PINHEAD MISSING PROJECT #4

2009

Pinhead Missing was the answer to the question what if Pinhead vanished. In early 2009 the next major project got underway. The premise was that Pinhead had vanished, and clips needed to be submitted showing where he could be. Turnout for the project was pretty high, proving Pinhead still had legs.

PROJECT DETAILS

Well, it’s time for our latest project, Our dear friend Pinhead seems to have vanished, and it is up to you to help us find out what happened to him. We need your help!  HAVE YOU SEEN PINHEAD?
You can tell your story in many ways!  For example simple sightings of Pinhead, include Pinhead in your clip in some way.  Many examples of this type of clip can be viewed on our View Clips page in “World Project”.    Or you may choose to tell a story about where he is and what he’s doing.  Or show us exactly what happened.   Be straight forward with the facts or be really mysterious.  Check out clips in our Story Project and Mystery Manor Project.  It is all up to you.  We encourage all sorts of entries.

Here are the specific details about the project.
1) There will be two separate divisions, one for 2D animation, and another for 3D Iclone entries.

2) Please include a list of all programs/tools used in your clip's credits. We, along with other editors and animators always find it interesting and helpful to see what methods are used to create your videos.

3)  There are no restrictions on what sort of editing tools or add-on programs you may use to assist you in creating your video.

4) There is no time limit, but we highly recommend keeping your clip under 5 minutes. 

5) Clips can be uploaded when they are completed and the author’s names will be published as they come in. 
We have been fortunate to obtain some amazing prizes for this project from Reallusion, Prodad and Pinnacle.

Deadline for entries is April 17, 2009.

At contest close, we will have the official on-line vote for your favorite videos and the winners will be the recipients of the infamous “Golden Pinhead Award” and your name will be placed on a statue and stored in our “Hall of Fame”.
Good luck to everyone, but most of all have fun.
