The contest ran over the last weekend, with about 60 teams involved. As usual, little sleep during the 7PM Friday to 7:30PM Sunday contest (coffee), followed by dropoff party (alcohol).

:gulp: -> %-P

We drew the Crime/Gangster genre, with required elements a dollar bill prop, the line "I can do that" and the Character S. Frances, a teacher. The 4 minute animation was done in Carrara using mostly DAZ3D Poser content. The premiere theater screenings are next week, after which I can upload the video. Here is the allowed 48 second trailer.

    Thanks, but that's not too likely with ~60 teams in it, many of which are large and experienced with specialists in each area. But its a fun challenge, and if somebody doesn't like it, you can say, "Well, we only had two days."

    Thanks, Ivy. I really like some of the models I used - Skull Cove, Fun In The Sand, the Ant Farm's "Never ..." series of buildings. Happily I don't have to learn to model. :coolsmile:

    Thanks, sounds like a fun party. (You might want to rent a movie as well, since "Summer's Last Day" only runs 4 minutes.;-) Maybe "Triplets of Belleville", a great feature length animation that many have not seen ... or even heard of ...)

    Our video screens at the Houston theater Wed. 15 May at 7PM, with about a dozen entries total. About half the tickets are already sold, and I expect it to sell out due to other team members wanting to see their film on a big screen (same as us). Its always a little nerve wracking waiting for the audience response at the end. They are always polite, since most realize how difficult it is to do a video from scratch in 2 days. But its nice when the applause is a little warmer than polite.

    I should have it up on YouTube late next week.

    The contest has a drawing on the first night for a genre, we drew "Crime/Gangster". There are also three required elements, listed in my first post above. The "topic" of our video was really a young boy's imagination, inspired by Hollywood movies, toys, and an available sand box. It is also the last day of summer, so one last adventure before school starts.
    :wow:

    BTW, the complete video is now available, see a later topic in this Forum.
