Five Second Project – “FAIL”

January 18, 2010

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 “Fail” 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 the Five Second Projects Archive to watch all of the past themes.

Rules

1. Submissions must be Five Seconds Long!
2. Only animation is accepted. Video only submissions will not.
3. The animations has to do with the theme in some way.
4. Original Work only. Don’t cut out 5 seconds of already made work.
5. Link back to GSG on your Vimeo Post

Why Should You Enter?

1. Try new techniques or software
2. Limitations help get the mind working.
3. Make short, awesome pieces for your reel.
4. Get critique from your peers.
5. Promote yourself.

How Do I Enter my Video?
1. Create a five second animation based on the theme.
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 January 31st

Watch the videos here, at the vimeo channel, or at the FiveSecondProjects Archive

    Hey Nick!
    How do you earn your money?
    I thought you no longer work at DK?
    So, do you freelance?
    How do you find the time to blog, do tuts, make apps, etc. and make money to pay your bills?
    C’mon man, spill the beans.
    What’s yer secret?

    James Wicks on January 18th, 2010 said...

    Oh, I am chill my friend.
    Nick is a cool cat. And he’s on it.
    I should have posted this at Make Cool Shit. Because this is more about the business of creativity and productivity.

    Cheers,

    Yo Nick , should I make a new entry project ?
    I used the destruction tut that you posted before . :(

    http://www.vimeo.com/8857902

    rules :
    !!!4. -ORIGINAL WORK ONLY-. Don’t cut out 5 seconds of already made work.!!!

    The Gorilla on January 20th, 2010 said...

    The video is set to private. But, try to make something more original for your reel. Putting a tutorial on your reel is never a good idea.

  24. Brett Perry on January 20, 2010 said...

    Sorry, posted an incorrect link. The link for my video is http://vimeo.com/8866221.

  25. Rounin on January 20, 2010 said...

    OT: Nick or Anyone know of a script/plugin for AE that allows you to make your video change from pixels to letters? Here’s are some examples. Note this site does it on the fly.

    http://www.asciimeo.com/8837024

    http://www.asciimeo.com/4917346

    MAKE SURE TO CLICK “SIMPLE ASCII” it looks better.

    You can do this with any vimeo videos. It really works great for those simple motion graphics. I’d like to do something like that.

    Bruno Ferreira on January 21st, 2010 said...

    Not really sure how to accomplish exactly that but meanwhile you might get a good result with trapcode form using letters as your particules… use the logic behind this tutorial and then dig deeper into the different options and settings. http://allbetsareoff.com/tutorials/rgtv-ep-21-creating-a-text-to-sand-transition/

    Here’s my entry. Great theme!

    http://www.vimeo.com/9121866

    Long line for conversion on Vimeo!

    Katie Lauffenburger on February 1st, 2010 said...

    I totally posted before midnight! Is Vimeo on Eastern time or something? :)

  141. Manson Floyd on February 1, 2010 said...

    Was ill this week and hope the project gets uploaded today before it becomes tomorrow :)

    http://www.vimeo.com/9121224

    Funny this took longer than Five Second to do.

    Manson Floyd on February 1st, 2010 said...

    It is 11:39 PM in Houston. What time zone is used for to set the deadline ?

    Sam Rivers on February 2nd, 2010 said...

    Dont worry mate, Nick is a good guy, this wont be a problem :) cool vid btw

    Manson Floyd on February 3rd, 2010 said...

    Thanks so much Sam

  142. Spenser on February 1, 2010 said...

    I posted my original before the deadline, but here is my real version that looks much better in HD on vimeo..

    http://vimeo.com/9121651

    thanks!

  143. Tim Stotz on February 1, 2010 said...

    Hi, Nick. It’s still deadline time on the west coast. Vimeo is taking forever to convert that puppy, but it is here:

  144. Idil Gozde on February 1, 2010 said...

    I have removed my video from the fail channel on vimeo by mistake…
    Could you re-add it?

    http://vimeo.com/9120641

    Thanks!

    Sorry about that…

  145. Rens Wegerif on February 1, 2010 said...

    Hey Nick,

  146. Jon Malkemus on February 2, 2010 said...

    5 Second Fail….Didnt realize the deadline was a few days ago. i guess i fail. ;)

    http://www.vimeo.com/9150240

  147. Fran Power on February 2, 2010 said...

    Did anyone else’s video come out much darker than it should have from the vimeo upload? Mine did, thats strange…..

    Mediengestalt on February 2nd, 2010 said...

    coming from Mac and used QT Mov for upload?

    If so search ‘Quicktime Gamma Shift’ for the phenomenon, many linux and win based encoders try to ignore the MacOS 1.8 Gamma (Snow Leo uses 2.2 now) or even make it worse.

  148. E. Oro on February 2, 2010 said...

    Hy Nick, i know that the deadline is already crossed…but it takes too long to render the scene.

    Here is my short animation…
    http://vimeo.com/9157375

  149. Sam Rivers on February 2, 2010 said...

    Guys, please, could anyone say something about this piece of mine? That’s my first animation and I’d like to hear some constructive critisism, like was the melting effect okay for the first time etc

    http://www.vimeo.com/9076128

    pls, tell me!
    both good and bad comments are welcome!
    cheers

  150. polerx on February 3, 2010 said...

    i think the winner should recieve your photoshop training for free. :)

    Sam Rivers on February 3rd, 2010 said...
