BricksWest™ 2002 Animation Festival And Competition - Official Call For Entries
January 9, 2002 - We are happy to announce the official Call for Entries for
the BricksWest 2002 Animation Festival and Competition.
In an effort to encourage LEGO® fans to develop their ideas in the field of
computer animation and stop-motion animation, BricksWest is running the
BricksWest Animation Festival and Competiton. The animation festival is a
competition among cinematic entries for which there are two separate
divisions: Stop-Motion Animation and Computer-Generated Animation.
The first division, Stop-Motion Animation, uses the LEGO System products
including bricks, mini-figs, and special elements with the techniques of
stop-motion animation to create an "original" cinematic production. The
creator of this work is allowed to use either the LEGO Studios Steven
Spielberg Movie Maker Set or any software and hardware combination at their
disposal to produce the stop-motion cinematic art.
The second division is Computer-Generated Animation, in which the physical
image of LEGO elements such as a mini-fig is not video taped but is instead
created using computer hardware and software. Individuals participating in
this division may use any software and hardware available to them to create
3D or 2D representations of LEGO System pieces and elements to create an
"original" cinematic production.
The official Animation Festival and Competition rules may be found at

To submit your entry to the festival, please download the official entry
form from the BricksWest web site at http://www.brickswest.com/animform.html .
