Are you a brickfilm maker and tired of soliciting on YouTube for a few ads that don't get you much money? Would you like your work to be seen and recognized by many more people?

LEGO invites you to create the next brickfilm which will be used to promote the LEGO Super Heroes range on different media (LEGO.com, LEGO YouTube Channel, LEGO Club, LEGO Brand Retail, and maybe even on future DVDs to come. ...)

$ 20.000 will be distributed to the winners on this project, I advise you take a look before giving up.

The operation is divided into three phases: Find an original idea, write a script, make a brickfilm (in English) of 1 to 2 minutes.

Each step will see several proposals awarded a few hundred, then thousands of dollars.

The theme ? Super heroes, of course. Please note, only the heroes of the DC universe are affected, no Marvel characters. The brickfilm is aimed at a young audience, so no extreme violence, vulgarity, etc ...

I know that among the blog readers there are some talented brick filmmakers. Stop complaining in your area and go for it!

All the regulations and all the details of the transaction can be found at this address: LEGO DC Universe Super Heroes Video Project.

FBTB publishes close-up photos of Flash, Batman and The Riddler minifigs from set 76012 The Riddler Chase taken during the set's official presentation at Comic Con.

I offer you here a small assembly, history to discover more closely these three minifigs that I find rather successful.

The Flash mask could also be used for a future version of Captain America, its shape is perfectly adapted (Without the lightning of course) ...

Batman is perfect in his version Beware The Batman, with the logo and the characteristic belt of the animated series.

The Riddler, nothing to say, it's perfect: The hat is green, the outfit covered with question marks is superb.

Other photos are available on the article published by FBTB.
