We have a movie competition coming up, set to launch in early January. People who wish to participate in that competition are going to need content.

So, we turn to you, the Certified Content Developers, to create sci-fi content that we can market to the contestants! This is a great opportunity to create some awesome content and get some good sells from sci-fi hungering mutant contestants from Mars!

Oh, was that a little overboard? I guess I am just a little "too" excited about this new event.
(As you can see, I am a registered-member-card-carrying-sci-fi geek... and proud of it :cool: )

So go check out the developer page, and check often, there is a CCD Sci-Fi Widget that will be updated weekly with new images, news and advice to get your rocket boosters burning... ok that was over the top, again... my apologies :D

Note: To see the Sci-Fi Widget, make sure you have Flash 10 Player updated and installed.

I'm interested in different perspectives and the definition of realistic in this case. I see Sci Fi as realstic but set in the future. Cartoon can be anything regrdless of the time setting. i.e. a Cartoon set in the ancient past or a cartoon set in the present. I can make a cartoon of my daughter doing her homework, it's still a cartoon.

 It's only my opinion, but Sci Fi represents a genre of film with no more or less realism than any other movie depending on the artist or animator themselves.

By Realistic, are we referring to movies that are based in current ime, with current technology and sets versus the suspension of disbelief that typically goes with a Sci Fi flick?

Hi

Are you saying that any movie who have a fantasy car - machine - or monster then is scifi ???

I love batman but i didn't think it was sci-fi. It wil make a big difference for future contest to know that for sure. :)

According to the wikipedia definition of Science Fiction, Batman and the like fall under the related but different genre of Superhero fiction.  Within Science Fiction there are still a large number of subgenres to choose from. Of course, RL can define things anyway they like, but I agree that things should be clear from the outset.
