New Blender Competition: Movie Moments Aug 21st 2012, 05:48 Aside from a grumpy old man I once met in the doctors waiting room, I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like movies. They’re a powerful form of story telling that allow you to get lost in the narratives of the characters lives and completely forget how utterly boring your actual life is. No wonder they’re so popular! So for all you cinephiles out there, it’s time to use your blender talents to create some fan art! Theme The theme is to recreate any scene or character from a movie. It can be new or old film, real or animated. There really aren’t any restrictions other than it must be from a movie. You can inject your own flavour into the scene, making it look cartoony or even create a whole new ending for the movie in your liking. The idea for this competition came from this entry by Jay-artist in the last competition. You get the idea. Go nuts! The Prize $500 donated to a charity of your choice Any item from the Blender eShop A permanent spot in the Winners Hall of Fame Guidelines Only one entry per person It must be an image It must be created with Blender You may use any renderer you wish Minor post processing in Gimp or Photoshop is allowed Minimum image size is 1280 x 720, but the bigger the better (any aspect ratio is fine) Your image must be a new creation, not an existing project It must be your own work. No bought/borrowed or third party models allowed (including MakeHuman) Photographic elements are allowed, but must not be a central part of the image (sky backgrounds are okay. Using a frame from the movie is not!) The image must in some way relate to a movie The winner will be asked to submit the .blend file for proof of its creation Inspiration Obviously what you do in this competition is up to you, but if you’re drawing a blank here’s a few pieces of movie fan art to get your brain firing… Created by Rafael Grassetti Created by Munozvelazquez David Munoz Velazquez Created by Andre McGrail Created by Diego Romo Created by Carlos Bronchales Created by Christophe Desse and Olivier Couston Created by Max Wahyudi Criteria for Judging Entries will be judged on the following criteria: Aesthetics Story telling Impact To increase your chances of winning, aim for all three. “The best art has meaning beyond just an image; perhaps it will bring you to tears, make you laugh, or remind you of something you'd almost forgotten. It stands out in a crowd, and dares to be different.” - More Tips for Winning Watch the movie of choice from start to finish and if possible take screencaps to use as reference. Decide on the style of image you want to create before you open blender. If you are going to make it cartoony, stick with that the whole way through. Refrain from adding text to the image. It’s more fun if we have to guess what movie it’s from 6 Reasons to Enter: Competitions push you to better your work by exploring new themes It teaches you the importance of deadlines It can help you to think creatively by working around the constraints of a set theme Competing alongside other artists can be a great source of motivation Your entries will be posted here on Blender Guru, increasing your exposure You’re helping the world!
