Short Answer: No. 
It wouldn't be fair for those that only spent two weeks on their entries if you suddenly enter something you've spent the last year working on. Plus, a pre-made film won't be able to properly channel the creativity and direction that this contest will try to foster.[/quote]
That's what I expected, but thanks for clarifying.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Sorry, we settled this via PM and I forgot that the public question here needed one as well. The conclusion was that a CGI entry would not qualify.  Here's an edited and condensed answer.

[quote]Our contests seek to encourage traditional stop-motion, hence the requirement for the film to be primarily stop-motion. Live action and CG elements/effects can be present depending on the contest, but the focus must still remain in line with our site focus. Keyframing a CG animation every single frame, while also requiring lots of work and attention on each frame, lacks that tactile, real-world element that characterizes the "stop-motion animation" we focus on.

If you wish to create a film that follows the EASTER guidelines and release it separately, feel free! However, CG allows far more freedom and control over traditional stop-motion that puts those styles into very different categories.[/quote]

Thank you,]]></content>

Stop-motion style CGI?[/quote]
I would wait for a response from an moderator, but I believe that CGI is allowed, just not 100% CGI.  You need stop-motion components.  CGI should only be used to add to sets, vfx, or difficult shots.   Correct me if I am wrong, mod.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Hi AFK, you are right to an extent. Yes, CGI is not stop motion - however, the only way to make CGI look like stop motion is by manually moving each character limb for each frame - essentially the exact same thing as done with real-life stop motion. The same thing basically, you just end up moving the character on the screen rather than real life - which actually makes the process a lot more time-consuming. This is the disadvantage. The advantage of computer based stop motion is the availability to free sets as opposed to buying lego.

Having said this, I fully understand if it cannot be entered into this competition :)]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Good question. 
Because this is a stop-motion website, our contests require submissions to be primarily stop-motion animation with Lego or a Lego-like product. 

For example, the wording on our last contest, THAC 2020, read like this:
"Your entry must consist of primarily LEGO (or similar building block toy) stop motion animation. Live action, CGI, and hand drawn animation are allowed but stop motion must be the primary focus."

This may be the perfect opportunity for you to branch out into physical stop-motion animation! I've seen some incredible films done with few resources. If you don't have a webcam or DSLR, your phone camera can even work. Getting a stop-motion app, your phone, and a little Lego is all you really need to leap in. You've even still got a few more days to practice up before the contest even begins! You can do it!]]></content>
