An animation from me? Ah, I used to do them but they took so loooooooooooooooooong to do! :) My wife hardly talks to me as it is, so doing them would 'cure' my marriage....
Your still images are head and shoulders above almost everybody else, so I understand. Still, if you enter the 48 Hour Film contest, you only have ... lemme check the rules, here ... 48 hours! So then it doesn't take so long, problem solved. That animation with the dogfight was done in 48 hours, although I admit I used a bunch of "pieces" I had worked up earlier. Its hard to tell what's fair when the live action teams have the real world, including pre-approved locations (signed permits required), actors who have signed releases, props and costumes ready and waiting, etc. I was on one live action team, we did an entire practice video with the same actors, location, props, etc. I don't lose a lot of sleep over it since there are always a handful of live action teams, with dozens of team members each, who are way better than the other several dozen teams. They get the prizes, we are in the several dozen "other" teams. But a good time is had by all.
