The Great Animation Challenge!
Animation Forum WM and the organisers of Flip Animation Festival have teamed up to launch The Great Animation Challenge! Here’s how it works:
We provide animators across the UK with a number of songs by up-and-coming bands to animate music videos to over the next three months. Submitting them via our Vimeo Group, the best and brightest offerings will then be screened at a special event in Wolverhampton’s Light House Cinema on 21st July 2009.
The bands supplying tunes are Pram (Domino Records), Epic 45 (Make Mine Music) and last year’s Levi’s Ones to Watch tips Laurel Collective (Double Six) and Beat To Paris.
To enter the contest, simply:
• Download one or more of the tracks found here
• Create an animated music video for the track(s) of your choice
• Upload the finished video(s) to The Great Animation Challenge Vimeo Group anytime before the 6th July deadline
• Contact david.luke.allen@bcu.ac.uk with your full name, email address, phone number and the title of your short
• The animators behind the best shorts will then be contacted in July for a screening copy of the piece.
The contest is open to animators across the UK at all levels (entries by studios are welcome) and the winner of the best short will receive a subscription to Imagine Magazine and a copy of The Imagine Animation Directory at the Light House screenings on 21st July 2009.
