Hey guys/gals,

This is my first post to this forum and I have a bit of a different idea or offer for the writers here.. I don't know if anyone here has heard of Cgsociety , it is a very large CG graphics website and they have had large contests in the past and I was going to get a team together to enter the animation category. I plan on getting a group of Carrara users(a 3d app) together to enter the challenge.

I don't know when this contest will start but I think it will be soon , so in the meantime we are trying to produce a practice animation as a group. I proposed 2 challenge topics: "What is that." or "Bang!" and we as a group need to create an animation 30-60sec. long based on one of the themes.

Sooo..... If any of the writers here would like to see their script or story idea turned into an animation now is your chance. We are doing this just for fun as a group of 3d enthusiasts. I wrote a storyboard/script as a starting point but no one else has submitted anything. If you feel like this is something you would like to participate in you can add your name and skill(writer) to the Member sign up page or add your story idea here or here to upload your story.

This is the thread in the Carrara forums here.

Cheers.

That sounds like fun...

So the concept base is "What is that?"... Like when it's late at night and you think you hear Chupacabras in the kitchen?

Or "Bang!" Like when you cat steals your gun out of the night stand and shoots the neighbor's dog?

Or "What is that?" not a sound, but more like you are in a helicopter flying over a forest at dusk and you point out two Sasquatch making humpy, bumpy funky Bigfoot love on a tree stump and you ask the guy next to you to confirm its not two fat hairy guy wrestling...?

I seriously doubt anyone would want to render/animate anything I suggest unless they also get to test lots of hallucinogenic drugs for free. But it still sounds like fun!

Hey McGyver13, You definitely got the idea and I like the cat idea . I wish you would have posted earlier as we have already started with my story already.

MyScript

Awww... Thanks...

That wasn't so much of an idea, or suggestion... My cat once shot the neighbor's dog, so I was using it as an example of being startled by a sound, but seconds after you hear it, you know what it was... yet are hoping it's not what you think it was.

Sort of a- BANG!..."Aaah!... What the hell was that!?... No! I hope it's not...." Kinda moment... I figured pets shooting each other is a common enough occurrence that people might relate to it.

Well, good luck with your script and animations!
