Animation Challenge Week 7 (WIN $$$/CONTEST)

Posted by Rudy - April 10th, 2008


Hââ-pô Newgrounders!,

Welcome to the traditional, Weekly Animation Challenge! It's that time of the week again, and now we're going to make things a bit more interesting.

To start things off, If you aren't familiar with the whole "Animation Challenge" Deal. Here is a simple explanation of the whole jazz.

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 create an animation portraying a "slam dunk.".

Slam Dunks, you know the whole deal of slamming a basketball into a hoop with one leap. Mike Jordan has got it down, so now you have to as well ! This week's animation challenge was actually inspired by "Totty Arts Weeklies," which are pretty interesting and very impressive.

View their site here!

Example shown here!!

Let's make some speculations first though.
24FPS
DEFAULT DIMENSIONS. (550*400)
Rename all movie clips/tweens/symbols with a unique name.
No specific time frame limit. It can be as long as you want, just not drastic minutes long. Etc.

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: Thursday, April 17th, 12:00AM. (Eastern Time.)
The deadline will be Thursday night which is a week from Today. You are given a week to complete your work! So use your time wisely.
----------

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.

Alright, I haven't spoken to SweetSkater for quite sometime now. So I'll try my hardest... :/

After oining multiple weekileys in the old dyn invision forum but not doing them, after some more weekleys on the new stw forum, I finnaly decide to do a weekley and commit to it, my only source of computer graphics is a toucpad... its fixed now... SO ME NEED NEW WEEKLEY!... please?

Also, haven't seen you on the stw forums lately.

I've been off the computer for a majority of the previous weeks. Due to the hectic work I've been put through. I'm going to try to pull out another weekly sometime this week after completing the new submission.

Ooops I mean: After joining multiple weekleys in the old dyn invision forum but not doing them, after some more weekleys on the new stw forum, I finnaly decide to do a weekley and commit to it, but my tablet pen brakes and my only source of computer graphics is a toucpad...

Now that the delay has been so long on the ACW 3-6, you might as well take you time until your completely satisfied.
But how far along are your percent wise?

75%

18 days later and my eyes have been deprived of weeks 4-6.

Good news. It'll be released this weekend!
