4mations Beta has landed

”The hairy beast that is 4mations has fought it’s way off the staging server and is now out in the wild… ready to digest your animation babies.

As you´ll know, call for entries opened a few weeks ago, so there´s plenty of juicy content on the site. Some is funny, some intriuging and some just wrong. We´re actually considering replacing the cash reward with therapy vouchers, but that’s another matter.

That´s not everything, we want you to have some investigation work to do, but should give you enough to whet your appetite! Don´t forget, if you´re an animator, the sooner you get your stuff up there, the more eyeballs you´re likely to get oggling your work and the greater your chance of getting a cash reward. Just saying!

4mations has just commissioned 14 web series & game projects to be screened on 4mations from September. We´d like to give a mini round of applause to the successful animators who are now beavering away in their studios to bring you much amusement this autumn. If you´d like to find out more about the chosen few, you can click here.

Oh, and one last thing, don’t forget to watch the welcoming video right to the end… there´s a special something for you, what with you being with us from the very beginning! Plus there´s a cute kitty… come on, where´s your heart?

I was very pleased to find a film I hadn’t seen in years on 4mations, the heartbreaking and very slightly odd Combination Skin originally shown on Channel 4 in 1996.

WordPress doesn’t support the site yet so i can’t embed any films, which i’m sure will be sorted pretty soon.
