hey that’s an awsome list man … annoying rock still guard nd loosing something imp wats say !!!


#3

Wow,plenty to choose from there!!I like the “guy loses something important” plenty of scope for the range of emotions.:slight_smile:


#4

I would like to get in this time around, I think the best way to go now that 10secondclub is gone is the movie sound clip. More freedom that way and sound always helps a scene.


#5

hey i agree i miss 10 sec club thing can we have sound clips to play around with … i always some how miss the contest bt this time i’ll def make it !!!


#6

how about guy hears some music n it takes over his body n he starts dancin 2 it against his will??


#7

What a list…I dunno what to vote for.

My votes are…

Emotional or awkward stillness (just saw your pet get run over or walked into something embarrassing)
Animate to your favorite movie line (10 Second Club where are you!?!)
Getting hit by a projectile like a ball or a bullet.

I also like what musashidan voted for.

When is it finalized?


#8

I really like the - Annoying the still-as-a-rock Guard on duty, could be very funny


#9

It’s really safe to say that the “movie line (10 second club)” topic will always be available. But should you be able to pick your own quote or have an assigned quote just like the club? That’s the question.

My votes would be:
-Movie quote
-Guy loses something important.


#10

Hey what happened to 10 second club? Anyways, i like the idea of having a sound clip to animate to. Either a voice clip or a music clip would be cool.


#11

the talking to plants gave me an idea
malybe talking to baby or cute little animal and then a total change of emotion like turns and yells at someone then back to the baby

http://www.strutyourreel.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2352

looks like it’s moving to strutyourreel.com


#13

Wow, down for good eh? Or at least that’s what it sounds like from the thread on that site. Its too bad. At least they are going to pick it up on that other site, hopefully.


#14

I heard that the person doing it at Strutyourreel wont be able to pick it up either. Sounds like it might be dead for good. too bad.

Matt -

Well it shouldn’t be hard to pick it back up here. Just a random movie quote and good to go. I don’t think we’d be able to have a nice way to list the submissions or an an archive of previous animations on a server. But the important thing is to get back the contest.


#16

Maybe this Animation Session Forum will do just that.

I fully agree, this is a fun and constructive competition we have going here. This has been great practice for alot of us. The more animation competitions out there the more publicity animation will get as an art form. I embrace strut your reels future competition and i plan on competing in it. We should expand this competiton and make it more official on cgsociety. I will look into this.

Back to the competition. We should animate to a 5 second audio clip. That way we can keep the competion at three weeks. I think everyone should pick their own audio to animate to, while also recommending audio for others.


#18

I just realized that if we were to do an audio clip like 10 sec club, then it would be nice to have a month deadline.

I already have my audio picked out btw :slight_smile:


#19

What about the models? Are those provided or can we use our own?


#20

Use any rig you can get a hold of. Preferably something already made so you don’t have to spend time making one.
