[googboog]

yup. this is awesome, how are they going to check for authenticity of reels? like if someone has experience or doesnt? i've already seen a few reels that have been made by people with industry experience posted here...

hi there good luck

[renegade060482]

Yes I agree with Kevin...since all of us are students....getting some feedback will be relly helpfull...please give this a thought

Hey  escapestudios,

Just an idea. For those of us who don't win... it would be great if there was some way to get critique or feedback on our work from professionals in the field. Things to work on, areas of improvement, etc...

If there are a lot of entries then this would only work with perhaps the top 50 or so.

Just an idea.

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for your suggestion. We are going to be considering it over the coming days and will be confirming soon if we can do this and to how many people we will provide feedback.

Thanks again for the good suggestion.

Hi, i am in awe of everyone that has posted a video. I am also frustrated as its what i would love to do but just don't have the skill or money to do the course. I am saving and hope to do it at some point. Well done to you all, anyone who has tried 3D knows how much effort and love you have all put into your work. thank you.

Hey there,

This competition is brilliant, I have uploaded my entry and have been getting some really encouraging feedback. I think that even if I'm not one of the lucky ones, the competition has allowed me to view other work by artists that otherwise I would never of had the chance to see.

Good luck to everybody, some of these entries put me to shame...;)

Cheers

Samuel.

Hey.

I am not sure if I am eligible to enter the competition. I graduated Kingston University last year. While I studied at I was freelancing part time at 3D company and freelancing form home. After my university course finished I went full time and I still work full time on architectual visualisations. I am 90% self tought working mostly with 3ds max therefore your competition, Maya course and most importantly Mill placement is soooo interesting to me. Am I eligible to enter the competition??

[escapestudios]

Hi There,

The competition is not open to anyone who has done professional work or is a freelancer. Otherwise it would not be fair to students, graduates and hobbyists.

But don't despair, we will be running our famous Escape Awards later in 2010 and will be rewarding professionals and freelancers then. Keep an eye out for them as we will announce the date around Christmas.

Hi there,

So long as you've not worked in the 3D industry before, then you are absolutely fine to enter the competition.

Look forward to seeing your entry, good luck!

Question? Are we allowed to post more than one Video Response?

Thank you.

[escapestudios]

Hello There,

I am afraid we are only taking one entry per person. Good luck for the competition!
