Hola Newgrounders!,

Today is the day for ANOTHER weekly challenge. If you haven't entered one of these before or don't have any knowledge of what these babies are than let me go over a few things.

First of all, These "Weekly Animation Challenges" are a challenge given to all the artists on Newgrounds for whomever to enter. You are a given a specific theme to animate during the whole week. At the given deadline, you are qualified to hand in the .fla file of the animation to be compiled in a finished .swf to be submitted to Newgrounds. Oh, but no this isn't just for fun - The best animator and piece will be rewarded with a nice little cash prize. ;)

The amount of money that'll be given is $4.00 per Two Submissions. Meaning Each submission is worth $2.00.

But let's get down to business about our challenge of this week.

The challenge this week is to animate some morphing.
Morphing is basically a fun little technique to transform an object into another object.

For example; A Dog into a Camera, Superman into a toaster, or maybe a angry TV into a bunny. Anything is acceptable, just use your imagination and be CREATIVE! :D

Don't know what morphing is? Check out this Example!

Let's make some speculations first though.
24FPS
DEFAULT DIMENSIONS. (550*400)
Rename all movie clips/tweens/symbols with a unique name.

Other Rules are listed as followed:
Rules:
1. For every 2 entries done to satisfaction quality, $4 is added, so even if there are only 2 entries added, money will be available :) See rule 7 and 9 also. Basically each person is worth four dollars each. :)

2. The parts must be the right frame size / fps / Timer length / and any other thing stated in the specific thread.

3. ALL of the parts will be submitted to various flash sites.

4. ONLY ONE submission from each person counts, although you can submit more than once.

5. There is only one winner, the winner will receive the amount of money specified BY PAYPAL ONLY!

6. Winners will be chosen by YOU, the people! See later rules for more information.

7. No clocks or anything of that nature. No animations that'll involve sprites either. I want full animation skills. If it doesn't meet the qualifications than it will not be accepted.

8. Remember that this is for animation practice as much as anything so it doesn't have to be perfect, unless your serious about getting the winnings ;).

9. There will be a maximum of $100.00 granted to the winner.

10. If there is tie, The cash prize will simply be split in half to the top two winners.

11. Post the .swf files in this thread, but a maditory rule is to host is at The Spam the Web Uploader!!

-----------
Note: After completing the full week's submissions, Send me your .fla files at dragonballsr@hotmail.com, so I can compile them within a folder and soon create a .swf compilation of the work for a submission to be featured on Newgrounds and SpamTheWeb.
Also, remember that each animation is worth two dollars. So let's say for example, if we have sixteen animators, the top prize will be $32.00. $100.00 Limit Maximum.

Key of Winning:
To win, you have to simply be voted for the most. When the submission of the complied work hits Newgrounds, Voters will vote for their favorite work via PM or within Reviews. In conclusion to the deadline of votes, We will present the Cash Prize Via PAYPAL ONLY, and you'll receive your earnings.

There are following up rules to the voting round as well:
- Do not mass vote/review.
- Any suspicion of mass voting will result to a disqualification from the whole contest.
- You cannot vote for yourself nor can you vote at all. The authors will not be eligible to vote for the winners. They have to sit back and watch the show. :)

-----------
Quick Note: Please send your .fla file in FLASH 8 format since I do not currently have Flash CS3, so to be eligible send your files in a Flash 8 format. THANK YOU.
----------

Co-Authors
Co-Authoring will be accepted before submitting, you will be contacted to accept buddy request if you haven't already. The flash will be submitted and I'll co-author the top 8 animators. Since number one slot is taken by the SpamTheWeb Newgrounds account.
----------

Deadline: Monday, March 31st, 2008
The deadline will be Monday which is a week from Today. You are given a week to complete your work! So use your time wisely.
----------

Another thing, We are currently still running another contest in another thread which will last til TUESDAY, so if you are interested in participating in that one head over there here.

The whole contest is basically simple. Just follow the rules and guidelines and you should be fine. Thank you for your time, and hopefully this will be a fun week.
