CartoonSmart.com is holding an animation contest and the first prize is a full working copy of Animate Pro. All you have to do is recreate 15 seconds of your favorite non-animated movie with ToonBoom Animate and add it to this Vimeo group. (you can also use the Personal Learning Edition).

I am entering this contest and I’ve already chosen a clip from a movie I love. Here’s the animatic, although the final version might end up surprising you. Connect with me on Twitter for more updates.

(Update: Of course that I need a better looking Jules Winnfield, and this is what I came up with. I hope you all like it).

Now that things are back to normal, here’s a quick update of The Deadly Truth. This link takes you to a facebook version of the video that looks better than Youtube’s. While you are there, you can always befriend me.

Here’s the Youtube one, which for some reason is one second shorter than it should be. Just a taste:

Note: I’m thinking of releasing the Toon Boom Animate source files for this animation once it’s published so that everyone can learn from my mistakes, so stay tuned!
