 Time to announce the Animation Contest for 2018 Spring Edition. Throughout the years at the Academy, we used to do a 100 frame challenge animation contest during the spring or fall semester, and the contest rules were 100 frames, one week, final animation. You could use audio, no audio, you could use music, you could do multiple shots, whatever you want to, as long as it fit 100 frames. You can't go longer than 100. And the theme of the animation was something that we would come up in class and vote on, and then the theme would get announced, and then people animated for a week. And every now and then I open it up to not just the students in my class, but to everybody who wants to compete. And it's time to do the same for 2018 Spring Edition, and way back it used to be a contest prize of $50, and I think now, being 2018, it's time to raise it, and let's make this $100, plus an extra little gift which will be a surprise. So 100 frames, no more nor less, one week, full polish animation, all based on the theme that I will announce, email me, your quick time movie or a link to your movie, no Maya file, just your final movie, and preferably a good size, like 1080p, something like that. So if you are interested, there's the email, it's contestatspongela.com, I will also post all the information on my Spongela blog, everything is in the description below.
