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!

Thinking is not something I do best,
So now I will take some rest.
If you have an idea post it please,
It will make me rest in ease.

Ok all I am a bum,
The judging will eventually come...
Just let me sleep and rest my eyes,
And swat away these sticky flies.

Goodnight all sleep well and tight,
Do not let the bed bugs bite.

That was meant to be a "n" with a squiggly mark on top to make a "knee-eh" sound...:P

Does anyone know any good Mac animators?

Pivot is a PC one.

I'd like to start animating.

Ummm....GIMP works on Macs right...because you could use that...although that isn't as easy as Pivot...

There are a few free animators that work online....although I personally dont like them...

I kinda despise Apple things...
