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!

I will see if I can come up with something over this week. Spring Break just started over here so I shall have plenty of time to work on it. I probably will just put something together quickly though.

To be honest I'm not entering unless I use a non-lazy animation program (which means no pivot, sketchstar etc).

PIVOT MAKES ME SCREAM!

AND I DELETED GIMP FOR SPACE!

Truthfully Flash is even a lazier program then pivot(as in you can get things done quicker), but still is considered a much more professional program. If I were to make an animation with GIMP I would probably go mad because of the amount of work involved.

hmm well what file format is it exactly...the most I can think of is youtube since its in a video format and not one for animations.

Umm...Don't kill yourself in this competition while I am away. Ask Crimson if you need any help with animating or whatever.

Will be back in a week and the judging will be within the next week. I hope to see enough entries when I get back.
