The 2012 edition of the Mega Bloks Halo Toymation Contest has launched, and if you have some stop-motion animation skills, can tell a clever story, and want to win some great prizes, you should check this contest out!
CONCEPT & OVERVIEW
To follow-up on our incredibly successful Halo Toymation Contest in 2011, the 2012 competition is utilizing a genre format. Contestants can enter videos into one of the following categories:
• Action: Films focusing primarily on combat and action scenes.
• Comedy: Films dedicated to subverting the usual “intensity” of Halo, be it through straightforward comedy or surrealism.
• Drama: Films that take a more narrative approach to the Halo universe.
• Classical: Films incorporating elements of classical film, such as silence or black and white.
• Sports: Films utilizing either real-world or fantasy (e.g. Griffball) sports.
