Whoa, that was a long hiatus! The good folks at Animagine have been keeping me busy for the 3rd Christmas running! Every year, they hold a student animation competition called NE Mation and it’s now in it’s 4th year! An open call is held for students to pitch ideas for a 1 minute animation clip based on the year’s theme on Total Defence. 10 teams are selected and the students are taught how to animate to realise their ideas!
I just visited the set last Friday and can’t wait to start work on the clips! The students look like they’ve been animating for years – 2D, 3D, stop motion, mixed medium etc. To top it all off, the winning team (voted by the public and some experts) gets to visit a world renowned animation studio, namely Pixar, Studio Ghibli & Dreamworks! I’m waiting for the day they bring the winning sound designer along.
Here’s last year’s winning clip done by YJC students featuring lego animation:
