Welcome to The Weekly Animation Challenge 2020!
A big thanks to all who participated in last year's challenge, and thanks also to everyone old & new who'll be ing up this year! Being that this is the third installment of the Weekly Animation Challenge, I'm sure some of you were hoping for an extra gimmicky angle this time around, but sadly I wasn't able to make ani2020 in 3-D...but maybe I'll still work in a twist ending or something?
ANYWAYS--- as with the last two years, the weekly challenges proceed in a roughly chronological order that'll track with the history of animation! Now I (still) don't claim to be some great expert on that topic, but I think this challenge is…
Welcome to The Weekly Animation Challenge 2020!
A big thanks to all who participated in last year's challenge, and thanks also to everyone old & new who'll be ing up this year! Being that this is the third installment of the Weekly Animation Challenge, I'm sure some of you were hoping for an extra gimmicky angle this time around, but sadly I wasn't able to make ani2020 in 3-D...but maybe I'll still work in a twist ending or something?
ANYWAYS--- as with the last two years, the weekly challenges proceed in a roughly chronological order that'll track with the history of animation! Now I (still) don't claim to be some great expert on that topic, but I think this challenge is a good opportunity for anyone who wants to broaden their exposure to this amazing and versatile medium, and maybe just see something special they wouldn't have otherwise.
Oh and finally, another big thank-you to the founder of the first year's challenge, Peter H. for getting this ball rolling and his continued .
So let's do this!
------------
Here's how to get started:
------------
1) Create your own list. In the Notes for every movie on this list you'll find a description of each week's challenge for 2020. Included with most of these are links that will help you find movies to fulfill that challenge, though you're not limited to choosing just the movies mentioned in the links---as long as an animated film fits the general requirement, it's alright.
2) Tag your list (and any reviews for movies on your list) with ani2020 and post a link to it here. Spread the fun of what kind of films you've unearthed!
3) Watch movies! Do the list in order and watch the medium evolve, or watch what you can when you can. If you've explored one new bit of animation because of this challenge, then it's been a success.
4) Write reviews! Short or long, capture those impressions after your viewing, and to tag 'em with ani2020
5) Read other reviews tagged with ani2020. The animation community on Letterboxd is full of friendly folk with interesting takes on all sorts of animated works, big and small. Help spread the love!
Other Details:
--short or feature length films are ok
--you can always switch out your list picks as needed
--while going outside your comfort zone is encouraged, skip a challenge week if you don't feel right about it.
--feel free to comment with questions, concerns, errors, or just to say hey
--if you're really having trouble finding an animated film from a region, it is acceptable to watch a film from an animator who was originally from that region but then moved elsewhere.
--For those of you weirdos who like some extra challenge with your challenge, some of the weeks will include extra credit!
--have fun!!!
