'Just Another LEGO Animation Contest' - WIN iStopMotion Pro!

[Roboticist002]

Why not upload the results video then wait for the winners to contact you? Or do you need to know who's a PC user and who's a Mac user before rather than after?

[StormofCake]

Wow I am extremely surprised at the slow rate at which people reply.

People could have won a rather expensive prize, though they arent really accepting it I guess :P. I would have replied the instant I recieved the message XD

Unless as people are saying, YouTube is glitched and it isn't sending properly.

[Etmanrules]

@StormofCake it prob is cause i have sent several messages to him and had no reply

[kruztheoneandonly]

i didn't get the message

[Etmanrules]

@spugesdu Yay but I still haven't head anything was I ment to

[spugesdu]

The results video is coming guys, just a little longer. :)

[kruztheoneandonly]

What I didnt get the messgr

[Etmanrules]

kinda annoying not hearing anything about the contest

[minifigurestudios]

what do you mean PM like on youtube or bricksinmotion?

[spacePhoenix101]

What do you mean short list?

[DarksideLegoStudios]

@spacePhoenix101 potential prize winners, I think.

[juggernuatpictureshw]

@spugesdu What do you mean by shortlist? Isn't it customary to contact the winners after the results video?

[minifigurestudios]

How much longer????

[DarksideLegoStudios]

Did you post the winners? Or did you just notify who won?

[spugesdu]

@DarksideLegoStudios I need to hear back from everyone on the shortlist before I make the results video. It seems most people aren't great at replying to messages.

[stripeline1]

@spugesdu I sent you the message.

[Superbokje]

@spugesdu How do you mean? you sent everyone who entered a mail? i didnt got a pm

[DarksideLegoStudios]

@Superbokje No he only sent potential prize winners a PM. The reason is that he has to find out who has a Mac and a PC to decide who gets what prize. At least I think that's the reason anyway.

[Superbokje]

@DarksideLegoStudios so he wont make a winnersvid? :(

[DarksideLegoStudios]

@Superbokje He will, he just has to get a response from all the potential prize winners first.

[TVJUNK85]

@spugesdu Wait, what's the shortlist? Is that like the winners list or the runners up or something?

[DarksideLegoStudios]

@spugesdu If people are taking this long to respond you should just message the next person in line. It's been like 2-3 weeks so it's just getting ridiculous, you know?

[spugesdu]

@DarksideLegoStudios It may have been a glitch on YouTube's behalf, you should have received a message from me. Did you?

[DarksideLegoStudios]

@spugesdu Yeah it must be a glitch because I never got your message. Can you try sending it again?

[stripeline1]

@spugesdu No I didn't get it.

[LobsterFilms]

@spugesdu you sent out massages? i didnt get one...

[legendaryplastic]

When will you be judging the contest?

[spugesdu]

@legendaryplastic Wednesday.

[minifigurestudios]

When will you post the winners?

[stripeline1]

Yeah, I'm got in before 11:59pm.

[Subing1000]

I think that Whotos's entry is the best.

[kruztheoneandonly]

It wouldnt let me put my video as a response its called "The Wrong Job" go see it!!!!

Thanks

[kruztheoneandonly]

Cheers :D

[spugesdu]

Finished, no more entries please! Cheers guys. :)

[LegoJackoFett]

Did I get in ?

[thefourmonkeys]

We're in, phew! :D

[spugesdu]

I'm going to close up in 12 hours, regardless of where you are. Any entries after that may be disqualified! Good luck everyone. :)

[istopmo]

got my video in too!!!!! good luck to everyone!

[StormofCake]

Just got my video in.

Hopefully it wasn't too late!

[legendaryplastic]

I hope my movie made it(!_!)

[minifigurestudios]

Awesome

But Im not sure if it Video Responsed my Video so Please tell me if it did

[DarksideLegoStudios]

This may sound like a stupid question but if the deadline is February 1st does that mean you are accepting entries on February 1st and no entries will be allowed the minute in turns to Feb 2nd? I assume that's what it is but I just wanted to double check. Thanks!

[GluglusStudios]

What timezone is the deadline?

[spugesdu]

@GluglusStudios Hawaii I guess...

[GluglusStudios]

@spugesdu haha, but seriously, If I get it done in the next 2-3 hours, is that ok?

[diamondbricks]

i just finished my entry

[mada47906]

Check out my channel I'm holding a contest.

[spugesdu]

@mada47906 That's so weird, I'm holding a contest on my channel too!!

[mada47906]

@spugesdu Yeah I know. . .

[Superbokje]

Entered :) the only faily thing is the weird screen... i have a weird bug in my editing software

[thecomputerfreak2012]

DANGIT!!! If my camera was not dead I have a perfect discovery video. I got the LEGO Minifigures Genie..

[StormofCake]

Well this sucks.

I had made about 26 seconds of my video.

Then I went on a holiday.

Now I need more time to make my possibly best stopmotion so far.

[Websitecommissie]

@StormofCake I've exactly the same problem!

[Whotos]

Just entered my entry. Have subbed. By the way I had to make it in six hours.

[clapperburn]

NEED MORE TIME!

[Superbokje]

O: it says 11 entries

[haqq17]

Can I enter a 7-8 minute video?

[BioStrakk110]

My favorite entries are:"the discovery" by 678LEGO;"The Discovery" by Darthpennsylvania972;Detective Robinson by not4snail;and Santa's Secrets by me.

[BioStrakk110]

I just added my entry as a video response.Will replace with video with sound.(mic wasn't working)

[mada47906]

Waiting for a remote to shoot my film. Hope it gets here in time!

[MrSmas101]

[Iamdanielg]

[InBrooksProductions]

[spugesdu]

@InBrooksProductions It finishes February 1st..

[TinyBricksTv]

[TinyBricksTv]

@mladencom no u cant ,



[mladencom]

@TinyBricksTv yes you can because my friend did it so haha sucked in :p

[GluglusStudios]

Does it have to be LEGO?

[KomodoDragonized]

what does CGI mean?

[BlaringSIREN]

This has to be in lego?

[mrtomf11]

I will be entering soon maybe the end of January

[NickyMcVay]

I am so entering this!!! Awesome prizes man:D

[NFfilmz]

UGH man i gotts win this! I got a T3i and i REALLY need a mac animation software.

[nasrsarian]

Good luck everybody!

[nasrsarian]

I was going to enter as my next brickfilm is based on discovery but... I dont want to put that logo.

[spugesdu]

@nasrsarian Then clearly you don't want to win a $500 prize, shame.

[nasrsarian]

@spugesdu It's 500 bucks! Wow... I could never spend that money. Hmmm I might enter now. It's just the video I was entering was part of a series. Couldn't you just write in the description and title that it was made for you contest?

[TheRogex13]

Ok got an awesome idea! Great contest!

[StormWProductions]

Dragon Frame FTW!!! iStopMotion is still good ... just doesn't work with a Canon EOS 7D : /

[jamm13gon]

what happens if you enter and you are a mac person???

[spugesdu]

@jamm13gon Then you have the chance to win iStopMotion Pro or Express. Did you even watch the video??

[vostachow]

does it matter if I live in Australia?

[Superbokje]

Nice non mac prize! ill enter!

[Bocoiscool]

Does the amazon voucher come in U.S. Dollars too?

[spugesdu]

@Bocoiscool Yup!

[Bocoiscool]

@spugesdu Yes! Thanks man!

[legocustomcloneboy]

@spugesdu can i enter with a war short?

[spugesdu]

@legocustomcloneboy As long as it fits all the rules!

[jak12329]

Why haven't you told us of the prizes for PC users yet!!!!!!

[spugesdu]

@jak12329 I'm still considering them, will announce them tomorrow!

[jak12329]

@spugesdu aww...

[spugesdu]

@jak12329 Remember that I'm paying for them. lol

[jak12329]

@spugesdu Of course, and thank you very much! I'm just a little disappointed that's all.

[StormWProductions]

Lol .... In the video it says "Spread The Word" but any competitive person would not spread the word because they would want to win the prize software. Dragon Frame Stop-Motion ftw!!!

I might enter depending on if I get a good script......

[digitalwizardz]

@StormWProductions -Any truly competitive person would want to go up against the best. No? Great theme for a contest!

[Superbokje]

Dragon stop-motion FTW! adobe after effects or sony vegas xD

[MrLegostuff]

Is there s certain time limit for you to use the software? Like if I won a prize but didn't download it for a month would it expire? Because I'm currently using a mac g5 until I can repair my newer iMac.

[3077BIODROID]

could pc winners have an option of either a stopmotion sofware or somthing else? I already have a good animation software. This is totally up to you

[3077BIODROID]

whats the guitar in the beginning called?

[pizzamovies]

@3077BIODROID acoustic.

[ghartsho]

The only problem I have with software being a prize is most to all people can easily download it from some torrent site for free. :/ Not saying it's a good idea to do that.

[spugesdu]

@ghartsho Most people aren't dishonest thieving criminals.

[ghartsho]

@spugesdu True, but you'd be surprised how many people do that because software is expensive. I used to pirate software, then when my sister went to college and I purchased student editions of the software for lots less, using her ID card (Which she was fine with that).

[starwarslego12]

O wait, never mind. I see that in the description now

[starwarslego12]

Is the "contest logo" the picture at 0:04?

[supersuper841]

I'm already gonna get Stop Motion Pro 7.5, so thanks, but no thanks. Brilliant idea for a contest, though.

[brickproduction1815]

How are you delevering the prize to us

[jak12329]

I really think that less than two minutes is too short, because I won't be able to develop much of a story at all. I'm really dissapointed by this and would love to hear you change it to a bit longer.

[spugesdu]

@jak12329 The rules are the rules, but as it said in the rules longer entries will qualify for best film if the running time is justified.

[ryan18245]

can we enter a video we already made?

[DoMoProd]

@ryan18245 how about you read the rules

[spugesdu]

@ryan18245 That question is answered clearly in the rules. :)

[MrSlashblaster]

@spugesdu im gonna enter it's my first animation contest

[NewtownMovieSchool]

Attention Mac stop motion movie makers - beginner and experienced.

Get the ultimate guide to making stop motion movies on a Mac using iStopMotion, GarageBand and iMovie at stop-motion-handbook

Available in print or as an EPUB.

[cooldynamyteproducti]

Do we have to have iStopmotion for this?

I use monkeyjam.

[spugesdu]

@cooldynamyteproducti You can use whatever program you like to make your entry.

[greylonbrady]

@cooldynamyteproducti i use it too

[MarkyKart]

I will try to enter during Christmas Break..

[678LEGO]

i already have it but ill enter anyway :D

[REDSETTERPRODUCTIONS]

My first motion in a long time this will be.

[REDSETTERPRODUCTIONS]

I gave up stop motion so this will be my first in a loooooooooonnngggggg time. Myn might even have exclusive access to the JIS choir and instruments. I have a good idea. Great theme btw.

[TAOshows]

am doing it! ; )

[m1kut]

Once you follow the link how do you download it?

[spugesdu]

@m1kut Right click, 'save image as'.

[spugesdu]

@PhilipLackey42 That'd rather defeat the point of a Windows-specific prize, plus I'm not made of money. lol

[1065chris]

i dont understand the theme you mean its about someone descovering things?

[spugesdu]

@1065chris If that's how you interpret it, sure.

[koalakid11]

Time to make another stop motion :D

[frenchy2097]

I really want the software but I don't have anything to make the stopmotion :( (well that's decent)

[TheStickNik]

If I can enter I will, but I have also wanted to enter in the fourmonkeys competition, so I may just have to have twist endings!

[magnaguard69]

cool

[epicbricks03]

huh i just might enter

[TheLangers500]

Okay, should be interesting!

[321legofreak]

im entering



[razlatkin]

Ok, uhm... don't Mac users need iStopmotion for this?

[jak12329]

I'll definately be entering! But about the prizes for windows, I think Dragon Stopmotion is too expensive, so I suggest Stop Motion Pro.

[Ldsmotionz]

cool

[stripeline1]

So does the character have to say discovery?

[MrLegodirector]

But what if we don't have a mac computer?

[omarnol]

Yeah, another contest I shall enter!

[LegoGuys538]

I'm entering for sure!

[Bobskilintopia]

I wish I had a mac...

[2468legodude]

I`m entering but I will as soon as I get my new camera on christmas.

[electricanimations1]

@PhilipLackey42 thats a great idea!

[spugesdu]

@electricanimations1 Speak for yourself, I'm not made of money!!

[Legolord121]

Awesome prizes! Totally entering! Thanks for this!

[spugesdu]

@PhilipLackey42 I'm not made of money...

[spugesdu]

@PhilipLackey42 I'm not made of money...

[spugesdu]

@PhilipLackey42 You think I could afford 4 copies of Dragonframe? :P

[spugesdu]

@PhilipLackey42 You think I could afford 4 copies of Dragonframe? :P

[spugesdu]

@PhilipLackey42 You think I could afford 4 copies of Dragonframe? :P

[spugesdu]

@PhilipLackey42 You think I could afford 4 copies of Dragonframe? :P

[spugesdu]

@PhilipLackey42 You think I could afford 4 copies of Dragonframe? :P

[BKMPictures]

I might enter... might not...

[remake223]

This seems to be geared toward mac users, oh well

[spugesdu]

@remake223 Prizes for non-mac users will be announced soon, so if you have an idea it'll be worth working on it in the mean-time. ;)

[LEGOXTREME1325]

@spugesdu Oh thats a releif.

[LEGOXTREME1325]

@spugesdu I have an iPhone not a mac.

[spugesdu]

@LEGOXTREME1325 Cool story bro!

[LEGOMASTER641]

If i win (just saying) i have windows doenst istopmotion only work on mac

[joejedi11]

Cool

[koalalord145]

This seems like a lot of fun! I love how spugesdu adds his viewers to the stop motion community!
