Would be a big fxwars, good thing you saved some of the better bigger challenges.

Could be a way of trying to get other people involved in the pipeline also. :thumbsup:

Cool R, Will shots be filmed by us or will shots be provided?

#51

I am trying to see what I can get…

More soon

#52

I would really need provided footage. If not, I suppose I and many people wouldn’t be able to do it.

#53

Oh BTW:

[li]STORYBOARD/CONCEPT ART for “The Magic Wand”[/li][/ul]

#54

If the shots is supposed to be filmed by us, could we have the option for doing a clone duel?

#55

I have no problem with that…

I only have one warning to all participants.

The quality of the of the finished filmed shorts HAS TO BE HIGH.
A non budget production does not have the excuse that it cannot
a decent production.
(Long time members of the forum know why I am giving this warning)

Two more things…
[ul]
[li]The shots can be fully CG if desired.[/li][li]And they can be done from a STATIC shot or a still[/li][/ul]Here is an example of the kind of entries that I would love to see (this one has it all):

Well something has come up

(I have been invited to do some interviews at Carnegie Mellon University)
This means that I might have to push back the magic Wand Challenge since I will be busy as
hell.

Until Then we can do the Flying car challenge…
And I have some surprises for the background plates.
