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. 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!

Alright, let's see if this kicks off.
First theme will be ~ Jumping.
It's a basic thing to learn in animation, and it can be anything from a pixelated blob performing up/down motions, to - anything jumping.
Like: http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z121/Mazzelh/Emote.gif
I don't know who will do the judging yet (will be me, if no one else (like Strop?) decides they'll do it).
Deadline for first round will be October 20th, since animation is a somewhat time consuming process. Go make those pixels jump!

hmm what to do with this one.I should probably be less lazy with my submission this time as last time was something real quick I put together.I might add in some random Easter eggs or something in this one and put it on a .swf host to watch from like my first animation,or just keep it simple for sake of laziness....who knows...

Hey I'm going to make a soccer animation (football)
Since soccer (football) is associated with balls (the current theme) I was wondering if the judges don't mind If I do it (Soccer animation).

Answer me in my profile OK?

truthfully Peter unless KingRyan is very strict about the entries,then I doubt it would matter.If you have ever seen how it is in the Art Competition(I'm using it as a comparison) then you will notice that a lot of the entries are sometimes abstract and are sometimes difficult to figure out how they are related,and they still count because they are somehow related to the theme in one way or another.
