Update:
The deadline for this project has passed. The winners will be chosen this week. Stay tuned.
This one should be fun. You must use photos you have taken to make your animation for this weeks theme. Use a photo as the main element in your animation. Why not try something you haven’t done before. Cut out a person or elements from photos. Or, maybe composite something into a photo. Whatever it is, just make sure to take a photo and incorporate it in to your entry.
What Are Five Second Projects?
We all want to make cool shit for our reel right? Sometimes you just need a theme to get you started… Some rules to fight against. Use the theme “Start With A Photo” to make a five second motion piece and link it in the comments of this blog post. Please be sure to post a link in this post’s comments to ensure me seeing it. If your new to five second projects, why not check out last week’s theme here.
Rules
- 1. The animation can’t be longer than nine seconds. FIVE SECONDS is highly recommended!
- 2. The animation must fit the theme.
- 3. Only submit animation. Any and all animation forms are accepted (stop motion, hand drawn, cg, 3d, motion design, etc… ). Unmodified, videos will not be accepted, however.
Why Should You Enter? Check out the video…
How Do I Enter my Video?
- 1. Create a five second animation based on the theme, “Start With A Photo”.
- 2. Upload your video to Vimeo. Don’t forget to add a link back to this blog post.
- 3. Post a link to this posts comment thread and I will add it to the Channel.
- 4. Deadline is Sunday November 22nd
It’s really great to see so much participation. Tell a friend about the five second projects and get them involved too. Don’t forget to push yourself to try something new every week. What about a new piece of software or technique you have wanted to try? Take control of your creative output and Make Cool Shit!

This one was a combination of a number of mediums. Live model that Chris painted with acrylic paints, then we shot her in a number of different positions, chose the photo, brought it in to photoshop, then Kyle got to work in after effects and our new intern Mike did the sound design… so like 7 or so mediums to make our 5 second piece… good times!

http://www.vimeo.com/7767289
Looks like there was a problem uploading my video. Tried uploading a new video but now it says my time in line is almost 3 hours! I guess that’s what I get for waiting til the last minute.
Here’s my entry…Hoping for some good feedback…

Hi Nick,
Here’s another last minute entry, utilizing the amazing time bender powers of Pacific time, Vancouver, where it is 10:49pm.
Love these projects. Looks like there’s going to be an epic number of entry’s this time round.
Finger’s crossed: http://vimeo.com/7768637
Cheers!

Still set to private.
thanks Kyle!
Last minute entry. Work has been pretty busy lately, so I haven’t had much time for the fun side projects.

Woops. It’s public now, Gangstaskateur. Thanks
Here’s my video: http://www.vimeo.com/7697453. Everyone can feel free to leave comments!
A lot of these are very good. But…
people should not feel forced to include text saying the name of the project!
Many of these would be far more interesting without random text popping up that has no relation to the visuals!!
I totally agree, gangly. I even added a note about “try not to use the words of the theme in the video.” But, It doesn’t seem to be working.
I agree.
I add my text after my 5 sec animation, so if its viewed from other sites, my name and title are visible. Not part of the actual animation though.
woot

Hey Nick,
I’m new to 5 Second Projects and I posted my link on the Channel Shout Box. My video wasn’t added to the channel and I thought it was either because I uploaded it after midnight or that you just didn’t see it. It looks like some other people entered late last night or today, so I thought I’d post again here.
http://www.vimeo.com/7768917
I’ll get it in earlier next time.
http://vimeo.com/7786720
Tried getting this rendered in time, didn’t end up doing so. Still would love some comments.
Oh crap!
i was sure this was due to the 24th :$ lolz…
Anyways, if theres a chance to squeeze in, it would be cool of ya, Nick!
http://vimeo.com/7801716
Cheerio!
Waaayyyy late but would love feedback!
