Closed: Candy Hearts

Yep, it’s time for another Five Second Project. This month’s theme is “Candy Hearts”. It’s time to show the LOVE! Maybe it’s a 5 animation for someone (or something) you love. Perhaps you write out a special message on those yummy heart shaped candies? Not feeling the love? It’s ok. Interpret the theme however you see fit. Just make something, will ya? Get rendering!

Is this a render or photo of candy hearts (theme image).
The Gorilla
Photo, but it would be a fun render to recreate.
Wait, i’ll be right back…
Cory Heimann
I want to see your render.
Marv
Me, too!
Felipe
Sounds like it could be a great exercise in texturing.

Hello Nick,
Great tutorials, learning a lot. If you feel like producing another tut I sure would like to see your procedure for producing a clear plastic bread bag with the opening tied off like you see in the store.
Thank you,
Jim

hey Nick or anyone, on a quick note in reference to this render, how to achieve such quantity of hearts with different textures & positions so varied? the overlapping manually would take hours alone!

Hi Nick
Very strange but creativity stimulating idea =) But I’ve got two questions: Till when do I have to upload my video? 17th of February 24:00? And the second question: You only accept vimeo uploads? No chance to upload it on youtube?
The Gorilla
Yes, midnight sunday is the deadline. Only Vimeo is accepted.
Phalaris
Sorry for disturbing again: Which timezone do you live in? I don’t want to be too late just because of a time difference

Hi, I’m trying to submit my entry for the contest, but I keep getting the following error: “Encountered an API error — Invalid nonce: The oauth_nonce passed has already been used.”
My video is at http://vimeo.com/59695538. Please advise, thanks!
Geoffrey Palmer
Never mind, I tried today and it accepted my submission.

Man I got stuck on this one with zero ideas. But I pushed through and turned this out. https://vimeo.com/channels/candyhearts/59712847
Maybe these should graduate to 10 second projects.
Marv
I know what you mean. I kicked around a couple of ideas related to heart-shaped gears, just couldn’t come up with anything that told a 5 second story. My entry turned out very simplistic and completely different than I anticipated.

why vimeo does not hold on to my original video ? it makes my video really lowRes.!
plese help.
Marv
Unless you are a Vimeo Plus or Vimeo Prime member, you only get one HD upload a week. The video you upload will be SD at first and then Vimeo converts it to HD soon after.
Marv
I mean Vimeo Plus or Vimeo PRO . . .
farzin
thanks. . . . it is unfair.
The Gorilla
Upload 1280 to force Vimeo to render HD.
farzin
thanks nick .
