We are looking for short animation loops. All the selected animation will be combined to one solid animation which will be projected to the wall of Central Library Oodi’s 1st floor cafeteria. The animation will be visible whole month in October. We encourage for insightful pieces which will reflect the diversity of animation art and bring joy for the audience. The piece does not have to be new, but we emphasize animations which haven’t been yet widely seen.
The technique for the animation is not limited. There can’t be any sound in the animation.
The animation should be suitable for open space and therefore it can’t have any violence or phonographic imagery and it should not violete human rights.
Technical requirements:
– Resolution fullHD (1920×1080)
– QuickTime- videofile
– Codec: H.264/AVCHD
– Container: mov.
The call is open until August 15th. Final animation will be selected in the beginning of September.
