Escape Animators in Top 25 in 11 Second Club

Many congratulations to our 2nd year animators who once again have made an impressive showing in the October 11 Second Club Competition, with five students ranked in the top 25. 

Nicole Widmer came in at Number 11, Shauna Ludgate was No 13, Louis Chevis ranked Number 15, Gary Roche was in at Number 18, and Oliver Gallagher made it into the top 25 with an inventive 2D animation entry.

The 11 Second Club is a monthly character animation competition in which aspiring animators compete to win prizes and get their work noticed.

Animators from all over the world participate, animating a character speaking a line of dialogue, which is provided on the first day of every month by the club. 

It's a monthly free animation competition. Participating animators can share their progress with one another and critique each other's work - just like in a real animation studio.

11 Second Club
The 11 Second Club is a monthly animation competition, open to animators anywhere in the world. A line of dialogue is selected and, at the end of the month, all the participants vote for the submission that they consider the best for that month.  The idea of the 11 Second Club is "to give animators a chance to practice their skills in a fun, challenging environment".

This month, the line of dialogue involved one character speaking a single line of dialogue: "what's happening...?"

AN5001
For our students, entry into the competition forms part of the AN5001 second year character animation module, in which students learn the art of character animation and performance.  Success in the competition depends on a democratic vote.
