Welcome back to Watchcat Wednesday. A lot of things are happening this week, including the winners of the 24hours animation contest and Student Academy Awards. I won 1st in Animation a century ago, when Film critic and Animation Historian, Leonard Maltin handed me my award for my film "Cat & Rat". 

Ever since then, I have been encouraging my students to enter their films into this and other animation film festivals.

This weekend was the 24 Hours Animation contest were students form into a team of 5, are given a theme and then have 24 hours to make a :30 second animated film.

The team can choose any animation style from traditional, to computer and even stop motion. The contest has grows larger every year and this year, 44 schools schools participating with 183 Teams completing or 915 students all working to complete a :30 second animated film based on the theme in 24 hours.

 

 

 

 

The winners are judged and the top 5 films are given prizes from various studio sponsors. This one came in 27th out of 183 from CSULB, which we at the Watchcat files really liked a lot.

Help an Animal Shelter Click on the ads!

A few more clicks yielded .86 cents this week and this month so far, we have $1.67. Our grand total is still at $48.06, and we encourage you to click on the ads to show your support. We are hoping to pass the $50 mark or more this month with your help. 

Google won't write us a check until they get $100 or more in clicks. So 15 viewers might read this and only one person will click on an ad. However, if every viewer clicked, I wouldn't have to write this stuff on every post.

When we do get a check from Google, we want to donate the money to a local animal shelter. Every little click will help an Animal in need.

Thank You and keep clicking!
