Animation Challenge #5: Voting for Animation and Topic suggestions

#8

Hi everyone, great work to everyone that participated.

Vote:

Trazza

SirRon

jpencilworks

Announcement:

The next challenge will also have two animations to choose from. I will choose a topic and an audio clip, and there will be a vote for the animation without the audio. You only have to animate one or the other but you can do both if you feel up to it.

SirRon and I are the unofficial moderators for the animation acting challenges. We are trying to get official competition status so until then we will have to do without the luxury of stickies. As SirRon said we greatly appreciate your comments on how to improve the competition.

If anyone would like to help with the challenges send Me or SirRon an email.

jpencilworks- I like your idea of only having three choices to choose from. I will use this for the next challenge. The next audio clip will be anywhere from 5 to 10 seconds. Remember your animation can be as long as you want, it does not have to be the length of the audio. I will keep your idea in mind about animating to a length of time like 100 frames. Is this something found in the games industry?

Vote:
1st place: Mandeep
2nd place: Tie b/w Trazza and Jpencilworks.

About list of new topics:
I feel that there really should be only 1 topic- only 1 body motion clip or only 1 sound clip.

From the view point of a prospective competitor animating on only 1 topic will allow me to compare my work with others and see whether I’ve gone wrong/ what I could’ve done better. In that way everyone gets better.

From the viewpoint of a non-competetive voter -again its easier to compare everyones work and try and find out whats making the good animation look good. That way we kind of have an objective measurement system.

I’ll vote for any one of these topics to be picked up for the next challenge:
*Martial arts
*gymnastics
*classic lift
*a moving walk, with a twist (i.e. not a cycle)
*Perform an athletic event
*‘Back to basics’ (Animation Mentor like bouncing ball assignments, but must show at least 3 animations for the duration of the challenge)

#14

my votes are drum roll
Trazza

SirRon

jpencilworks

and for the topic drum roll

*live grenade toss (ball bieng passed) sounds like a laugh
*addiction temptation sounds fun too
*Change of emotion

Amit_S: I agree with what you are saying. Although the main reason we have two animation choices for the challenge is to allow more users to join in. Whats nice about animating to a non-audio topic is the freedom to not follow a path, and to animate in any direction you choose. And an audio topic is good because it gives you the chance to animate a main character that you would get working for a studio. Ideally there will be more than one entry in both topics, so you will be able to learn from someone who animated the same topic as you. If no one else animated the same topic as you be sure to ask many questions about your work (everyone likes to give c&c :slight_smile: ).

yeah well done Trazza!

It would be great to see this ‘session’ grow, as what with the 10 sec club now somewhat defunct…I need to get my fix of animation challenges from somewhere!

Hurry up with the next challenge and let keep this ball rolling
