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!

yes well if you put something on Newgrounds then it has to be a bit more on a pro level then on here.Plenty of peoples submissions have gotten blammed before on that site,because they just weren't quite at the level of all the others up there.I truthfully would not submit something to that site unless I know it is something worth watching on flash site.

Sometime next month, is the standard answer. It really depends on how many people enter.

This thread is for animations in .gif format but chances are if you could fit your animation into a .gif on Newgrounds, it's not going to pass muster. To be completely honest I would have voted the above animation a 1/5 because, well, not because it's crap but because it's not exactly suitable to NG's needs. But like we're going to delete it here haha :P

I know I can't, I'm pretty stumped for this one, besides, that one dude you keep reffering to always seems to be win worthy.

lol, brilliant entry there!

And I think that if you added voices, and maybe a tiny bit longer it would be acceptable for newgrounds.

Is chuck norris approved as a superhero?

You can re-download Pivot and start again.

You can do it!
