Topic: SHAC 2 Announcement Thread!
Shaq, or Shaquille O’Neal, is a retired Basketball player. But that’s not what we’re here for.
SHAC is a brickfilming contest that lasts 72 hours… So 3 days. Or 1 weekend.
Similar to THAC and BRAWL, SHAC requires entrants to brainstorm, write, record, film, edit, and submit a brickfilm within a set time limit.
Challenging, but fun.
This contest will begin on Friday, March 8th, 2019 at 12pm (midday) EST and will run for 72 hours. It will end on Monday, March 11th, 2019 at 12pm (midday) EST.
That gives just about every timezone a clean Saturday & Sunday for animation – with another day split up between Friday and Monday.

Anyone & Everyone! You don’t have to be a registered BricksinMotion.com member to enter! Just make sure you stick to the rules, and you’ll be fine.
The rules are pretty simple:
Your work must be entirely made & submitted within the 72 hour period.
The mod elements must appear in your film. (more on that later)
Your entry must consist of at least 30 seconds of Lego or similar building-block toy animation.
No mature/explicit content is allowed.
And make sure to keep your entry unlisted before the deadline has passed!
Feel free to make brickfilms featuring copyrighted/trademarked properties, however, be mindful of copyright – especially on youtube.
The contest theme & mod elements will not be announced until the day of the contest.
To prove that your film was made within the time limit, it must contain the mod elements. For this contest, they are:
A Color Mod
This will be a combination of two random brick colors that will need to be connected, touching, or overlapping.
A Letter/Number Mod
This will be one of the 26 letters of the modern English alphabet or a number between 0 and 9.
These mod elements must be present in every shot of your film. You do NOT need to use both. You could combine them, use just one, or use just the other! Do it any way you see fit. Just make sure that at least one is visible in every shot.
A Sound Mod
A randomly chosen sound clip will be provided upon announcement of the contest. This must appear in your film. NOT during the credits. And NOT after the ending credits. This sound can be reversed, or digitally altered in any way, so long as it is still clearly the sound clip.
To Reiterate:
Your film must contain either the Color Mod, Letter Mod, or both in every shot. AND, you must also include the Sound Mod.
The Judges will be Dylan Johnson (myself), The Login Productions, OneBrickShy and two further judges who will be revealed at the start of the contest.
Entries will be judged based on originality, animation, set & costume design, cinematography, sound, story, and interpretation of the theme.
All entries will be publicly ranked.
The top three places will each receive a sealed collectible minifigure!
Plus, another of the accepted entrants will be eligible for the random draw to receive a collectable minifigure as well! To keep things fair, this entrant will be randomly selected based on their final ranking number – thus the need to list all rankings publicly.
This year, 1st place will also receive the grand prize of a Shaquille O’Neal minifigure!
Aside from the rule addition of adding numbers to the possible letter mod, this contest will be the same as it was last year.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them down below.
And remember to have fun!
