Animation Challenge!!!
Its been a while since we had an animation challenge, and since everyone is graduating, I thought it would be fun to do something. We have some good prizes as well!
Here is the challenge!:
Many people have emailed me in regards to doing 24 hour challenges or assignments they were given a week to do and the results are amazing. I know many schools do this and its a great way to just go for it. I am not proposing a 24 hour challenge, but I am proposing a 1 month challenge. Heres the idea…
Take something that has been in the news starting a 6 months back to now or whatever pops up in the next days weeks and animate an aspect of it. You have probably seen NMA World Edition. Its something like this but hopefully more artfully done.It should tell a story through animation. It can be something related to the news story but does not need to be factual. An obvious example would be something related to Osama being captured. Obviously, nothing in bad taste but there is entertainment to be seen in every story. The piece should not be longer than a minute unless you think you can do it. The pieces will be judged on overall idea, style, story and animation. You will have to provide a link to the story you are using. The contest starts May 9th and Ends June 10th.
The Prizes:
1st Prize: A Ticket to the VanARTS Class Matt Luhn and I are teaching in New York, Austin or Montreal. You will have to get yourself there, but admission will be taken care of and you will get a signed poster.
2nd Prize: A Limited Edition Tin Toy Collectable (only 500 made)
3rd Prize: A Pixar Sweatshirt
Top 10 will be posted on the site.
The challenge will only take place if there are 10 or more applicants. Please email splinedr@gmail.com if you plan to participate. This challenge is in no way supported or related to anything at Pixar/Disney and is put on completely for educational/recreational purposes
Good Luck!!!
