Flash Animation November News Round-up
You’ve got about 2 weeks left to submit your entry to the Aniboom Awards 3. The overall winner will receive a $25,000 investment in commercial development and a distribution deal with aniBoom. It looks like the top audience favorite so far is A Day in the Life, a Flash-animated film that was featured here this summer.
Calling all Canadian writers… Animax Entertainment has launched the Canucks Cartoon Script Contest. To be eligible for thousands in prizes, writers must submit a 7-minute script for an original concept. Writers will retain the rights to their scripts, and Animax big-wig Dave Thomas (SCTV, Strange Brew) will be presiding over the judging. Don’t like writing alone – team up with a writer and submit something together. Get crackin’ Canucks!
It’s not Flash-animation related, by my friend Yair Landau just launched a new animation project over at Facebook. Mass Animation kicked off today with a 5-minute, CGI-animated project titled Live Music that will be produced by animators around the world. Artists can download the story reel from over 100 shots and submit their take. The project is being produced in Maya, and Autodesk has provided a free trial version for those without a copy. Landau, a former vice chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment and president of Sony Pictures Digital, is producing and directing.
