First Battle of the Frames Contest

Battle of the Frames contest

C4DTraining would like to see what you’ve got. So we are going to start having a contest for you to post your work. Each month we’ll have a contest based on a theme. The rules will be simple:

1) Don’t talk about Battle of the Frames (ok, I had to do it) actually, please do tell your friends.
2) You must use Cinema 4D in your entry. The majority of the work should be done in C4D. What is “the majority”? Use your best judgment.
3) The limit is 10 seconds. Music and or sound FX are encouraged
4) Post your video to Vimeo and include a link back to this post.
5) Leave a comment here with a link to your video and I’ll add it to the channel.

Deadline is December 22, 2009 Midnight – Pacific Standard Time.

Unfortunately there is no “prize” other than having the winners posted here for everyone to see…

So the theme for this month is winter/holidays. Use your imagination, practice your Cinema 4D skills and enter the darn contest!!!

Thanks to MographTV for the suggestion on the name of the contest!
