Yes after a long delay the series comes back. Why the delay, well many reasons. The collab annoyance factor was at an all time high (still is?) and TT veterans were out of town. Anyways all you need to know is that its back with a new set of challenges none of which will deal with sharing music since everyone and their momma is doing that right now. On with the rules!
NG Time Trial 16
The Challenge : Create a movie in which the environment/weather plays an active role throughout the movie.
*what this means is that it must rain/snow/sleet/be noticeably windy/ noticeably hot/ cold/ etc. Since most of us use backgrounds as just a secondary aspect of our animations I thought that for this challenge we would turn the tables and make the environment become its own 'character' in the movie ... so the goal is not so much about making the environment THE subject matter but rather having it play a ROLE in the subject matter you choose to persue. big difference.
