Yeah, I'm trying to use this year's NATA as an opportunity to learn 3d by actually committing to it for a longer time than a week. Although, for this first round, I'm trying to make the 3d look as 2d as possible so that I can have hand-drawn/painted backgrounds and stuff without it looking out of place.

Somebody enjoyed Paperman

I'm guessing because the event is sponsored and NATA makes money off of this. Same reason they dont allow trademarked names

Note the word "excess" and "profane" - nudity is fine, just milking it for score is bad. Art-like nudity should be totally fine imho as long as it doesn't feel forced in in my humble opinion.

Ryry67dude, the copyright rule has nothing to do with the profanity rule. The purpose of the profanity rule is to keep the contest in good taste and to expand your audience.

It's not a joke. The creator of this contest created it due to someone pulling April Fool's in the past.

interesting, I might eneter

Um I have a question so when uploading the video do I put in the tags ie "NATA13 Or just NATA13 can some one type exactly how it has to go in... Please... Thank you

No quotation marks are needed in the tag.
Also, I don't see a problem with including Pico in your entry, so long as it still fits the theme and was made with this contest in mind.

Letz animate;):);):)

Am I allowed to modify an unfinished, work-in-progress and tailor it to this contest? It's work-in-progress and has never been submitted anywhere and hasn't gotten much of its story done yet.

Are we available to submit multiple entries? if yes how many?

Almost finished the storyboards, gonna start to animate in the next day or two...

Yes - if it's tailored under the topic, I don't see a single reason why not.

Yes - if it's tailored under the topic, I don't see a single reason why not.

From my understanding, the reason the topic is in place is to prevent people from using work they'd worked on prior to the competition.

By that logic, I'm gonna say that's probably not allowed, but if you start from scratch, you can probably use the same idea. If you ask me, though, you shouldn't sacrifice a project you've already worked on just to squeeze it into the competition theme.

I should clarify. I mainly want to use the assets from that project, and only a slight piece of the "finished" parts and modify them to the competition. I won't be sacrificing anything because the reason it's unfinished is because it has been abandoned already. There's nothing for me to do with it and no motivation to even finish it as it is :).

^-- Basically this. You shouldn't use stuff you've made already, since that gives you an edge on the competition. I know it sucks, but we need a level playing field here. :)

Also, re: multiple entries: No. Only one entry is allowed per animator.
and don't try to submit multiple entries with multiple usernames. It's been done before and it's always really obvious.

Gotcha. I'll see what original material I can animate a couple days before the deadline...since the deadline is on the day of my last Final + senior showcase haha.
