This Competition's Specifics:A Tree:

...really!
...that's it!
...I'm not kidding.
This tree can do, become, have done to it, anything you want, as long as it's still 'mostly' tree-like (or at the very least, wood). Be imaginative, I'll be expecting it. Don't let physics, covention, or reality slow you down.
I've taken the liberty of doing the obvious (boring) one just as an example:

just a bit of fun.

It gets sliced down, but just keeps on going.

One of my first thoughts when I saw the sprite, the other being the (much harder to animate) weeping willow woman from KQ5
Edit: baahh! Blewdy unfreeze! I wish I had a better program to have made that.

I think It's pretty good.
If using ninjas to make tree animating cooler isn't cheating...
If you act "mature" and "16-years old" and won't call me psycho behind my back...
If you DO have something better than 56K modem...
If 2 hours per animation wasn't against the rules...
If my anim fits in the rules at all...
...let me present...

Heres mine,

I'll only link it since its not a proper entry, but if you know where it is from, you deserve a cookie!

Do I recognize this comedian from some LSL game?
And if so, where can I apply for my cookie?

No you do not, no cookie for you.

But... but--!
Aw, shucks >:(
oh good god inc! where are you hosting this image? its only 73kb and its taking hours!
ouch.
Well, the server is actually superfast, it's weird, but not the first time i hear that some people won't get any speed there.
Depends on location and/or ISP, I guess. I edited my competitive post and added a mirror (at 2dadventure.com) for those who can't see the pic.
Ok, here's my idea:
What trees do when we're not looking?

:o
What did you mean by that?
Ok, folks.
I guess I'm confused. I wrote the rules (basically copped out) and left it W--I--D--E open, to let the imagination run free. As long as the tree has the starring role, it fits the rules. Haven't seen one, yet, that I'd disqualify. Call me liberal, call me crazy, but the whole idea is to practice our art (or lack thereof) and be creative. So, okay, we're there! I'm liking it anyway.

I think you've done an admirable job, for a first shot. Only crit I could think of, for this particular anim: Put the flying objects closer together, timewise. In other words, don't wait for one piece to leave the frame before moving the next. It would have better flow. But still, a great job!
By the way, everyone, this is becoming rather difficult to choose a favorite. Keep it up.

Honestly, I don't know what the hell's going on here either. Ho-hum.

Awsome man!
Thanks for the great response, and all of the very cool entries. A lot of nice work going on here. Looks like this competition might stick around a while.
It's late here so I'm not going to beat around the bush:
The winner for this Animation Competition is Stefano. I was in stitches!
Anyway, Stefano, it's up to you for the next one. Cheers.
