Re: BiM Celebration Animation Contest

If you're between 29 and 31 seconds and have already submitted, don't worry about it. I am only going to enforce this to the intent of the rule, not the letter of it.

That said, most (all?) editing software should have a timeline that lets you see how long your film is.

Re: BiM Celebration Animation Contest

Apparently my editing program is not professional enough. It doesn't show the exact time. I'll be fine. I have to go with no titles though because my single-shot film is just that long.

Re: BiM Celebration Animation Contest

Three entries so far! Keep 'em coming!

Re: BiM Celebration Animation Contest

Print the release form onto paper and fill it out (with parental signature), then scan it onto the computer with a scanner and email the scanned page to bricksinmotionfilm(AT)gmail.com, with an @ sign in place of (AT).

You buy one.  You can find them at most office supply stores.

Re: BiM Celebration Animation Contest

Print the release form on a printer and fill it out with a pen. If you don't have a scanner, there are free apps that allow smartphones to scan documents, such as CamScanner for iOS and Android.

Ok Thanks! How much does it cost? Never mind, I have too many questions! mini/dizzy

Re: BiM Celebration Animation Contest

I wish I could be a part of this so bad. I have a million ideas for this contest.

Ironically enough I'm too busy working on a large brickfilm project, and with school (and a possibly a new internship) starting it's going to be hard just finishing that. mini/sad

Best of luck to everyone.

Re: BiM Celebration Animation Contest

Well the script for my current project still isn't done, so maybe I could attempt this in the mean time.
Quite tempting.

Have a nice day! mini/smile

Re: BiM Celebration Animation Contest

So what do I put in the email I send and what do I put in the PM? Why would I do a PM if I could just send an email?

You email them the jpeg or pdf copy of the signed release form, and pm them the youtube or vimeo link of your entry.

Re: BiM Celebration Animation Contest

Submitted my entry.

Re: BiM Celebration Animation Contest

We have to have a permanent record of the release forms that we can access and search easily, but it's easier for judges to access the PM box for the purpose of judging. Hence the two-step process.

Re: BiM Celebration Animation Contest

While I understand that for judging Vimeo and YouTube uploads are easiest. Wouldn't providing the original video file be of much better quality for the DVD rather than attempting to download the compressed YouTube videos?

DVD's are already standard definition so the difference wouldn't be that noticeable.

Re: BiM Celebration Animation Contest

We're not finalizing the DVD until the end of November; Doug will contact the entrants to acquire the highest quality version of the video for the DVD after the contest is over.
