Hey, everyone.

This is a reprisal of an old contest that was held over at brickfilms.com back in 2005.

The point of this contest is to create a film with at least ten out of thirty lines of dialog that we give you. The film has to have at least ten of the lines that are listed. You can have your own dialog, but you have to include TEN of the lines that are listed.

Here's the winning entry from the last time it was held.

When the contest starts, a thread will be posted titled "Ten Lines Starts Now", which will have all the lines you can use.


Rules:


  • Your film HAS to have at least ten of the thirty lines listed in the thread to be posted when the contest starts.

  • Your film must have a minimum of at least 30 seconds of animation.

  • The film must feature primarily stop-motion animation with LEGO, or similar products (Mega Blox, Best-Lock etc.) Your entries may feature live-action, CGI, Flash or other kinds of animation as long as the stop-motion LEGO is the main focus.

  • Use of copyrighted material (music, sound effects, etc.) is permitted, but discouraged.

  • NO excessive violence, strong language or sexual themes. Mild violence and words like crap, hell, etc. are okay.

  • Make sure to include "Made for the Ten Lines Contest" in your opening or closing credits.

  • You can make more than one entry.

  • You can upload your entry to either YOUTUBE or VIMEO.

If you have any questions about the rules, do ask. Just make sure we haven't already answered your question in this thread.

Timeframe:

When the contest starts, a thread will be posted titled "Ten Lines Starts Now".

The contest starts on DECEMBER 26th, 2011 at 12:00 PM GMT, and ends TWO WEEKS LATER at the same time it starts. You have two whole weeks to make your film.


Judging:


Entries will be judged according to their use of the lines, storyline and execution.

The judges are Hazzat, Jargon, Littlebrick and myself.


Submission:

When you finish your entry, send a working link to [email protected]. The subject title should be "Ten Lines, [your username], [title of your film]".


Prizes:

Prizes will be determined at a later date.
______

Hope to see you there!

I'll whip something up.

Re: The Ten Lines Contest 2011/2012 [CLOSED]

YES.

Re: The Ten Lines Contest 2011/2012 [CLOSED]

Woohoo!

Re: The Ten Lines Contest 2011/2012 [CLOSED]

Personally I think having it launched in the next week would be better. Over the holidays people will have more time, and will probably be itching to try out new animating presents.

So, the week after Christmas would be better for most people?

The only problem about next week is that it would give me less time to get prizes- and I'm not exactly sure someone would be able to respond to me over the weekend. I want to get a bricklink store to sponsor, and normally bricklink stores take the weekend off.

I myself don't mind prizes. Specialized stores such as BrickWarriors, BrickArms, and BrickForge are usually easy to strike up a deal with, if you want prizes anyway.
