New Stikfas Contest


Hey everyone, we are throwing a really fun contest where you can win tons of prizes! The contest is hosted by Saizon, the American distributors for Stikfas. They are giving away $50.00 worth of free Stikfas to the second place winner and a 14 inch bronze Stikfas and $100.00 worth of free Stikfas to the first place winner.

The Rules

It's easy to enter the contest. You can make any type of video, both live action or animated. The subject matter of the video only needs to explain why Stikfas are the best toys to animate using stop motion animation. It can be any length, but it must be completed by October 15th 2008.

Once your video is completed, send me an e-mail with a link to your entry and we will post that link here on the page - along with your name. We also need your shipping address in case you win the contest, and then we can talk about what Stikfas you would like for free!

The least expensive place to buy your Stikfas for animating in the contest is currently at Animateclay.com. Visit the page where they are sold by clicking here.

Hey guys,

     I want to thank everyone who entered the contest.  They are all really well done and a lot of fun to watch! There can only be two winners, and Martin from the Stikfas company and I talked about which ones will win and we considered everyone very carefully.

  Ok first off was Alexanders animation. It is very well animated and very creative - I really liked the sound effects and the timing of the kung-fu moves.

  Next was Thomas' video. The idea of pointing out the different points of articulation and the different kinds of Stikfas is great! It really tells why Stikfas are so much fun for stop motion.

    Ignis and Dracos film called The Mad Animator takes you through all different kinds of toys until you realize Stikfas beat all of them. Great use of lighting, background sounds, effects and animation!

  Finally we have Graydens animation. And it is truly one of the best animated Stikfas film I've seen. The timing and fluidity of the moves is really perfect.

  So who wins the contest? Well there are two winners, one for first and one for second place. First place goes to Ignis and Draco. The film shows in a funny way why Stikfas are the best toys to animate.

  And who is second? Grayden Laing for his excellent animation. It really shows the potential that the toys have as a way to either practice stop motion or to make films using them as the main characters.

  So thanks a lot guys for all your hard work. If your a winner you will get notified soon.
