A group of 5 of us entered this year’s 24-Hour Animation Contest which saw 300 teams of students from all over the world produce a 30-second film in 24 hours with the theme ‘1OO Years in The Future’ .
The completion provided a encapsulised experience of working within a team to create an animated film. We all took on individual roles, working remotely over the 24-hour period sharing out the rough animation, inbetweening, colouring and clean-up. In an actual studio, there would be more time for this process, but it was a great way to experience working with a team with a rapid turnaround time.
Working in a team is something I have always enjoyed, and it was great to also be able to learn from other animators while working and to just collaborate in general. It’s something I really look forward to experiencing when working on bigger projects.
And even better was that our film came 8th out of 300 student entries so can certainly be considered a successful short film.
