[ENDED] #Christmas2020 Animation Contest
Read the rules: http://sticknodes.com/the-christmas2020-animation-contest/
When your animation is done and uploaded to Youtube, make an update post below linking it. It obviously has to be a public video.
One entry per person. If you make a new entry, be sure to specifiy it’s a replacement.
I will keep a post that I will update periodically with a list of all entries, in the form of a list of [name … youtube link]. That post is here: http://sticknodes.com/members/ralph/activity/923314/
Please do not @ me when you make the post with your animation. I will check this group and update the above post once every day or two. So again, please no “@ralph here is my entry lololo” please…please.

I’m kinda late
but you know I’m always late
This entry might get disqualified but I gotta admit this was the most beautiful animation I’ve worked on, I’m not even talking about the video itself, I’m talking about the many things I did during the process, I met a lot of people, I made new friends, the main reason I wanted to finish this was just to prove everything my friends did for me was worth it, that many things in life are worth it and I hope you can feel that same message on the animation, merry late Christmas and Happy New Year thank you for making this year so great.
-
Its so weird yet wholesome how jack always finds a meaningful message in every submission he had,
Like his sad tale of his late grandfather and now, the friends hes made along the way to christmas
2020-12-31 03:36:33 UTC -
fashionably late as always. and the irony of this is that this wins.
2020-12-31 03:42:52 UTC -

Almost finished my Entry, the project keeps crashing so i’ll cut it in half and save it as two parts, export both, edit, then finally publish to Youtube.
It could’ve been better but still maintains some comedic elements and is generally wholesome, it also has multiple users in Christmas clothing / accessories, I missed a few users but the whole project has been rushed and the node limit for the frames are too high so I won’t bother.
My reaction rn with all this:
-
nevermind yo i closed the entries
submit 4 next year lol byee

I had a whole script before to follow and animate but I completely didn’t follow it, it went something like this:
1. Camera pans to house in snow.
2. Door flies open and users rush outside in winter clothes to play in the snow.
3. Users throw snowballs etc.
4. Ralph goes by in his Santa sleigh with Arc and Sean (sean in the gift bag)
5. Ralph throws gifts from gift bag and Sean ‘accidentally’
6. Gifts rain from the sky
7. Users go inside and take presents with them
8. Users get ready for Christmas dinner courtesy of Lulu’s fine cooking
9. Users eat food and mess around with Christmas paper hats and poppers
10. Users unwrap presents and do Christmas homely things
11. Camera cuts outside house window
12. Camera goes to sky and space and we see the admins once more going by, not including sean as he is currently head first in some random snow pile.
13. Credit card ‘Merry Christmas, Happy New Year!’ Type of thing.2020-12-31 00:38:55 UTC-
Replying to:
8. Users get ready for Christmas dinner courtesy of Lulu’s fine cooking

@ralph HOW MUCH TIME DO I HAVE LEFT?
-
you got about 15-16 hours left
2020-12-30 22:08:42 UTC -
what the dez said
-
If you mean for the Christmas contest,15 hours or so
Time to live? 10 seconds
2020-12-30 22:43:17 UTC
-
I need opinions on my entry for the contest. My entry is based on users from the site and ArcFi just generally playing in the snow and giving presents etc. all of which have Christmas outfits of accessories, the animation is okay, sound and music is good enough and comedic elements are fairly good.
Would this be a worthy entry?
——————————————————————————
Like one of the provided options or give your own opinion.
-
Yes, It would.
2020-12-30 18:52:56 UTC-
Replying to:
it’s not like this is a democratic judging anyway
-
Replying to:
True, not to mention the amount of entries as well, the current ones that stand out to me as good at least from what i’ve seen is Squi’s and VariousPond’s, leaving an additional third spot available for the taking and the way it’s looking with users not putting anything out because it’s too late it seems i’d stand a chance.
-
Replying to:
i actually have all the names on a dartboard
okay here i go brb
-
-
Replying to:
it depends on this part
comedic elements are fairly good
since again, the main criteria is entertainment
you can have the most visually stunning animation, but it’s just like, jack sipping tea next to a fireplace on loop or something with a cat that walks by in a santa hat, etc
but it’s really not gonna be something people will go back and watch again (besides to look at the cat i guess)
you get what i mean
i thinkregardless tho, yes, enter
it’s not like it’s gonna be so wrong/bad i’m gonna rage quit you-
Replying to:
True, the results and money make me want to finish the animation, I’ll be able to, I just need to finish up and edit / add final touches.
-
-
No, it wouldn’t.
-
Gonna start watching/ranking the entries tonight, and will finish tomorrow and also announce winners.
Probs about 24 hours from now I’ll be finishing the viewings, so submitting after that – you lose.
-
You heard him, you have 24 hours. Make use.

2020-12-30 16:12:57 UTC -
Ngl the first half doesn’t even feel like it’s about a stick nodes Christmas event animation, in a good way.
2020-12-30 16:14:46 UTC -
Lmao it’s Cell impersonating Santa.
2020-12-30 16:16:31 UTC -

But it sure as hell did feel like 74 days
2020-12-30 16:29:10 UTC-
Replying to:

Not enough damn it, not enough.
At this point getting anything at all released with something unique likely has a chance of being a winning entry.
2020-12-30 15:57:19 UTC-

Okay, just in case I don’t finish it, I’m uploading this test segment of the anim that gets cut off early that I made to see the framerate it’ll play at
By no means is this the final thing, but currently, it’s the only submission I’ve got ready, so for now, until I finalize my thing, this is it
-
Wow, definitely gonna need to lower the framerate, lmao

Replying to:

Replying to:
It’s not even that long, lol
I’ve spent the last month and a half meticulously crafting 264 frames of pure pain 🙁
