Frank Silas Posted November 13, 2004 Posted November 13, 2004 Congratulations Zach! That's rockin'. Way to go! Frank Silas http://www.franksilas.com Quote
ZachBG Posted November 13, 2004 Author Posted November 13, 2004 Thanks, all! So, when's Duck Sauce gonna make it, huh? Sorry, man. I wish it was, truly. Probably just plain too long (ESC is 1 minute, Duck Sauce is 8). Congratulations! You must have left-out the paragraph where they talk about the money... Well, there is that $10,000 prize... but somehow that doesn't seem likely... Quote
Admin Rodney Posted November 13, 2004 Admin Posted November 13, 2004 Well, there is that $10,000 prize... but somehow that doesn't seem likely... You'd make all of our days if you won... you know that right? Quote
wwoelbel Posted November 13, 2004 Posted November 13, 2004 Congratulations Zach! Outstanding work. Bill Quote
jamagica Posted November 13, 2004 Posted November 13, 2004 How can I enter a film for the Nicktoons festival? Quote
Guest mrsl13 Posted November 14, 2004 Posted November 14, 2004 Always Great to hear news like this on the forum.....Now you can take a deep breath......... Mike C Quote
lazz Posted November 14, 2004 Posted November 14, 2004 That's awesome man! Great job! When did you make that? I know I've seen it, but i thought it was a while ago. First off Nickelodian... next... The World! ok ok maybe not the world, but something big! Quote
ZachBG Posted November 14, 2004 Author Posted November 14, 2004 When did you make that? I know I've seen it, but i thought it was a while ago. It was; I made it for the Internet Ray-Tracing Competition, back in late 2003. The whole thing took 8 days to make for the contest, but for the version on AMFilms (and what will be on Nicktoons) I re-did a little of the animation and many of the keyboard textures. How can I enter a film for the Nicktoons festival? The deadline has passed for this season, but they might do it again next year (this is pure speculation on my part, not inside information). Quote
Paul Forwood Posted November 14, 2004 Posted November 14, 2004 Well done, Zach! Great to see someone from here getting some big exposure. Good luck with the finals. Quote
-TC- Posted November 14, 2004 Posted November 14, 2004 Wow, great news Zach, I remember seeing that short a while ago, it was great. Congratulations Quote
steve392 Posted November 14, 2004 Posted November 14, 2004 Well done ,thats a big accomplishment Quote
DarkLimit Posted November 15, 2004 Posted November 15, 2004 Congrats!!!! def something to be proud of..... Keep up the good work..... Quote
paulcdb Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 Cool, i'd love to be able to do something like that. Can't wait until January so i can buy the software and have a play, wish i was a student now instead of the flunker i am, lol. *twiddles fingers* With all the cool clips i'm finding it hard to wait, but i couldn't afford it this year and the upgrade next year Quote

TurboGorilla Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 Saw your movie on Nick Toons a few minutes ago. Very, very cool. Quote

Musecrafter Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 Zach, Just checked out your animation! Very clever! Congratulations on your Nick gig!!! Quote
ZachBG Posted November 29, 2004 Author Posted November 29, 2004 Saw your movie on Nick Toons a few minutes ago. Very, very cool. Thanks, dude! I couldn't get most of my friends or family to stay up late enough to see it. Ah well... Rodney: there's still time! It's running again tonight! Thanks everyone for your kind comments... Quote

TurboGorilla Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 Check the very first post on page one of this topic. It lists the times the film festival is showing. There were some really interesting films on there. Quite a breadth of medium to create them too. Other than <ETC>, which was visually much better looking than any of the others, I really enjoyed the one with the little boy telling the story of his new dog the best. I was trying to figure out if they recorded this little kid telling an actual story about a dog and then decided to create an animation around that...or if they made up the whole story and added the animation to go with it. I suspect the former. Quote

I was trying to figure out if they recorded this little kid telling an actual story about a dog and then decided to create an animation around that...or if they made up the whole story and added the animation to go with it. I suspect the former. a) it's <ESC> (now do I have to make one called <ETC>, where a poor abbreviation is hounded by big words?) no, it wasn't any better visually, actually, I was embarrassed by my lighting & texturing. But that's just my opinion... c) according to the blurb on the Nicktoons site, the animator just recorded what the kid said. That's why it was so charming. Anyway, Greg, it's on again at 10 PM and 1 AM tonight (EST). Quote
Admin Rodney Posted November 29, 2004 Admin Posted November 29, 2004 Rodney: there's still time! It's running again tonight! Yeah... that's why I'm sad. I have to work both tonight AND when it airs on Tuesday. Still I'm happy for you! How does fame feel? Quote
Hawker Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 That is a GREAT video and a huge congrats on getting it on TV, that's so awesome. Not only is the animation great, so is the music! It all fits so well together. It's no wonder they chose it! Again congrats! Quote
noah brewer Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 That was pretty cool! Congratulations!! -Noah Quote
.:shortdog:. Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Very nice...I can see it now: the new cartoons take over the old! Cartoon network plays (gasp) COMPUTER ANIMATED CARTOONS?! sorry got a little carried away there... Quote
forevernameless Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 I know it's a little late, but congradulations. I missed them though Darnit. I was just wondering, is there more than one Nick channel? Cause I checked and I couldn't find anything. I really wanted to see it too. Quote
pugless Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Woo hoo! Well done there Z! I've been away for a bit just getting things sorted over here in china, but bloody hell dude! TV? Thats bloody cool! Congrats! Quote
Moistanimations Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 THAT"S AWESOME! I can't believe ure actually gonna be on tv! After looking at the animation, i see why!!! Quote
