Hi everyone,

I am pleased to announce that a new Pinhead project has launched today.  In order not to spoil the "surprise" I won't say much but would ask you to visit the Pinhead website for details.  Once a day or two has passed, we'll post more details in this thread.

Please feel free to post any questions you might have.  I will just say the Iclone 4 facial pupeteering will come in handy. :P

I am happy to announce a new Pinhead "mini" fun Project which we call "The Pinhead Silent Movie Project". Can you guess what the hook is? This project is just for fun and has no prizes, but will have an on-line vote at the end. This project could be especially fun for those who have Iclone 4, as it will give you a chance to use the pupeteering function on the faces - as faces will really help convey your message. As usual, there will be 2 dividions, Iclone and 2D. The rules are as follows:

1) Create a video starring Pinhead about anything, but it must be “silent” and in the spirit of the “Silent Movie” days. Here is a small example found on youtube. Look up Charlie Chaplin for more examples. Silent films can be dramatic, you are not limited to comedies here. Example here

2) Video must be in Black and White.

3) Use of music is permitted, and we encourage you to use music fitting of that era. Here is a link to some music royalty free. Free Silent Music

4) Video should be a minimum of 1 minute long and no longer than 5 minutes. We suggest 2 minutes as ideal.

4) There are no prizes, just an on line vote for the Golden Pinheads. Vote will cover 4 categories.
a) Storyline
Adherence to the theme
c) Use of music
d) Use of Pinhead

5) Competition ends Late November.

We have provided a corrected Iclone 3 Pinhead for download plus an Iclone 4 version. He had no eyes when I imported him. Also, there are several "tiles" available for download, similar to those used for text back in the day.

There are plenty of samples of silent films on youtube .

I hope you will join in - I am looking forward to just trying to control Pinhead's face in Iclone - I never have done much with the pupeteering feature in Crazy Talk.

Please visit www.pinheadhq.com to see the Video Clip introducing the contest which was by one of our committee members using Crazy Talk and the pupeteering feature.

I would have thought the  Free Silent Music Ragtime Piano accompaiment would attract New & Old Participants.;);) Great Foot-Tapping Tracks:)
No cheating though:ermm: By Downloading the music, you're committed to submitting a Clip.;)

Great idea for the theme of the new Pinhead project, Alley :D The challenge of no dialogue sounds fun. I would also recommend searching Buster Keaton if anyone interested in going the comedic route or just looking for expressive body language to animate from. Good luck to all!

Hi All

Last year's (& 1st Autumn "Mini Project") attracted 23 entries (11.5 2D & 11.5 3D;)). So-far, only 1 2D & 1 3D submitted - A bit disappointing so-far:ermm:. However there are others in the pipeline.:)

If you've watched Viking's Clip, all done in just S11, I'm sure that all those who have the time to do -so, can submit an entertaining Clip, using iClone. 

It would be encouraging for those of us who are Loyal Pinhead Fans & are "Beavering-away" at our respective Clips, if there are others willing to join us. New-comers, more than welcome.:)

There's still plenty of time. Once you've done one Pinead Clip, you'll become addicted & want to do another.

Thanks:)

Raven 2 angel has completed her clip and it's sooooo good. :D  The Pinhead upload seems to be acting up so while Brian is trying to figure it out, I didn't want to leave this one any longer.  Enjoy, and thanks Raven!!! :Wow:
