What is TNES & BACKUPS! - bewitched - open palette map?
"TNES & BACKUPS! - bewitched - open palette map" is a collaborative animation project in which artists collectively work to form a series of short, palette-restricted animated shorts to an iconic rendition of "Bewitched" by LaufeyCode & Art. As a TNE map, this project encourages boundless creativity allowing participants to choose their own characters and scenarios, whether they are from already established fandoms or entirely original. The real challenge lies in following the limited palette, and making genuinely worthy work on a tight deadline; it is a test of one's skill plus dedication.
How to Play
Participants must create a short animation that fits the given palette and theme of "Bewitched." Each entry must consist of original artwork-nothing is to be traced, stolen, or AI-generated. Ideally, there should be a text and textless version of the animations, where the text version shows the words "Bewitched." This project is geared more toward semi-experienced and experienced animators, preferably those with PMV (Photoshop Motion Vector) or AMV (Anime Music Video) making experience.
Tips & Tricks
- Plan: There is a strict due date, so plan your animation timeline accordingly. The creator states that at least one part can be done in as short a time as 5 hours, but effective time management is key.
- Match Your Palette: Ensuring that your animation sticks to the palette given by the project is paramount to keep consistency across the map.
- Quantity versus Quality: Because the project is time-sensitive, the creator is quite picky about quality; therefore, polish your piece well instead of rushing through.
- Backup: If you wish to back up for some parts, try to mention which ones you prefer, and provide examples of your animation work to have a better shot at getting chosen.
