 Welcome back. It is yet another announcement for the 100 frame animation contest. That's right. Another semester has come to an end. This is the fall semester for the Academy and usually what we do at the end This is an actual assignment for the students. They have to produce 100 frames of animation within one week from zero to polish And this has been going on for a couple years other in the last couple of times I have opened it up to the worldwide web so that everybody can submit if they want to so what is the 100 frame contest? Basically, you have one week to animate 100 frames. You can go less if you don't think can't go more You can add music if you want to you can add sound effects You don't have to you can animate in 2d 3d start motion whatever medium you want The only requirement is besides the 100 frame limit is it has to fit the topic So next week Friday, I will post the topic announced There's a link in the description with the playlist where you can see what topics have been used before how the whole thing works And what people have submitted but today's the announcement that next week I will post two topics because I'm teaching two classes right now So the Tuesday and Thursday class we will wiggle down and vote until we get a specific topic in the Tuesday class as a topic And the Thursday class at a topic although they can both choose so since they're opening this up Anybody wants to submit and join can choose from those two topics and people have submitted all kinds of things But generally it's 24 frames a second 3d animation character animation But if people want to do motion graphics or anything else or it's totally fine It's just the general thing of it should match the topic that I posted and 100 frames max and when I get all the Submissions, I have a couple of friends We will look at all the animation and we will vote on the quote-unquote subjective winner and the winner gets $100 And that is either PayPal or something else or order something from Amazon or somewhere else Or you can get an equivalent of $100 which is three critiques from my workshop So you can choose which one you want to do that's totally up to you that because this is the internet People will always complain if people will always have something to say just to clarify the 100 frame animation contest It's actually an exercise. It's an assignment that I have at the Academy of Art That's the last assignment for their semester, but I thought it would be fun to open it up. So the 100 bucks That's what I paid. That's what I paid them. That's it. Now if you feel like this is stingy, you know what? Let's partner. Let's collaborate. You want to contribute you want to add more money to this awesome If the company watches this let's collaborate if you have a product to give away. Let's do that Let's raise the stakes totally fine ice contribute $100 and that's it. If you don't like it That's how it goes. And again, you don't have to submit I don't see how I'm taking advantage unless you feel like what you submitted I'm putting that on YouTube and I gained views. So I'm taking advantage of that You don't have to submit everybody needs a platform I will be posting all the submissions that are received as a separate clip I will post it on Twitter as well. I am providing a platform as well. So again, don't like it You don't have to submit. So if you feel like that's too much of a control free thing to you Well, it is my competition. This is from my students. I'm opening it up. These are the rules That's how it goes again. You have control over your own decisions. You don't have to submit You don't have to do that. But again, anybody want to collaborate let's work together. That would be awesome Why not? But that's it. That is the announcement next week Friday morning announcement of the two topics And then you have one week to email me your submissions again The link in description has all the information about what's the email the dates and everything So feel free to go through that comment if you want you have any questions any concerns anything that you want me to explain Or go into I told you up to you and that is that so see you next week for the announcement and after that.
