Going to national flash competition!!

Posted by Duchednier May. 18, 2009 @ 12:01 PM EDT

So about a month ago I went to a provincial Flash animating competition in which i faced off against some hefty opponents . . . that all had the abilities of avg. stuff that get blammed in the portal. it was actually king of upsetting that i was the only one there that actually knew how to use flash :/ regardless i won gold easily so tomorrow evening! I'm going to the nationals (for canada) In P.E.I (a small province on the east coast). Free plane ride FTW!

I've watched last years nationals video. . . its about the same quality as the provincials, im hoping that there will be some form of competition, like a fellow newgrounder :P but if not then I guess i'll have to hope the same at the worlds ;)

For those who are wondering, the competition is called "Skills" (Skills manitoba, skills canada etc). They have over a hundred competitions within 2 days, some for 2d/3d animation, then there's some making robotics, building stuff, i dunno . . . yeah!

Next year, do a search for Skills in your area to get involved so that the flash products that they show off aren't sub par as per usual! D=<

Lastly: Tomorrow is my birthday! I turn 18 and am going to a province where the drinking age goes to 19 for a week. What a jip!

that's what happens when you have flash-offs in the middle of nowhere

May. 18, 2009 | 7:36 PM Duchednier responds:

Manitoba really is the middle of nowhere isn't it :P

damn! i wonder if there's a provincial contest in BC.

May. 18, 2009 | 7:37 PM Duchednier responds:

There should be, but you'd have to look into it for next year. Search "Skills bc"

I was third in the city wide. I learned that if you spend to much time on backgrounds you end up running out of time. Hope to see you in provincials next year!

May. 18, 2009 | 7:38 PM Duchednier responds:

I dunno if i can be in it next year as I wont be in high school, but if i can i sure will! I have a system where i do character animations and my partner colours and does bg's, it worked out pretty well

How lame. I shuda done it :( Too bad i never heard of the competition.


May. 18, 2009 | 2:01 PM swiftstylerX says:

I won silver for Saskatchewan, but then again I didn't really do much. The guy I was up against had won Silver in Nationals last year, so I was like, screw it.

So my partner and I just kinda screwed around the whole day, and since there were only two teams, we got medals anyway.

So you'll be against the guy I was against. His name was Dylan and he's a total douche. But he's a pretty good animator, and his animation that he made in just a few hours is better than anything I've seen from you, so I'd watch out.

I'm just saying, don't underestimate the competition. Just because they were easy in your province doesn't mean anything.

May. 18, 2009 | 7:39 PM Duchednier responds:

I deff won't underestimate the competition, thanks for the heads up.


May. 18, 2009 | 2:21 PM MindChamber says:

lol this "Dylan" sounds totally hardcore :3

May. 18, 2009 | 7:49 PM Duchednier responds:

May. 18, 2009 | 2:57 PM Jimp says:

May. 18, 2009 | 7:49 PM Duchednier responds:

But yeah i'll kick his ass!

Now seriously, best of luck, if there was something like that in Argentina, I'd be competing against this:

I came in like 11th for graphic design in Alberta. Thing is I was like 16 going against 18 year olds.

I'd only been using ps for like 2 years at that point.

I never got a chance to go back for grade 12, though.

And congratulations + good luck with the spelling bee, son. Wait, the Skills contest.
