New Five Second Project: Coffee and Triangles

The new “Five Second” project has been announced. The theme for this week is “Coffee and Triangles.” Use this theme to inspire any short motion project. Ever wanted to try a specific technique or even something just crazy? Now is your chance. Upload the final video to Vimeo and post the link here. I will make a channel with all of the entries.

Need an excuse to make cool shit this week? Well, you just found one.

Check out last week’s project, “Five seconds and Orange.”

UPDATE: One day later and there are already quite a few entries. Check out ALL of the videos at the new Vimeo channel or here below.

    sweeeeet. Nick, will you be doing one also?

  3. The Gorilla says:

    Heck yea, I’ll be doing one.

  4. Maybe you should do your one and then have a tutorial on how you did it ? Dunno just an idea as I loved your first tutoial showing how you made your 5 seconds in orange.

  5. I found your site from the presentation video, I’m in love with the level of motivation and this idea takes the cake. Thank You!

  6. Here is my interpretation of the latest inspirational project.

    I am super excited that Nick is extending this project/idea to the rest of us. I plan on trying to build a coffee pot in a triangular shape to dive into 3d more.
