Hey all!
I'VE JUST ANNOUNCED THE THEME FOR THE 2016 DRAW WITH JAZZA ANIMATION CHALLENGE!
There's a cintiq, 3 intuos pro's and an intuos draw up for grabs plus Creative Cloud Subscriptions and more, the prizes are fucking insane! A compilation of the entries will be made for NG after the winners are announced.
Use this thread to share ideas and WIP's
DEADLINE:
September 26th 2016
THEME:
Participants must animate an expressive, silly and over-the-top looped walk cycle.
The animation must be 30 FPS (Frames Per Second), with the loop duration being a total of between 20-60 frames. The walk cycle may be looped several times, but the maximum duration of the final video must be a maximum of 1 minute long.
The walking character must be centered in the video and remain in place in full profile view, facing the left side of the frame. The character may be walking in an environment (cityscape, space station etc.) moving behind him, and the environment may include ambient animation, but must not contain any additional characters.
Entries will be judged on the animation quality and execution, the creativity of the walk and motion, its physicality, humor and visual appeal. Entries may be entirely tweened, frame by frame animated, or anything in between. 2D hand drawn stop motion animation (‘traditional’) is also allowed.
