Inspiration for animation fans, students and professionals
Get your film in front of an audience
Previously I had written that there were 5 reasons to enter animation competitions.
Turns out I was wrong.
At least one more reason to enter is the opportunity to see your work with a live audience.
I was lucky enough to be a finalist in the Sixty40 Proto Ninja competition at the Sydney International Animation Festival, which meant that I got to see my animation along with a packed house of 300 or so animation fans.
I have to say: there is no feeling like it.
Imagine it.
You’ve already seen the film a million times, so instead of watching the animation: you are entirely concentrating on the noises and reaction from the crowd.
Every laugh, snigger, breath, sigh and the final moment of applause is just amazing.
If you’re working on a short animated film, please do what ever you can to get it screened.
We want to see it. And it’s well worth it.
