Talking Speed Animation Comp "5" Bowling

_Bowling_





We will continue with the small stuff to this right. As we see where everyone’s skill level is, the comps will get harder. Now, on to the comp.

The idea,
A bowling ball and some pins. The ball rolls down the alley, hits the pins and something happens. Show me. There is no life to this ball; you just animate what you think this would look like. Can be 2d or 3d, that’s up to you. You don’t have to stick to this, it’s just an idea to get you started.
_Rules_

- The due date is May 5th, a Friday. Voting will be on that Saturday.

- Maximum animation length is 10 seconds, unless you just have to have more.

- Recommended screen resolution in 320x240 (you can do 640x480 if you want, but why would you).

- You can post W.I.P.s but you are only allowed one complete entry. That link is also final. No redos.

- Websites where you post your finals is up to you.

- Remember, it's about animation, use your time for animation, not to get the best render possible, unless you can afford it.

- Use of plug-ins/modifiers is NOT allowed. But should be mostly key framed (hand animated)

- Try to use
Quicktime or Divx if possible. If you can, make a gif.


- Voting will be as follows -

Pick your favorite animation.

First Place-

Second Place-

Third Place-

Next week, we kick it up a notch.


Good luck!

My program works, ^^

I will be joining in!

Anyone need help? Contact me.

"you are only allowed one complete entry"
That means, only one submission right? I must be sure, probably a very stupid question, but I'm the person who want to be sure before acting.

you can do more than one for fun, but you have to choose which one you want for when its voting time. My fault, I didn't say that in the brief.

So do as many as you like, then pick the one you like the best, then make sure I know which one that is.

Try the keyframe first. But, these comps are for learning and practice. So, using a plug in of some sort wont help you in the long run.

Change in rules, no plugs of any sort. We want to see what you can animate, not how good your plug in works.

Another thing, when you load up your final link, post up a screen grab showing your keyframes. I know this sounds mean, like I don't trust you, but I don't. hahaha.

Alright, I wanted to make an entry for this, but, I wanted to work on my two other projects the rest of the week. So I put this together in about an hour and a half, and I think its pretty good.
