Hollywood-based animation studio Titmouse ( http://www.titmouse.net ) is seeking animators with ideas for short films to take part in a reality-style competition TV series titled 7200 Frames.

The series, which takes its title from the number of frames needed to make five minutes of animation, will fully fund and document the creation of three animated short films.

Candidates must be able to draw, animate and direct a five-minute animated film and be able to commit to a production schedule of four to six weeks.

Interviews for the show will be held this summer in Los Angeles and at Comic-Con International in San Diego, where artists will pitch their ideas to a panel of judges aboard a yacht docked near the convention center.

To apply, animators should upload a video no longer than five minutes of them pitching their idea to YouTube and then email a link to the video to subanimate@gmail.com.

Twelve animators will be selected for the series, with three films going into production.

Full details can be found at //www.7200frames.com and the deadline to submit is July 3.

I suggest you guys check that shit out.

Quit being a baby, it's totally possible.

Snake doesn't live in the States. Though I guess he could move there if he really wanted to.

I'm sure the ladies would be all over him after seeing his handsome face on TV.

Very few people currently posting here have the chops, let alone the dedication, to pull something like this off.

Myself included. I'm a pretty shoddy animator.

Ok I just posted another contest. There are a few animated film festivals coming up with submission deadlines August-September, but I don't want to crowd General Discussion up with with 100 threads about these things. After the Titmouse thread dies I'll make an animation festival megathread or something.
