Topic: 'Just Another LEGO Animation Contest' by spugesdu [CLOSED]

Main contest video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Me85NmcZX94&hd=1

Rules:

. Create a LEGO stop-motion animated short on the theme of 'DISCOVERY'! How you connect your film to the theme is entirely up to you, be creative with it! Just make sure you could explain the connection if required to.

. Your video should be less than 2 minutes long, but slightly longer entries may be accepted if appropriate. There is a limit of 1 video per entrant so make it count! You can change your entry at any time before the deadline, just make sure I (spugesdu) know which is your final entry.

. All entries MUST include the contest logo for at least 3 seconds at the very beginning to be valid. Link will be included at bottom of description.

. Your video must comprise at least 80% stop-motion animation. If you want to use CGI it cannot take up more than 20% of the total running time (scenes with both CGI and stop-motion compositions won't count towards that).

. Post your entry as a YouTube video response to the rules video. You must be subscribed to spugesdu to qualify as an entrant too! Link will be included at bottom of description where you can subscribe.

. The deadline for entries is February 1st 2012 and the winners will be announced shortly afterwards! Be sure to take time with your entry, it's not a race and getting in earlier doesn't mean you'll have a better chance. Try and use your whole two months if you can. Videos created before December 1st will not qualify.

Prizes, sponsored by Boinx Software!

Best film of the contest: 1 x License for Boinx iStopMotion Pro

Three runners-up: 1 x License for Boinx iStopMotion Express (each)

Good luck with your entry!

This is great. I'm already making a film that would go great as an entry to this! mini/smile

I'm working on getting my studio back up and running, so stay posted...

Re: 'Just Another LEGO Animation Contest' by spugesdu [CLOSED]

WOW! those are some good prizes! mini/bigsmile I'm in! and hopefully all the pros already have the software so I have a better chance at winning!
I do have a question if the theme is discovery. . . will it help to win if the discovery is like really cool?  I mean. . . if first prize is for "best film" will say, a really good film with not much discovery win, over a not as good film with a way cool discovery win?
or is it 50/50?

Re: 'Just Another LEGO Animation Contest' by spugesdu [CLOSED]

OKay thanks! I guess I will just have to try, and make my film really good and have a way cool discovery in it! mini/mrgreen

Re: 'Just Another LEGO Animation Contest' by spugesdu [CLOSED]

I have a good idea already, and I'll use the deadline to my advantage.

You can put iStopMotion on a Power PC, but you have to have enough RAM.

I think he meant if you have a PC.  PowerPc's are usually abbreviated to Macintosh.

Once THAC 9 is done I really want to enter this and with some recent success in contests I have high hopes.

Please announce those prizes soon!

Re: 'Just Another LEGO Animation Contest' by spugesdu [CLOSED]

This is a great contest... hopefully I can enter it. I am also curious about the prizes for non Mac uses (I wish I wasn't part of the non-mac using group).

Re: 'Just Another LEGO Animation Contest' by spugesdu [CLOSED]

I think the 'Windows Prize' will be a LEGO model of some kind, will post YouTube update tomorrow.
