We need your Video/Animation work!
Posted on: June 8, 2012
The Flash Forward student film festival is quickly approaching and we need you guys to start submitting your work!
Guidelines
You may submit any moving images. This can include animation or video work. Stuff that you did in AfterEffects, FinalCut, Flash etc. It can be hand-drawn animations, banner ads, 3d animations, basically anything that is moving.
Please submit even the most incomplete work because we would like a nice full show of work. You can submit as many things as you want. Please note that we may not show everything that is submitted.
Voting
This time around we will have categories for voting. Instead of everyone picking their favorites, viewers will nominate their picks for these categories:
BEST IN SHOW: best looking and most effort put into the project
MOST ENTERTAINING: maybe the funniest or just funnest project
Prizes
The prizes are still to be announced but first prize will most likely be one of the following: A terabyte external harddrive, a wacom tablet or one year of free web hosting. In fact why don’t you vote and tell us which you’d prefer?
Instructions
1. Convert your work to a quicktime .mov file. 720×480 resolution is good enough. (the .h264 compression is a nice way to shrink your filesize).
2. Get a free DVD from the secretary in the academics office. (where you go to see kayce)
3. Burn your entries to a DVD. (it doesn’t have to play.. just burn the files as a data dvd). You can ask your instructors for help if you aren’t sure how to do this.
4. Submit the DVD by June 22 to Mr. David Rodriguez’s mailbox. Just give the DVD to the secretary in academics.

So…Chris downloaded the Google Chrome Browser and loves it. I love the ads, and the fact that Google is using various artists to make them (and the customizable artist themes for the browser). Just wanted to share a few of my favorites:
Crocheted “Features”
Pointer “starts faster”

Check out more shorts on the Google Chrome YouTube Channel.
