The '''Bricks In Motion Awards''' (commonly abbreviated to '''BiMA''' or '''BiMAs''') was an annual event held on [[Bricks In Motion]] to recognize notable brickfilms that exceled in animation, storytelling, visual design, entertainment and artistic quality. The winners of each category were awarded with a (virtual) Bricks In Motion Award. The Bricks in Motion Awards have been effectively cancelled since 2016. [[Nathan Wells]], one of the last runners of the Bricks in Motion Awards, cited the "quiet response [...] from the community" as one of the major reasons for not continuing the awards,<ref>[http://www.bricksinmotion.com/forums/post/367767/#p367767 Nathan Wells's response to "Has the Bricks in Motion Awards been cancelled"]</ref> with another being the growing difficulty in keeping track of the many brickfilm releases in each year.

The '''Bricks In Motion Awards''' (commonly abbreviated to '''BiMA''' or '''BiMAs''') is an annual event held on[[ Bricks In Motion]] to recognize notable brickfilms that excel in animation, storytelling, visual design, entertainment and artistic quality. The winners of each category are awarded with a (virtual) Bricks In Motion Award.
 
   
The BiMAs are similar in style to film industry award shows such as the BAFTAs or Oscars with films being nominated for a category in advance and then the winner being announced to a live audience. The 'live' winner's announcement of the BiMAs is usually done via IRC chat which has sometimes been accompanied with a video stream.

The Bricks in Motion Awards replaced the Brick Award for Film Arts (BAFAs) which ran for one year in 2008 starting on [[Brickfilms.com]] and later on [[Bricks in Motion (website)|Bricks in Motion]] (then known as ILoveBrickfilming.com), which in turn was a replacement for the Brickfilming Achievement in Motion Picture Arts awards (BAMPAs) which ran in 2006 and 2007 on Brickfilms.com.

Revision as of 23:37, 15 January 2022

The Bricks In Motion Awards (commonly abbreviated to BiMA or BiMAs) was an annual event held on Bricks In Motion to recognize notable brickfilms that exceled in animation, storytelling, visual design, entertainment and artistic quality. The winners of each category were awarded with a (virtual) Bricks In Motion Award. The Bricks in Motion Awards have been effectively cancelled since 2016. Nathan Wells, one of the last runners of the Bricks in Motion Awards, cited the "quiet response [...] from the community" as one of the major reasons for not continuing the awards,[1] with another being the growing difficulty in keeping track of the many brickfilm releases in each year.

The BiMAs were similar in style to film industry award shows such as the BAFTAs or Oscars with films being nominated for a category in advance and then the winner being announced to a live audience. The 'live' winner's announcement of the BiMAs was usually done via IRC chat which has sometimes been accompanied with a video stream.

The Bricks in Motion Awards replaced the Brick Award for Film Arts (BAFAs) which ran for one year in 2008 starting on Brickfilms.com and later on Bricks in Motion (then known as ILoveBrickfilming.com), which in turn was a replacement for the Brickfilming Achievement in Motion Picture Arts awards (BAMPAs) which ran in 2006 and 2007 on Brickfilms.com.

2007 Brick Award for Film Arts

The BAFA Awards, officially called the Brick Award for Film Arts 2008 but covering films released in 2007,[9] the only one of its kind, was created by Mathew Buck to be a successor to the BAMPAs.[10] Changes from the 2006 BAMPAs include: adding Best Director, splitting Best Visual Elements into Best Set Design and Best Visual Effects, renaming Best Score to Best Music, renaming Best Voice Acting Performance to Best Vocal Performance, and adding Best Ensemble Cast. Winners were announced March 22nd, 2008.[11]

2008 Bricks in Motion Awards

The BAFA Awards were originally intended to return in 2009. Mathew Buck announced his intention in January 2009 to hand control of the awards over to a new host.[12] Nathan Wells was selected as the new host soon afterwards. A thread was soon posted for forum users to suggest potential nominees for the forthcoming BAFAs.[13] In February, Wells said the BAFAs were progressing slowly and could be months late, but would still happen.[14] This was the last official word heard about the 2008 BAFAs. A successor to them, the Bricks in Motion Awards, was run in their place.

Bimawards2008

The Bricks in Motion Awards were created by Dylan Woodley as a successor to the BAFAs.[15] They were announced on August 2, 2009, later in the year compared to preceding ceremonies owing to the aborted BAFAs earlier in the year. The members of the judging panel were Philip Heinrich, Jonathan Vaughan, "Night Owl", Evan Linsey, Jordan Harris, Dustin Finstrom, Zach Macias, Anthony D'Angelo, David Pagano and Dylan Woodley. The results were posted August 9, 2009.[16]

2009 Bricks in Motion Awards

Bima2009

Dylan Woodley continued to host the 2009 Bricks in Motion Awards.[17][18] Two new categories, Best Series and Viewers' Choice, were added. There was no specific judging panel. Instead, all members of the Bricks in Motion staff were allowed to submit a ballot for the awards. The nominations were announced on February 23, 2010 and the final results were announced on April 18, 2010.

The cancelled 2010 Bricks in Motion Awards

The 2010 Bricks in Motion Awards did not take place because its organizer Dylan Woodley only received 5 nomination ballots from the staff members of the site[20], and because of the lack of eligible voters.[21] The lack of a 2010 awards came as a surprise to many users because Woodley had already announced the 2010 awards as happening and produced a short list of films for the Viewers Choice Award.[22] It took 5 months after the closing of Viewer's Choice voting for official confirmation that the event was not happening.

The Viewers' Choice shortlist was:
