[quote=Zophia in the First Animation Contest]Alrighty, this has been brewing in the artistic minds of a few AGers lately - an animation contest!
Similar to the Art Skills Competition we need a few rules in place (largely copy/pasted, so credits to Carlie for parts of this):
1. Must be hand drawn, either on paper or in a program (Pivot is allowed). It can then be manipulated in an graphics program (GIMP is a nice free one with a build in animation filter - google it). Copyrighted images cannot be used. All pieces containing copyrighted images will be disqualified.
2. Submissions must follow the current theme. If you submit more than one piece, please clarify which one you would like to be judged.
3. If your animation is larger than 630 pixels wide, please provide a link to the animation instead of posting it in the forum. Otherwise, the animation will be cut off.
4. Artists cannot win in subsequent weeks. You can still submit, but if you won the week before, you cannot get first place again the next week. Unless only one person submits......let's hope that doesn't happen![/quote]

First Theme will be: Balloon Darts

Just show someone/thing popping a balloon with a dart in any possible way.

I'll judge (unless someone else would like to), and no offense but I don't want a noob judging.

Deadline: November 12th

Good luck kiddos!

Well congrats Commander Though had Puppyguy entered ealier you wouldn't have made it so keep working at it! I hope a lot of people enter with this theme, i tried to keep it vague. Camping seems a little constricted, so i made is just Camp, BandCamp, Summer Camp, any kind of camp/camping will be acceptable use your imagination! As long as I can tell that it fits the theme.

Oh and i forgot to ask, do you all have any feedback about the judging? good or bad?

Hi, this is my entry:


'Why Leaving Bear Traps Around Is A Bad Idea'

http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/5185/beartrapparody.gif

Do any of you know how to make it stay at the desired FPS when you save it as a gif?

Because this was made at 33 fps and looked BRILLIANT but at the fps it is now it is just laggy. This really annoys me.

Hmm i've never had trouble with my FPS, when i save, I always do: Save as .gif > all the things are Checked > Resize: 100% > Super Sample 3
idk...

Nice entries so far!

Hmmm....may i post my anim again with what you said and see how it works out?

That would really be great if it was ok because it would look smoother, and more realistic.

Alright this has a little bit of a story. I gotta tell it because without a background it doesn't make sense.
A man goes for a walk in the woods for a while. He stumbles on a tent and decides to take a nap. The swordsman who pitched the tent comes back sees some noob sleeping near his campground and attacks.

File > Publish settings > uncheck HTML (Default) check GIF image > click publish
hope that helps


I didn't know that, I think you might have a different version to me.

And kinglemon, you can host this, I'm sorry for not being active, I'm really busy with school. Anyway I will enter if I can, but it might be really short.

Short is ok.

Mine is short too. It's not the length that counts, it's the effect!!!
