I'd love to see what others would come up with a theme like magic. I like it.
Okay, I'll do that. 
NEW THEME:
Magic
Animate something with magic, anything! A wizard transforming something, mixing potions, casting spells, friendship, et cetera.
Deadline: September 12th, no specific time, as long as it is on that day.
You can "Expecto" me to probably enter this. Lately I've become alot more organised, and was thinking of doing something with wizzards.
friendship,
HELL. YES.
If I have the time to work on this between school and FOS I will be entering.
Magic sounds great. I will be entering.
Wouldn't magic be more of a FX-based challenge than animation?
Well, I can't enter anyway. I will be on vacation all this week. Would've loved to, though!

No. You can make magic effects during animation, with bricks and tin foil and stuff like that.
Another great theme!
I would like to enter, but I don't think I'll be able to. I'm busy with the short I was going to make for the Reflections challange. School starts in two days, I'll have less time to animate.
Are visual effects allowed to supplement animation?
I would be greatly distraught if they weren't.
Wow, I'm glad everyone's liking this a lot. Looks likes this is going to be a good one.
Feel free to use visual effects, perfectly okay, but try not to have them be the main focus of it. I'd like to see some cool imaginative stuff.
A good example would be this one test animation I didn't release; I had a plain minifigure, next frame, I put a silver stud on his head, next frame a silver fire fighter helmet (With the brim in the back facing away from the camera), and for the last frame a full knight helmet, it created a very nice effect of transformation.
But still, I like special effects, just don't make it be completely effects.
If anyone wants to use this idea they can, a magician fight. A man fights a wizard and he makes his hands disappear while fighting or something like that. I don't know, feel free to use it. 
Darn, why all the good themes are when I'm on holidays? This theme is great, I could have thousand ideas for this (and the one before, of course, it was much mre challenging, but awesome theme anyway).
okay, i'm definantly entering this

I was sort of thinking there could be a challenge series just of FX, or what it could be is that there is 2 categories, one for just animation and another with effects...

Sounds purty awesome. I'll try and whip something up.

Premier Elements sped it up a lot, but that isn't a bad thing.
Now its harder to see the secrets.

Me and JamPot tried to start one (an FX challenge) but, sadly, it never took off.

Whoa, I loved the transformation effects. That was cool. Tad choppy, but nice.
JK and I are working on a co-production. It's a big project though, so no guarantee it'll be finished on time. We'll try our best.
