Update: The deadline for this project has passed. The winners will be chosen this week. Stay tuned.
For this Five Second Project, It’s all about what makes you feel most at home. Just think about what makes you feel happy and riff off of that for your project. It’s time to get a little more personal.
What Are Five Second Projects?
We all want to make cool shit for our demo reel right? Sometimes you just need a theme to get you started… Some rules to fight against. Use the theme “Home Sweet Home” 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, “Home Sweet Home”.
- 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 December 13th
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!

Hey,
I’m new to the site – great stuff. Here’s a link to my five second video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XecMzyvaZR4. I’m not registered with Vimeo yet. Hope that’s not a problem.
Thanks,
Brett

Nice work Brett. Only Vimeo Videos are allowed in the channel though. Repost a link when it’s up.
Quick fix – In the “How Do I Enter my Video?” list you still have the last 5SP theme “Start with a Photo”…
Working on this new one! Thanks for the new theme, I’m excited.
The Gorilla on November 30th, 2009 said...
Thanks! Fixed…
Hi Gorilla,
I got set up with Vimeo and reposted my youtube video there. The link is http://www.vimeo.com/7909689. Let me know if it’s a valid entry now.
Thanks,
Brett

Hello everyone
First timer around this parts and glad to participate.
My entry is
http://www.vimeo.com/7927571
Here is mine, My home is in my imagination. I took a photo of some books on my desk and then had the idea of a little fisher man setting up a home in a windmill on the landscape of my desktop.
http://vimeo.com/7920718
this make me remember the song of motley crue
I’m start working on !
Hey, here’s my attempt. Thanks Nick!
http://vimeo.com/7947070
I forgot to ask, Can we enter more than one ?
Thanks
The Gorilla on December 8th, 2009 said...
Try just working on one instead of two. If you find more time, find ways to make your entry better instead of doing two.
Hey ! mon premier post sur ce fabuleux blog que je consulte très régulièrement. Désolé pour la langue je parle très mal anglais.
J’en profite pour participer pour la première fois à Five Second Project qui est je trouve une très bonne initiative !
Voilà le lien de ma vidéo : http://www.vimeo.com/7960539
Bonne continuation ! Bye !

Hey, my first “five second project”, cool site, thanks to the Gorilla for this place.
My house is in hell :
http://vimeo.com/7966452
Hey Nick, My very first 5 second project and also for any contest.
I love this Idea.
http://www.vimeo.com/7960758
Hi, its also my first 5 sec Project.
Here the link http://www.vimeo.com/7980269
Stumbled upon this site and loved the Five Second Project idea.
Here is my entry
http://vimeo.com/7980496
add me please:
http://www.vimeo.com/7976947
Hey Nick, love the site. Is the theme cross stitch image for Home Sweet Home a 3D render? If it is it would be amazing if you could do a step by step on how you created it. Or at the very least how to get the cloth material and stitching to look so photo realistic. That would be solid.
The Gorilla on December 8th, 2009 said...
That is actually a photo. hehe. My girlfriend made it. She is selling it soon. I WISH i could render stitching looking that good.

im a noob
Sjoerdwijn on December 10th, 2009 said...
nice one, i like it. Maybe you can make it a slower
Here´s my entry: http://www.vimeo.com/8002829
For some reason, it lost some quality in compression, but its not that bad. I would definably appreciate comments from everyone
alex on December 5th, 2009 said...
well done!

@Alex:
Thanks
Hi Nick & People! this is mine:

Soryy for the length, also learned that making it shorter afterwards is pretty tuff with all the layers
Cheers!.
The Gorilla on December 8th, 2009 said...
Thanks, Dennie. It is too long for the project however. Try trimming of some of the end. Also, when doing a five second project, try starting with a 5 second comp. That way you wont go over.
My first ever entry! I hope you like it!
http://www.vimeo.com/8009029
Please comment. And, yes, I know the lights flicker. C4D needs a function to “bake shadow/light maps. Would’ve made rendering a lot quicker, too.
The Gorilla on December 8th, 2009 said...
You should be able to bake that lighting on to the house. Try looking up how to bake textures on the objects.
Here’s mine:
