Nicktoons/Skillset competition launched
Exciting times - this week Skillset has partnered with Nicktoons to launch a, frankly, brilliant competition for students on our network of industry approved degree courses.
Nicktoons, gawd bless em, have agreed to see pitches for 10 second short films from 80 (eighty, thought I needed to spell it out) students. The winning five will see their films given a professional audio mix and then be aired on Nicktoons UK.
The overall winner will also be offered an internship at Nickelodeon.
I couldn’t be more excited about this one.
The Brief from Nicktoons:
To conceive, write and storyboard an idea for a piece of animation a minimum of 10 seconds long to a maximum of 30 seconds long. It should be character driven humour and can be any style of animation BUT the most important thing is it should make us and our audience laugh!
And some advice too:
+ Think about who your audience is and what makes them laugh
+ Does your idea need to be scripted or does it just use visual humour
+ Consider the use of audio - music, sound effects and voice over
+ What style of animation would fit your idea appropriately
We have more details on the Skillset Website and I’ll be bringing you fresh updates from the pitching sessions and the final winners right here on the blog.
