Toon Boom Contest

Attachment 98908
Well, sorry guys, this is a shameless plug for my entry in the Toon Boom Harmony contest. Winners--not sure how many--receive a lifetime license for the Toon Boom software of their choice. My entry is under my legal name, Wayne Van Blarcom. I use Harmony, along with XDP, on a daily basis for all my animation work. It is Toon Boom's top of the line software and is quite expensive. So if you'd like to drop by and cast your vote I'd appreciate it. Thanks for your support!

Duh! Thanks, Gary! It's there now and here it is, one mo' time: https://contests.toonboom.com/

OMG Zeb - it's like the ToonBoom X-Factor!

Nice work Zeb - Awesome!

I feel some definite hardware envy with those tablets and desks.

Perhaps there should be a Xara-factor competition. Just call me Simon..

Besides your rap, I did like, in particular, Brittany Clark's animation.

Looks like impressive software.

Good luck Zeb!

Thanks, Paul! Yeah, I did like Brittany's as well--short and sweet. For awhile there she was the front runner. I was hanging around second place for awhile but have dropped to around fourth now. After mine was posted I thought I should've added some animated characters popping in and out of the screen punctuating various parts of the rap. I also thought I should've filmed the whole thing from a view of me at my desk with some artwork on the screen--isn't hindsight wonderful?

A Xara competition would be cool!

As amusing as the competition is, it does make you think that it's cool stuff.

American Idol next year?

Quite lot of participants seems, of course one five stars higher your average now

Thanks everyone for your support and votes! Guess what? I WON! I was voted as Toon Boom's favorite! Well, whadaya know! I guess the folks at TB ended the contest earlier than they had previously announced, perhaps the voting had slowed down or something, I don't know. In any case, that is my BIG news and made my day for sure! Thanks again for your help with this! I am forever grateful!

Congrats, Zeb! One of the rare times my vote had the desired outcome...

I was voted as Toon Boom's favorite!

Congratulations!

I don't think we had any influence on that award, though!

Now we need a rap for Xara..

Yeah, I'll have to think about that one. Xara is by far my favorite graphics program!

Did you see the price of the Licence for Harmony and I thought Adobe was expensive. Nice line effects, the bezier handles so easy to use and also to tidy up. Now why can't Xara have that? Even Zeb's rap was good too.

OK, how expensive is it? (I couldn't spot a price on the website)

2 user £2500 for the pleasure and that was from the forums as you had to contact the company for a quote. Also that was the smallest option as Harmony is very network configure so that many can comment and input as the programme is for studio based.

I guess in a professional studio that figure may not be an issue, or you could win a competition, of course.. ;-)

My thoughts precisely! This was way out of my budget! And of course they update the program about once a year so it is a big saving for me. Updates are considerably less than the kickoff price but still, when a piece of software is your daily bread and butter, it's worth it.
