CartoonSmart Launches a Toon Boom Animate Pro Contest

Posted on August 30, 2009 by toonboom

Yes, the grand prize is a a free copy of Animate Pro ($1999 value)!

Here’s what we have in mind to enter and win!…

To Enter: Submit a short animation (30 seconds to 1 minute is plenty) in the style of a Classic Animated Commercial. How classic? I’ll post some references below. What I think would be cool to see is something in that style, but with a twist on it. Animate Pro has some amazing 3D capabilities, so I think it would fun to see a piece that looks old at first, but is freshened up by some FX that animators 50 years ago couldn’t work with.

Timeline: We were thinking 2 months is a fair timeline, so lets round that up to October 31.
