r/Brickfilms

Hello all, the title is pretty self explanatory but I have been racking my brain all night from this.

For context I had youtube recommend the the Brickfilm 'The Cleaners' and I swore up and down I have seen it before but I had no watched tag on it nor a like or dislike. Anyway I got to remembering and remembered the details of this supposed film I was thinking off;

It was fully voice acted, it started with the hitmen duo having a conversation in the car, one of them flirts with a lady in the front yard of the house I believe, both are disguised as plumbers or possibly another form of tradesmen, it had a pretty brutal fight scene in a bathroom, and either the mid story or end plot twist is that they went to the wrong house. Also the movie made pretty big use out of the technique of the silly putty to allow the arms to move beyond the normal range of motion I remember.

If anybody here could help me with this and either find it or prove to me I am hallucinating it or something that would be great, naturally internet searches got me nowhere and was just creating information outta thin air.

Regardless thanks for reading this post.

Hi everyone,

My son has been passionately animating stop-motion for the past 5 years using his iPhone. He has built a great foundation, but he is ready to take a massive step forward and transition from a smartphone workflow to a dedicated camera, computer, and software setup.

We are looking to upgrade him to Dragonframe, and I need your help understanding the technical requirements and gear recommendations to make this transition as smooth as possible.

Specifically, I’m looking for advice on:

1. Camera Recommendations: What are some reliable, budget-friendly DSLR or mirrorless cameras (Canon, Nikon, Sony, etc.) that work seamlessly with Dragonframe? He needs something that supports reliable live-view and manual controls.
2. Computer Specs: What should I look for in a computer or laptop (macOS vs Windows) to run Dragonframe without lagging? What are the bare minimum vs. ideal specs for RAM, CPU, and storage for handling frames?
3. Lenses & Accessories: Any specific lenses (like macro lenses for close-up work) or essential accessories (tethers, power adapters, rigs) we should factor into the budget?

If it helps narrow down recommendations, he primarily animates smaller-scale projects.

Thank you so much in advance for your guidance—we really appreciate any advice from this community to help him take his animation to the next level!
