The Freak

The Freak trilogy is a series of three comedy brickfilms by Nate Burr. Each film focuses on an abnormal LEGO figure or imitation-LEGO figure. All three films were made over one month of time, and were each made within one day.

The three Freak films can be considered to be a part of the Steve and Dave series, even though Steve and Dave only appear for a cameo in the first film, and only Steve appears in the following two. In Christmas with Bluntmation, the first Freak film appears in a montage of previous Steve and Dave films, and Steve mentions that they have had "7 adventures, tops", a count which lines up with the inclusion of all three Freak films (when counting The Game parts 1 and 2 as one adventure).

The Freak
The first film, The Freak, focuses on a LEGO 4+ Figure, which were best known for appearing in Jack Stone sets, though the figure featured is actually from an early Creator set. The film was conceived as a way to test in-camera special effects, as well as the masking program Blue Screen of Life created by Stefan van Zwam.

Plot
Steve answers a phone call from a technician, who tells him about maintenance being performed on his telephone line and warns him not to answer the phone for the next half hour or he may receive a severe electrical shock. BoB wanders into the house and Steve leaves the room, when the phone begins to ring. Steve shouts to BoB to answer the phone, and when he does, BoB receives a massive electrical shock. It is then revealed that Steve had been making the call from the bathroom, on his mobile.

Uber-Freak
The second film, Uber-Freak, was created when Burr wanted to photograph some low quality imitation LEGO figures by a company called TATCO to share in a discussion on the Brickfilms.com forums. He decided he may as well make a quick animation starring them instead, and produced Uber-Freak in roughly 10 minutes.

Plot
Steve sees a very freaky pirate. He examines it as a second freak arrives and walks into the camera. The pirate begins to fall apart, and Steve goes to call Optimus Prime to take care of this abomination.

Optimus Prime raises his gun to the freak.

Hairy-FREAK
The third and final film, Hairy-FREAK, was released two days after Uber-Freak. This film features a LEGO Hagrid figure, which is larger than a regular minifigure and includes a big, bushy hair and beard piece.

Plot
A large, hairy freak is approached by Steve. Steve explains that "accidents" have been happening to unusual-looking people, and warns that bad things may happen if the freak hangs around too long. The hairy freak is then hit by a small truck.

Steve tries to revive the Freak, before looking at the truck. The truck transforms into a smaller version of Optimus Prime, who greets Steve. Steve christens him Mini-Optimus.
