PURE ANIMATED PROJECTS
and
LIVE ACTION / ANIMATED / EFFECTS HYBRID PROJECTS
and
UNLIMITED DOCUMENTARIES
Pure Animated Projects: Are defined as films with motion capture or animation in EVERY shot. Only Pure Animated films may build models and create characters early, beginning one week before the Verse Assignment. Absolutely no animation or key framing etc will occur before Verse Assignment. Pre-existing/purchased digital assets are not eligible for awards. Pure Animations are not restricted after Verse Assignment except for meeting the turn-in deadline. Pure Animation will compete only in it’s own category.
Live Action/Animated/Effects Hybrid Projects: These films combine synthetic elements and live action. For the contest, all CG Effects and Animation, etc. is considered a part of live action. These assets include Motion Capture, Plates and Virtual Sets. They MAY be planned after the Verse Assignment, but you MAY NOT shoot or do work on any of these elements before your Production Start. (Otherwise you can’t compete for Best Picture because it wouldn’t be fair to others).
Unlimited Documentaries: will use the 168-determined theme (“Family Business”) like all other entries, but they are free to select their verse and subject with regards to content rules. Upon payment of registration fees, completion of the contract, and registration of verse, Producers may start production without restriction, beginning no earlier than January 1, 2009 (max. length 11 min. including everything). They will only compete within this special category. The best films will screen in whole or in part as determined by the 168 management.
