Ok lets get the next challenge going. 
Any suggestions? (and check the winners list on the first page before suggesting, please)
How bout flipping. Or jumping a motorcycle.Or talking without FX. Or blinking without FX.
I was considering talking without fx. (it's one thing I found challenging when making short films instead of tests.)
Does everyone like the idea? Example of great talking without fx: http://youtu.be/TMXKTQnt9HI
Do you mean talking without SFX, or mouth animation without SFX?
If you mean just talking, I'll enter, if not, I probably won't.
That example is straight up basic talking, and is by far the easier of the two. It's not that hard, and it's more fun.
If want you just a fun little contest, sure. But if you're looking for a more challenging action, I'd say go for the mouth animation.
I'd rather talking, just to throw my opinion out there, not that it matters. 
Go for mouth animation without Special effects
I don't want mouth animation my example should have shown that. (besides if you wanted to do that you should of done it for replacement animation like I did).
So.....is everyone O.K. with just plain talking?
Here's the challenge:
Talking
Objective: Create realistic body, head, and arm movements synced with a conversation (The humor of it will act as a tie breaker if needed)
Good examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzNKF2j1yhQ and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMXKTQnt9HI
Deadline: 9:00 pm pacific coast time April 22
This is a good challenge. It's something that can be used for almost every film and it's something almost everybody needs work on.
Now, this doesn't mean I'm going to enter. I never enter these things because I wait too long and then it ends and I'm left with this weird little animation totally out of context and I'm like what do I do with this this is no good.
But you made a good decision here. We need more like this.
Ooh man, this might be tricky.
I'm interested but confused. Talking is a broad theme...

Alright smart one. I was confused by this.
(The humor of it will act as a tie breaker if needed)
Does this mean it has to be funny? If it's just animation and dialogue coordination then why would humor separate the winners? Humour has nothing to do with this challenge. Right?
Humor has nothing to do with it but in the unlikely chance of a complete tie the funniest one would win.

Do you think it's okay to enter some work I was doing this week... I wasn't making it for this animation challenge...

If it hasn't been released it's fair game, the community settled on that a while ago. 
L'entrée I just got done with the color corrections and editing stuff. So here it is.
