We have an awesome sponsor for this Project. Threadless is giving away two great prize packages including The T-Shirt, “Photographer” that I modeled above. Make a Five Second animation based on the theme “Nude No More” and submit it using the form below to enter the contest. The winner will get a package including the “Photographer” shirt sexily modeled above, a “I heart Threadless” Tshirt and a grab bag of great threadless gear including Issues of Faesthetic Magazine, A three pack of Field Notes , funny bumper stickers, Threadless sharpies and a crap ton of fun buttons. A random winner will also be picked from all the entries will receive a “Photographers” Tshirt and some more threadless shwag. Thanks again to Threadless for sponsoring the contest. Have fun animating this one.
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 “Nude No More” 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 the form below 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.

OMG…this is the big one.some hurdles but will give it a shot.
AWESOME Nick!
Nice new theme Nick!!! Will definitely try to make something again. And that sweater from threadless you and the Misses are wearing is soooo cool!!!
My girlfriend is a photographer, I will have to get her one of those, she would love it.
Whoah! This is a big one.
I just received the Threadless newsletter saying they’ll be announcing big news in the Thursday newsletter – do you think you may have broken the news early?
Hmmm… tricky one
looking forward to see the submissions for this one. I’ll make my own if i can find a nice twist for this one
gangsta!
Dude! cool theme cant wait to see what people come up with, will start just as soon as i finish work!! cant wait.
thats an awesome photo up above there.. amazing.. im gonna try too.. seems kinda crackable..
Dang, who knew you could look so good.

mmm brotherly love.
This sounds like a really awesome idea. I think I might actually consider participating!
Thanks
Hm… I am not native english and I have some difficulties to understand the theme.
Do you refer to nude like naked ?
“Nude no more” is like “no more nude” ? (picturing someone with a sign “NO MORE NUDE PLEASE” written on it xD).
Sorry if it sounds silly but I really need answers xD
Thanks.
Max on June 8th, 2010 said...
yeah, naked no more.
Rickard Bengtsson on June 8th, 2010 said...
Nude means naked, yes.
Sweet theme Nick. Brainstorm is in session!
Merci on June 8th, 2010 said...
Okay so this 5SP gonna be reaaaally HOT isn’t it ?
misra on June 8th, 2010 said...
there’s a differnce between nude and naked actually. not a native speaker aswell.
naked is more like your dad walking out of the shower. nude is more your girl friend walking slowly, showing of her body curves, like some model. diffrence is, naked has no erotic in it while nude is more of a sexy thing.
Kyle on June 8th, 2010 said...
Nude is also used in a more tasteful way than Naked. Describing art or photography.
Does it have to be PG-13?
The Gorilla on June 8th, 2010 said...
Soft R is probably OK. But X will not be accepted.
Piouf …. ive no idea ….
you remind me of morgan from chuck

Great contest! First time entering, I had fun making my animation.
Nick I really like the photo of you for the nude – no- more promo photo. Well you share a tutorial in the photography section on that technique?
Hey Nick
Finally I have had the guts to enter your competition, and I really enjoyed it. But I can´t see it on your Vimeo-page, so I am not sure if I uploaded it correctly, so here it is again:

All the best

First time entering as well
I will burn in hell after this one
Had so much fun doing it!
Great theme. Thank you.
oh, my link (just incase):
http://vimeo.com/12473080
not sure if my video posted, heres the link just in case
http://vimeo.com/12475847
I submitted my video earlier but just discovered it was too long. Dumb newbie mistake by me. Forgot c4d starts at frame 0 so ended up with a 151 frame video.
If mine was rejected I’ve replaced it now with proper 5 second one. 150 frames dead on.
http://vimeo.com/12471324
Sorry about the mess up.
My video “Nude No More” – http://vimeo.com/12488222
Max on June 11th, 2010 said...
dude that’s more than twice the allowed time and I can’t tell how it has anything to do with the subject?
Matt on June 11th, 2010 said...
HM….
maksim,please tell me what your animation has to do with the subject, i think it´s too abstract for me
Maksim on June 11th, 2010 said...
I’m just out of Ukraine, and not good at English! Perhaps because of this I did not do it on! I’m sorry if something is broken! To understand what is there to question, I use translator!
Why cant I see videos after installing Safari 5. Anyone knows that?
Telepati on June 11th, 2010 said...
Ok. I found it. Some extensions locked my video preview. I delete all and works perfectly. Sorry…
Here’s mine : http://www.vimeo.com/12491604
Did mine, hope you all like it, please excuse the picture quality, I tried to experiment with making it a bit fuzzy like it is being shot with a cheap old camera.
http://vimeo.com/12492745
I thought the point of the new add your video box in the blog post was to not clutter the comments with vimeo links?
Mine’s added and I just had an idea for a new video!
Daniel Amedoda on June 12th, 2010 said...
Sorry, I wasn’t sure my one got posted initially.
i redid the dynamics in mine. leaving original one as submission, but just thought id post new version here anyway, http://vimeo.com/12520228
Add this Nick: http://vimeo.com/12533491
PLUS, anyone can download my C4D file and see how I made it and use it for their own personal use: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3508570/Matt%20Balzan_nudenomore.c4d

Abel on June 19th, 2010 said...
wow, cool dude, I was planning on doing a stop motion with fruits getting their skin back, but since I’m only sixteen, I have to do some stuff for school, so I don’t have any time… Too bad…
Posted mine but it might be too abstract. First time entering this. Also just started playing with mograph.
