The second round of the Brickfilms.com summer brickfilming contest is officially underway, and organizers are encouraging creators to push their visual storytelling skills to the limit. Unlike the first round, participation is fully independent—new entrants can jump in without having competed previously.
This round challenges brickfilmers to produce a single, continuous shot lasting no more than six seconds. The goal: craft the most visually striking moment possible.
Participants are urged to focus on lighting, set design, composition, and camera movement, using every trick in their brickfilming toolbox to create a shot capable of standing on its own. Whether it’s a dramatic reveal, an emotional close‑up, or a sweeping miniature landscape, judges will evaluate entries purely on aesthetic impact.
To help newcomers, organizers offered a simple definition: a shot is one uninterrupted take—much like a single panel in a comic book, but brought to life through motion.
Rules at a Glance
-Create one shot only
-Maximum length: 6 seconds
-Experimentation encouraged: new aspect ratios, bold color grading, fresh set ideas
-Brickfilming techniques should remain central, even in such a short format
Prizes and Giveaways
This round features two LEGO sets up for grabs, awarded to the top entries. As in the first round, one minifigure will be given away at random, giving every participant a chance to win regardless of placement.
Deadline Approaching
Entrants have until Tuesday, August 11 at 11:59 PM to submit their cinematic shot—just ten days remain. Results for all rounds will be announced together in September, once the final round concludes..
