on site competition
I remember that at the last Rumble on the Rock back in 1999, they did an animation competition on site. All teams were able to send one, maybe two (don't fully remember) team members to an offsite location (transportation provided of course) where they had 5 hours I think to work on an animation. They were given a theme there and could do whatever they wanted. I believe it was a 10 second clip that had to be produced and their theme was a planet fly-by (the winer had X-wings from Star Wars flying past a red planet ,similar to the scene from the special edition of A New Hope).
Since the competition is at a high school and not a civic center, maybe the school could open up their lab for something similar? There would be a problem if there is only one machine with Max on it though...in which case the contest could be announced a week before IRI and then teams would just have to bring their finished AVI. They could be turned in on Friday night, and then if possible, maybe a copy of all the entries could be made and given to all teams in attendance (or those that submitted) on CD. Just a thought.
What does everyone think?
I might also suggest an alumni animator division, for those of us college kids that were former animators that aren't technically allowed to submit a real FIRST animation???
