Here we are in the last two weeks of November and I haven't had time to make the November animation comp. So it'll be combined with December's. There's only one month to complete it in though, as this comp is due on December 20th because it's: [size=7]A Christmas e-card.[/size] Yes, another e-card comp. Well, anybody who remembers that I promised an FX comp for November may be having a gentle weep right now, so here's the deal: The e-card will be judged on the following: Animation - 5 points Effects animation - 4 points Story - 4 points Sound - 4 points Colour - 3 points Replay value - 3 points Artwork and aesthetics - 2 points File size - bonus points - up to 5 extra points. Animation - Frame by frame animation will undoubtedly have the advantage here, but if you can pull off some awesome tweened animation, then you have just as much chance as a good FxF movie. Effects animation - Effects include obvious things like snow, smoke, dust, fire, magic, whatever.. but also include subtleties such as light and shadow. Story - The story and how well it is told. Note - a story doesn't necessarily mean a structured narrative. It could be a series of events that simply flow naturally, which would earn good points here. Sound - Includes sound effects, music, and of course sound quality. You may make your own sounds, or use royalty-free sounds. Colour - This doesn't mean your movie has to be colourful! It simply means that the colour scheme will earn points. For example, you can have a bluish theme throughout where everything is a shade of blue. That takes skill. A good example is Gobi's Halloween movie (PM link to me Gobi, I'll post it here). Replay value - This goes hand-in-hand with entertainment value, because any movie that makes the viewer hit replay scores highly. This also means 'send-on' value, where someone likes the movie so much, that they want to send it on to their friends. File size - There is no file-size limit for this comp, but all of the above factors will be taken into consideration and I'll make a judgement about whether or not the file size could be lower. If not, then you will get full points. Rules: 1- Dimensions - 600 x 300 2- MUST have preloader which tells the viewer the total file size being downloaded: e.g. Now loading 3.4MB. 3- MUST have a play button at the start, and a replay button at the end. 4- You may use any programs you like, but do not import photographs. 5- Everything must be your own work, except if you collaborate. You may use royalty-free sounds or music. 6- Collaboration is allowed, but if your entry takes 1st or 2nd place, you will need to share the prize. 7- File-size and movie duration is unlimited. 8- Due date is 20th December, I will announce the winner on the 22nd. 9- You may publish your entry at any time. It must be published before the 20th to qualify. 10- You may ask for feedback on the forum, and post W.I.P 11- DO NOT email any swfs to me. Please upload your entry to some webspace. 12- Your swf must be embedded in a HTML page. If you don't know how to do this, then drop by the Code forum. Links to a raw swf won't be accepted. Prizes: 1st Place - your choice of: Flash Hacks by Sham Bhangal, or Stop Staring by Jason Osipa. Plus a signed original pencil drawing of Bitey (yes, by me). Shipping included. 2nd Place - Amazon voucher for USD$15 Now go forth!! |

I probably shouldn't say that I'm in or else something terrible will befall my computer again. Um, but if I were entering, I'd definitely want to win that prize and would most certainly do my very best. If. *crosses fingers* |

although a green name is a prize in itself, a signed sketch by you would be a rare treasure! |

very nice adam, i want to get that flash hacks book
maybe ill actually stop procrastinating, and actually do a comp for once! oh btw, when u say it must be your own work, does that mean we cant incorporate things like brackenwood into our stories, or do you mean it has to all be drawn/animated by us?

Part of me wants to say Humble won last year.... but I also recall a wicked card that Com made as well..... Maybe Humble won Octobers, and Com took the Xmas card? ....Im soooo confused..... One of these days I am going to go through the forum and catalogue all the winners to every comp in the Resources section... |
