Playback

Playback is a 2008 comedy brickfilm by David Pagano about two dancers fighting over control of a boombox. Like previous Pagano film Little Guys!, Playback features large brick-built puppets instead of minifigures.

Playback was an entry to the Nicktoons and LEGO Built By Me Movie Contest and was one of two second-place prize winners in the 18 and Older category, along with Choose Your Own Storyline: The Fight For Paradise Hills by David Pickett.

Plot
A man in a green jacket sits on park bench, looking around. Eventually he presses play on a boombox and begins to dance to the music. Abruptly, the music stops. A new person, a man in a white shirt, has added his own cassette tape and has begun playing his own music. Green-jacket man switches back to his music, and then white-shirt man switches the music again. They have a stand off, both playing and stopping their music until, in frustration, green-jacket man takes the boombox. White-shirt man reveals he has the cassette tape. Green-jacket man sits down, defeated. But white-shirt man has an idea. He plays both cassettes at once, and both men enjoy the music together.
