An NOW for AUGUST.........
VFXTalk.com is holding their August VFXChallenge this month...
Fundamentals:
VFX003 - Title Design "The Hobbit"
Submissions Start: August 1st 2003
Submissions End: August 31st 2003
Voting: September 1-6 2003
Winner Announced: September 7th
The Challenge:
Pretend, just for a heart warming moment, that New Line and WETA are in the process of making 'The Hobbit' and they have asked you to submit/propose an opening title sequence. You are given free reign. You know there are at least 12 other studios after this contract, needless to say, its VERY important for you to secure this job, so you know it has to be something special!
The Challenge is to create the best opening title sequence for this mythical movie (keep run lengths to a MAX of 20 seconds please). Everyone should be well versed with the content/subject material, and I'm sure there will be lots of excitement for this challenge!! The cast is not overly important for the sequence, so it is up to you to block in/use casting titles if you choose to do so. Casting titles are not mandatory, and may or may not be needed (its your call).
The prize for this month:
Winner: Gets a 6 month subscription to Digital Media World magazine.(http://www.dmw.com.au) and valuable points toward the BIG PRIZE!
