For me, I'd much rather use pre-build sets and get a final result that stands up with my other films, rather than throw something together simply 'in the spirit of THAC' and have its production values be pathetic. Writing, animating and editing are hard enough in that time, and I take a while to build sets anyway, so it's pre-build all the way for me.
In that same vein, how many of you go into it with one or more basic ideas of what to do, and then flesh one of them out once the theme is known? It probably strays even closer to 'cheating' than set-building, but it also speeds things into a better production phase. (I think Nick Durron does this each year....And then places super-high.) Are ya'll of the same opinion regarding that?
I get that the point is 24 hours, but I'm too much of a perfectionist (And anti-procrastinator) to leave things to the last second and risk a terrible outcome.
@Squash, wow, I agree with Walter. That's comedy gold right there.
