Five Second Project “Frog View” – CLOSED

What in the hell is Frog View? We have all seen it in the Camera Menu in Cinema 4D, but what the hell does it do? Let’s try to make something cool with it. If we can’t, maybe we can finally take it the heck out of the menu. Don’t have Cinema 4D? That’s ok. Feel free to make any animation based on the theme, Frog View.

I’m on my Road Trip this month so what better time to have the theme “Road Trip” for this five second project. What makes you think of road trips? It could be vintage gas stations, or the hilly country side, or silly games. Whatever it is, let’s see it! ROCK!

Winner of the Five Second Project “Reverse”

The Gorilla — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 16:25:37 +0000

Winner

A previous winner of the “Fail” Five Second Project, Ross Phillips is no slouch when it comes to fun, simple, and well crafted animations. This entry from Ross was practically a shoe in to win with it’s iconic imagery, globally relatable theme and a brilliant unexpected finish. All of life (awkward teenage years included) crammed into five seconds of keyframed goodness. Bravo!
