Okay, first off, I donāt like the constant requesgs for originality. It makes me feel like doing any regular character, like Luxo Jr, for example, is not going to be winner. Character is important, but it is difficult to find a character that fits a skillset perfectly, which is what I need to do. On top of that, now I have to 'think outside the box ā for a concept that is a minority of Disney, with only five minutes to spend studying the character, some of which is dedicated to OTHER characters within the short.
And secondly, can you announce this like a year in advance next time? Cuz I always seem to release a concept anf then soon after a contest springs up.
( I am kidding about the year part but a week isnāt much notice for meā¦)
Typing everything out in my proper format can take around an hour. Actually making the concept can take much longer.
No, the OP is stressing using characters that no one else is using, so not inky does the concept have to be origonal, so does the character.
Actually, to ensure I am not copying someone else concept I havenāt read any of the other entrees yet.
Because luxo jr is not outside the box enough.
Maybe you do your concepts like that, but I find that matching a skilest to a character winds up with a much more unique skillset, with a character that matches perfectly. all of my most recent concepts have been done like this: The Mayor of Halloween Town, the hydra, Kerchak, Rabbit, Dr. Facilier, among others.
Exactly. The OP is discpuraging us from using the main character of the short, who has the most screentime within. Just imagine being told not to make a Judy concept becausr she is the main character of Zootopia, and instead you have to make one that has very little screentime, hmm how about the mousefatherās daughter?
I like a little generalization, like specifying it needs to come from full length Disney kovies where there are plenty of side characters with a lot of screentime, but working with shorts, and not being permitted to use the main characters makes a skillset much more difficult, and I feel like it all but plugs the creative juices.
If you based your character of a short that only is five minutes long, you cab watch it as many times as you want, but that id all the info you get for a skillset.
I have no intention of continuing this argument, I was merely claryifying what I said. Therefor do not be looking for any responses to any replies regarding this, I was merely pointing out how small a range this contest covers.
Nonetheless, I an hoping to participate, and I have an idea that I might be able to pull together.
I am ending the contest one week early. You have 8 days and 2 hours to submit for the contest from the time I am posting this. After that I will post in a separate topic the poll to vote!
