Default July Flipbook Short Film Contest

OK guys, we've got a new one for ya!

You are going to make a (very) short film composed of ten images taken with a digital camera or illustrated graphic. Imagine you are designing a flipbook, NOT a comic strip. When viewed in sequence it should have the effect of a flipbook. You can try to tell a story, or you can just have a scene from a longer story.

You MUST have a Scion in your film, whether in the background or as part of the story. I would not suggest trying to include text, as you would not have time to read them between frames.

EMAIL your final photos, numbered from one to ten, along with your ScionLife username to: admin@scionlife.com

Once I get your photos I will convert them into a small animation and place them on the site for others to see.

-=PRIZE=-
The prize for this month's contest is your choice of the following:
- A Hotchkis lowering spring kit for your Scion model courtesy of www.hotchkistuning.com
- A Tanabe Strut Tower Bar for your tC or xA/xb courtesy of www.tanabe-usa.com
- An AudioFormz fiberglass xB subwoofer enclosure courtesy of www.audioformz.com
- An OEM Scion Red Leather xA/xB Steering wheel courtesy of www.scionevolution.com
- An OEM Scion xB-Plus Security System courtesy of www.scionevolution.com
- A set of OEM xA factory fog lights courtesy of www.scionevolution.com
- A one-year Premium Membership to Scion Life with Prize Pack ($200 value)

-=RULES=-
- Images must be of sufficient size to read writing, etc
- YOUR SCION LIFE SCREEN NAME MUST BE INCLUDED WITH SUBMISSION
- You may enter as many times as you wish

-=JUDGING=-
As always I am the sole judge and my decision is final. Live with it.

Questions: If we were to come up with a .gif of our own, would that be acceptable? Is there a maximum size on pics? Is ten images the limit? It'll be tough to tell a story in ten frames. I guess it's a good challenge that way.

You may come up with a GIF and post it, but I will still need the original photos emailed to me.

Does it matter if I won in May? Is it like a radio contest and I'm now excluded for like 60 days or something? Cause I'd sure like to have that strut bar...

This may sound like a stupid question but does there have to be a scion in EVERY frame? I have my story board all drawn up and I am ready to shoot my pics but the Scion is only in the last 4 scenes. Is this okay?

Same question as VanillaRice. Mine doesnt have them all in it. But it is a valid point of my story if that matters.

I'll send them to you closer to the deadline, I'm not gonna give it away yet....

I would think it's not required in every frame. The first post says "in the background or part of the story" ... so by "part" you could assume it just has to appear at some point.

No, you don't need a Scion in EVERY frame, just somewhere in the sequence.
