UPDATE – Thanks for all the great entires. Over 200! Stay tuned for the next project. Winners will announced soon.
Straight lines are everywhere! Sometimes we take them for granted. So for this five second project lets see what you can do with them.
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 “Straight Lines Only” to make a five second motion piece and enter it into the form below. 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 see 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?
We are gonna try something different this time around. Instead of posting your entry in the comments we will be using a Wufoo form to take entries.
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. Submit your link to the Wufoo form below and I will add it to the channel
4. Deadline is Wednesday May 5th
Watch the videos at the vimeo channel, or at the FiveSecondProjects Archive

Hey Nick,
I am having trouble uploading my video to the Straight Lines Only 5 Second Project. It says that only one submission per user, and I haven’t submitted yet. So here is my link if you can add it to the channel: http://vimeo.com/11502125
Thanks for taking the time,

Not sure why but Vimeo added an extra second to my entry.The last frame lasts for an additional second. It is 29.97 fps and both the project file and final export are 5 sec.
Please don’t disqualify me.
Here is the link.
