Hi Bruce,

You've not had a good old fashion animation / film making comp for some time. I think the dancing one was the last?

You generally do a comp to coincide with the release of a new pack, Halloween, War, Dance etc. Why not just have a animation short comp.

Produce the best animation you can in under 5 minutes. No limits and lets see what this program can really do, no shackles, no restrictions, no set themes and let the quality flow

Now that would be great

But just my thoughts

Cape out!

How about a commercial or advertising video. You give us a list of things that must be in the advertisement. The winner's clip will be the one with the highest quality of images, sound and substance and actually gets used in a real advertising way by Reallusion. The winner gets a free copy of iClone 6 when it comes out or 2% of sales generated by the ad.

here's a few ideas - some of them can be cta or iclone - would be fun to have contests where iclone users, can compete vs cta2 users.

Motion design contest - using mocap or keyframe.

Zazzle T-Shirt Design contest ( or a skateboard design contest would be even cooler!! ) - winner gets the item they design from zazzle!!

Artistic Stills contest -

Album Cover Design Contest

copycat contest - make a pre-viz version of famous movie clip.

abstract art contest -

Voice Over Synch contest - reallusion selects a public domain clip from Libry Vox - and contestants have to make an animation for it. - can be iclone or cta

Iclone Mod Contest - Who can transform Chuck into something entirely different!!

martial arts contest - animated Kung Fu fight scenes competition - can be iclone or cta - have to give the stick man fights their respect!

monster truck contest - using the physics and custom made fancy trucks - who can make the coolest monster truck tricks footage. - ie - leap over 15 cars, finish a race course filled with bumps and jumps...

Gwynn Selfie Contest - best, most elegant / heartwarming render of Gwynn.

Monty Python Contest - using only images on planes in iclone to make a video.

I think the problem most people have with competitions is a lack of time therefore I always think that needs to be borne in mind.

My suggestions

a) Animation based on the lyrics of a song (but not using the song itself for obvious copyright reasons)

b) Animation based on supplied audio sample/extract (ie like 11secondclub - http://www.11secondclub.com) .

The Forum already has a "film-making comp", Colin  - The Annual Pinhead Community Projects, which are predominately iClone, these days.

Some of the best iClone Films ever made have been submitted, over the years.

Esteemed iClone Animators such as Gabe, Big Boss, Mark, Peter Martin, Wolf.............Have contributed, with new Talent every year.

I'm not a Pinhead Annual Community Projects Committee Member - Just a Promoter, together with other dedicated Pinhead Fans.

That being-said, I'd like to see the Projects reaching-out to a wider Community in the German & French Forums, rather that just the English. Maybe Reallusion could help, in that respect?

Reallusion have very generously donated some great prizes, over the years.

       New Pinhead Website & Project to be announced in September 2015

Sorry Colour, but I disagree!

If that was the case then it would be part of Reallusion's marketing campaigns. In the banner on the forum, on their website and even advertised on the social networking avenues. Pinhead is not!

Also Pinhead is not the only competition that Reallusion supports, there's the Passion competition, the Machinima Expo, the 48 hours, to name but a few.

I meant a true "Reallusion" competition by them, judged by them with prizes specific to the Reallusion company.

How about an "iClone Image of the Month" contest? Each month you pick the best of a host of submissions (don't let people see the submissions, only the winning image). The prize would be $50 DA points. Don't let anyone win more than three in a row. You can also give them monthly themes to explore, like "Loneliness", "Dystopias", "Horror", "Sci-Fi", "The Human Experience", "Nature", etc.

Public Service announcement created with iClone. Winner should get $500 DA points. You may also be able to find a sponsor for the PSA in a governmental or private organization that would put their logo on it or help promote/distribute it. You could solicit such organizations as well and see if they want to have a PSA done on a particular topic and provide this as part of the challenge and have them be the final judge.

Recreate a scene (not to exceed 3 minutes) from a famous movie in the Public Domain. They can use the original sound track to help build the animation. Winner should get $500 DA points.

I will think of some more...
