a lot - your feedback is much appreciated.

Just to add to my earlier comments about frames per second. I use 2 different types of software: Ikit Movie 4 for filming each scene; I then use Corel Video Pro 9 for the final editing. Each allows one to manipulate the speed, so even though I film with a certain fps, that can change once I edit the speed during editing...
