Topic: Match-up Animator - Community Collaboration Competition

OK, well to start with I'd like to know if you think I should do this now or later, as I am running a few projects at the moment, but first remember to read to the end.

So to start with what this is could be branded a match-up sort of thing, however with animation being the subject of the matter I'm a bit unsure that title could fit it. So what happens is basically you fill out the questionnaire below, with what camera you use, what FPS you shoot at, and what style of animation and story you would prefer. Then PM me your answers! So then what? Well, as soon as someone with 3 or more answers the same as yours I'll match you up! Then it'll up to the two chosen people to make a collaboration video.

Collaborators
1. Eagle Animations & Lil' jj
2. Goldencamerastuidos & MPfisto
3. BertL & JustKidden
4. KinzCove & RealBrick
5. LegoDudez & Skwizitanee
6. Snail3productions & MartyLego
7. ZP & TheBuilderBrothers
8. AncientEngine & MadLibs

The Questionnaire

1. What camera do you use?
2. What resolution do you shoot in?
3. Which animation style is your preference? i.e Comedy, Quick, etc.
4. What FPS do you use?
5. What type of stories do you like to make in your animations?
6. Do you get many flickers?
7. Which time-zone are you in?
8. What animators do you aspire to?

Send it to me via PM and I'll update you daily on weather or not you have received a likely or definite partner. If by any chance your partner has to drop out you'll be put back on the list, so no fear. As for your film, simply go about it is as you want! Discuss about the script, scenes, etc.

And, when it's finished the entries will be all presented and showcased together! Plus there'll also be an awards show giving off awards for best overall, best sound, best duo, etc. Though there is no confirmed prizes, the whole experience will hopefully satisfy your needs! So what are you waiting? Start sending in your answers now!

Not a great question. Surely 'What resolution'?

Re: Match-up Animator - Community Collaboration Competition

So this like a mini-contest, but only people who are equal in animation stuff fight the other team?

Sort of, but there's no fighting. It's about teaming up and experimenting with animation. Another option is that I match up random people, but I'm not sure... how would you all feel about it?

Very interesting concept, I like this idea. Honestly, you've come up with so many things, it's unbelievable! I'll send you a PM with my info.

Re: Match-up Animator - Community Collaboration Competition

I'd do this, but only during summer, I got no time to even do my own ideas.

Re: Match-up Animator - Community Collaboration Competition

Got yours JustKidden. I have a good few matches so far, so I'll update the first two tonight. By the way MadLibs, I didn't get your entry. Try re-sending it, or double check that I'm actually the recipient.

EDIT: First collaboration pair is now in! And I got yours, KinzCove.

Since this is a contest, sort of, when's the deadline?

Well, I have various options. Either when 5 - 10 pairs are complete, I set various challenges for the teams to complete, and the one with the most wins. OR, I leave everyone make a film and then give various awards an' stuff. What do you guys think?
