July Competition

The July Character Animation Competition has begun, and it's an unusual one! :)

Our first sound effects competition in April was so much fun, we're bringing it back! This month features "human" sound effects, giving you plenty of possibilities for some creative and physical character animation!

In order to spend the majority of your time on the animation, please take advantage of the free character rigs we've linked to in the Resources section, and avoid spending a lot of time on lighting/rendering/etc.

Entries can be character animations in any medium, from CG animation (Maya, 3DS Max, Blender, Animation:Master, etc.) to traditional 2D animation to stop-motion. Consider posting your progress videos in the Work in Progress forum. Feedback and criticism will make your animation stronger!

Not sure how to encode your animation? See our Helpful Hints for encoding entries to see what works best!

Transcript

Various sounds, use your imagination!

Rules

• Copyrighted rigs and/or character designs will not be allowed in entries unless the entrant has the right to use the rig and/or design. The "Azary" rig is specifically NOT allowed.
• Don't edit the sound file (beyond adding silence before/after if needed - please try to keep the extra time to a minimum, winning eCritiques will not include added time)
• Don't put your name or contact info anywhere on the actual video (this makes voting unfair).
• Don't try to upload files more than 5MB (the server will automatically reject it).
• Don't use anything overtly offensive (this is not the place for crude sexual humor, extremely violent imagery, or intolerance towards any culture/religion/gender/etc.) This is also not the place for political statements of any kind.
• Do have fun! :)

Featured WIP

If you post your Work in Progress to YouTube and post it in the Work in Progress forum, we'll automatically feature it here. Please tag your YouTube submission with 11SecondClub so we can find them even easier.
