The November Character Animation Competition has begun!

Submission Deadline:  11/30/2012

The 11 Second Club is a monthly character animation competition open to everyone! Join their 154163 members and participate in the forums to get feedback on your work.

Download this month’s audio file and animate a character speaking the line to enter the contest.

Winners receive an AnimationMentor.com eCritique® from a professional animator!

Entries can be character animations in any medium, from CG animation (Maya, 3DS Max, Blender, Animation:Master, etc.) to traditional 2D animation to stop-motion. Consider posting your progress videos in the Work in Progress forum. Feedback and criticism will make your animation stronger!
This month’s clip is a good chance to work on subtext, with the main character’s words not necessarily matching up with what he’s thinking. Enjoy!

In order to spend the majority of your time on the animation, please take advantage of the free character rigs we’ve linked to in the Resources section, and avoid spending a lot of time on lighting/rendering/etc.

Rules

• Copyrighted rigs and/or character designs will not be allowed in entries unless the entrant has the right to use the rig and/or design. The “Azary” and “Ashrafi” rigs are specifically NOT allowed.
• Don’t edit the sound file (beyond adding silence before/after if needed – please try to keep the extra time to a minimum, winning eCritiques will not include added time)
• Don’t put your name or contact info anywhere on the actual video (this makes voting unfair).
• Don’t try to upload files more than 10MB (the server will automatically reject it).
• Don’t use anything overtly offensive (this is not the place for crude sexual humor, extremely violent imagery, or intolerance towards any culture/religion/gender/etc.) This is also not the place for political statements of any kind.
• Do have fun! 🙂
