Great job everyone! Wow, it’s pretty hard to pick 2 from the audio category.

But my vote goes for…

Audio Clip Animation:
desktopepics
jpencilworks

Awkward Stillness Animation:
AuloLicinio (Glad you did the “awkward” stillness while I did the “emotional” :))

Topic Suggestion:
Opening Pandora’s Box
Video game death animation
Using a shield to block attacks
Dying of thirst or hunger
Show us some dance moves! (This would be fun to put everyone’s animations together with some dance music)
Trying to sleep but neighbors are too loud

Feedback:
Next time we’ll try to get a front page plug so more people know about these challenges. But we need an image to go with the plug. Dudeacle and I thought of taking a frame from one of the winning animations and using that as the graphic. So whoever wins will have their animation shown for the “starting challenge #7” plug. Would everyone be open to have a frame of your animation for it?

#5

you vote two in the Audio category and one in the Stillness category. :slight_smile:

#6

Luminou,
Sphere

Good job to all the animators. I never posted mine because I was unhappy with my straight ahead pose. But, learning every step of the way. Hope to see you all on the next challenge.

SirRon: Yes we need a plug for our challenges. Using a screen grab from one of the winning animations would be cool. We need to do it quickly so it can go up before the next challenge starts.

**** Vote Correction *****

I’m so embarrassed. Please forgive me … my vote goes to SirRon based on my lack of ability to read. Regardless of how the kind moderator adjusted the current topic title, I’m certain that was a topic I just didn’t read in the previous forum threads during the contests beginning.

Please don’t let my idiocy reflect poorly on this wonderful system and crew of talented animators collectively. We all did such wonderful work and I’m just stupid.

:applause::buttrock:<---- what the hecks a ‘buttrock’??? It looks more like ‘Rock on!’

Topic Suggestion:

I loved the pass the ball concept. For those who like basketball, some really funky arial routines would be CRAAAAAAZZZZZZYYYYYYY (as long as we all passed the ball at the same left hand side of the screen)

Awkward Moment:

A very VERY difficult decision, but if I had to go by the exact meaning of ‘awkward moment’, I have to give it to AuloLincinio.

(sorry, Sir Ron … hands down, yours gave a GREAT performance and it took me a whole day to mull it over because it was going to you and you alone! But that nagging feeling I had was ‘awkward’, and I ‘felt’ tragic or devastated. AuloLincinio nailed it with the ‘Awkward’)

Oh no! I just realized the topic is EMOTIONAL or Awkward Stillness. Sirron’s animation falls under the EMOTIONAL stillness category of the topic. I am going to make the correction to the voting headline. Desktopepics please change your vote to sirron, because with what you said Sirron should get your vote.

#16

i can not see the animation, why ?
who can tell me ? how to see the animation?

#17

Haha, don’t worry about it desktop :slight_smile: I really appreciate you thinking about the animation and how it relates to the topic, even if you did miss the ‘emotional’ part.
