Just to clarify the rules, it says that, "Submitted videos MUST contain at least one character created from everyday objects. (refer to character suggestions above)"
Is the interpretation of everday objects mean that it must be some object that we take our own personal photo of and then convert (I was initially assuming)? For example, I think the Toyformers video is cool, but it only seems to use copyrighted photos for every character in the video. Are copyrighted photos found on google considered everyday objects? If this is true, it would significantly change the strategy in the type of submission to be worked on.
It would seem more fair that entries should be required to identify the everyday object included in the video? Maybe the person took pictures of their own Toy Story 3 toys?? Some of the entries do not look like they have any everyday objects in them.
Dear Mad Poet,
As for the issue of everyday object, we've made a reply in July under this thread (on page 2). Basically, Reallusion doesn't want to make "everyday object" so specific which might limit the possibilities. The characters in "Toyformers" such as Kenny and Barbie can be viewed as toys. So, it can be viewed as everyday object (Foodstuff, Toy, Stuffed Animal, Puppet, Tableware).
For copyright issue, the reason why Reallusion didn't make any regulation is because that we didn't want to limit contestants' creativity in making animation. However, we'll fighure out how to avoid this kind of issue in future events. Thanks for your concern and advices.:)
Thanks,
Your Reallusion Staff
