As part of the PPP module, we have been required to enter a competition. Because I want to specialise in animation, and particularly character animation I thought that 11 Second Club would be a great one to enter. Each month a new audio clip is published and you have a month in which to animate to that clip, in whatever medium you prefer. I've chosen to do this months as I have some spare time before a new module kicks in. What's good about 11 Second Club is that you can post your work in progress and get feedback from others so you can improve before the deadline. The winner of each month gets an eCritique from an AnimationMentor professional. Obviously I am nowhere near the standard of the winners of each month but it's something to aspire to.
I found that there weren't many animation competitions out there. They were either competitions for festivals or almost like live briefs. 11 Second Club, I think is the best one for myself, even though I find it quite daunting entering amongst much better people than myself. The best piece of advice I got was to just throw myself in there and attack it with gusto! The worst I can do is fail miserably but hopefully I would have gained experience and know how to improve next time!
