Topic: Magical Stop Motion COMPETITION from Smoovie [CLOSED]

Smoovie for the Mac. Everything you need to make your own stop motion movies and share them with the world.

To celebrate the release of Smoovie on the Mac App Store and the arrival of LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 on the Mac, we're running a competition for LEGO fans of all ages.

Make your very own stop motion movie with a magical theme. You're free to use any props you wish in your movie - LEGO, Plasticine, stuffed toys - anything can come to life with stop motion. Or why not try some classic animation with pen and paper?

Be creative, use your imagination and have fun!

PRIZES

The winner will receive the fantastic LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle (worth £102.99 GBP, $129.99 USD) and their own copy of the LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 game for the Mac.

Two runners up will each receive a copy of the LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 game for the Mac.

CLOSING DATE

The closing date for entries is 30th April 2011. So start animating today!!

This looks pretty cool. I've moved it to Contests and Festivals, but if any mod disagrees with me, feel free to move it back.

I might end up making a short entry for this, but we'll see.

Looks fantastic. Since I don't own a MAC, If I win, I most likely just sell the game. The castle draws me mini/love what a great prize- I'll be sure to enter.

Hi topitmunkeydog,

Of course we would love it if you did use Smoovie to make your film but you really don't have to mini/smile

We're just looking forward to seeing how creative you guys can be!

Smoovie, this is probably a weird question but...

...when you mean magical do you mean magic or something amazing?

I use the word magical a lot when I'm describing things so I just wanted to be clear.

Hi TheLegoCammster7,

We meant magical as in Abracadabra, wands and so on.

Thanks for checking as it will probably help others too.

Can't wait to see your entry mini/smile

If only I could enter TMH, but that wouldn't be fair, or allowed. Maybe I'll make a sequel to it! mini/delirium

Hopefully I'm going to start in the next few days, but first I'm going to make a test, because I've now got a mac I need to properly try out my new stuff, and I'll probably post it here so you guys can help me improve.
Anyone else started yet? mini/bigsmile

This sounds interesting. I would have tried to do it with Star Wars action figures (with magic of course), but don't know yet. (unorginal, I know)

Why are you looking at my signature?
Mod edit: Your signature started it.
... Oh yeah.

In the category of magic, would a film about ghosts be allowed?
