Animation Competition: Work Party [Jan 13 - 29] WINNER

Charity · Tue 13/01/2009 05:55:05

Arlene Campbell and Edward Yamamoto have just met at a boring work party. It's your job to entertain them.

Show them talking, drinking, flirting, dancing. Anything two professionals might do at a semi-formal social function. Or if that's just too boring, see if you can help them find a creative (or destructive) way to liven things up a bit. The sky's the limit.

But here are the other limits:

Official Rules:
-A sprite is supplied, with a theme.
-Participants must use the given sprite for their animation.
-The starter of each competition will decide on the winner.
-The winner, who will decide on the next competition's theme, must also supply a sprite.

My additional rules:
-You must use both of the supplied sprites, but you can reposition them as you see fit.
-You are free to resize the canvas.
-Both sprites must be at least minimally animated (That is, if one sprite is responsible for most of the action, at least make the other blink or laugh or something.)
-You may introduce additional sprites, be they props or other co-workers as you see fit.

Competitions aren't about trophies.

Jakerpot · Wed 28/01/2009 21:00:58

but i like them, i like rewards, i like to win, i like to lose too sometimes when its fun. I do it for fun, but if i had a trophie i would be glad

rewards estimulate people, i bet if he putted some trophies on the game, he would get more entries...

"It's your job to entertain them. Show them talking, drinking, flirting, dancing. Anything two professionals might do at a semi-formal social function."

I don't remember the last semi-formal social function I went to where professionals exploded and vaporised each other

Anyway, I'm not submitting an entry, so I'll just keep quiet.

Sorry, I suppose I should have explained... The man was trying to impress the lady with his electrifying personality. Needless to say, the guy doesn't have very much control. :o

That day, Arlene Campbell and Edward Yamamoto learned a very important lesson about Equivalent Exchange. Mankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. And to bring life to a party, someone must die.

Ah. Three guesses where that came from. Heh.

On to the evaluations:
jakerpot -
Pros: The animation nominally depicts smalltalk/flirting, which fits the theme. Some of the blood spurts flowed well.
Cons: The sprites remain basically static. The animation could be smoother and tidier.

rharpe -
Pros: The animation is smooth and aesthetically pleasing. Both characters are thoroughly animated.
Cons: The animation does not depict typical Work Party behavior or tie atypical behavior into the theme in a visibly coherent way.

Conclusion:
Gold medal - rharpe

Silver medal - jakerpot

Congratulations, both.

I suppose I could have come up with something less violent...

Glad you liked it. Thanks for the gold trophy!
