Topic: VABAC

(I can't access the Contests area)

Welcome to the official VABAC thread!

What is VABAC you ask? It stands for Vets And Beginners Animation Contest!


VABAC is a contest designed to get new people brickfilming. Each VABAC entry film is a joint entry by a brickfilmer ("Vet") and a non-brickfilmer ("Beginner").



VABAC Vocab: DOUBLE V!

Animation: "Stop Motion Animation"
Beginner: Someone who has never animated
LEGO: YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT!!!
Mod Element: Something that must appear in every shot
Vet: Someone who HAS brickfilmed before



Rules:

Only 2 persons per team (1 vet, 1 beginner)
Beginner MUST contribute 10%
Mod Elements MUST BE USED. They will be announced in the "VABAC STARTS NOW!" thread".
Oh yeah, it must be a brickfilm mini/wink


I cannot stretch the importance of following soon.

More rules, dates, updates and maybe a prize or two COMING SOON!

Why - of all places - did you put this in the site feedback part of the forum?

Re: VABAC

But why in the Site Feedback? It could be in the Bricks or something else.
Anyways, I believe it was decided that VABAC wasn't going to be started soon. Also, 10% is too little to animate. At LEAST make it 25%, although they're a Beginner, they still need to do some work.

Re: VABAC

I've moved this to "bricks" for the time being.  Until you have this contest fully worked out with timing, any prizes, and and members interested in participating, I don't know that it is suitable for the "Contests" forum.

Re: VABAC

So the beginner won't even have to animate? They can contribute the 10% in other ways? How would you know if they contributed then?

I think the beginner should work more. Maybe 50%? If the beginner is just sitting aside, will he/she think making films is fun and join this community?

I would probably do-
1- $40 (2X $20)
2- $20 (2X $10)
3- $10 (2X $5)
Just a suggestion mini/smile

Re: VABAC

How are you supposed to know who's a veteran and who's a n00b? Well, LotL is obviously a vet, bot who's a n00b?

My old YouTube is since long ago defunct - now even removed.
Here is my new one.
