First PRIZE

Francesco Tammaccaro, Multimedia Designer | Italy
The Wolf that Wanted to Be an Animator

Animate with Cartoon Animator NOW!! >

Testimonial - Francesco Tammaccaro

I am over the moon for winning this year’s competition! The prizes are amazing! The perception Neuron is the perfect Christmas gift and I can’t wait to try it! You really made my day! This year’s entry was a real challenge for me: I wanted to stress-test my abilities and check how viable Cartoon Animator was in a tight-deadline situation. The whole animation, from concept to post production and audio, was done be myself in just 12 days. It was very challenging, but I confirmed that Cartoon Animator can truly be used for creating budget-friendly quality animations in a very short time. Cartoon Animator really delivers what it promises, and that’s why I am using it more and more extensively for all my works.

Ken Chan, Motion & Graphic Designer | Singapore
First Steps: “From Phonics to Reading”

Testimonial - Ken Chan

I was looking for a 2D animation software that will be easy for me to rig up the characters in bones just like in a 3D software when I came across Cartoon Animator 4. The ease of use for rigging and the integration with Adobe Photoshop in the pipeline version has been a great time-saver especially in this project where I need to rig and animate several illustrated characters from scratch. I can spend more time on animating and less on setting up characters - thanks to Cartoon Animator 4 Pipeline!


Judge's Comments

Ken Chan proudly wins second place in the Business category with his well-done explainer video where the teachers and students' characters were taken from the book series illustrations from the book series and animated with CTA.

Winner Prizes:

  • Cash Prize: US $1,000
  • Sponsor Prize: Innovator 16 Pro (Value: $499.99)

THIRD PRIZE

This entire animation was created in a single CA4 Project file, which reduced post-production to mere sound editing.


Judge's Comments

Great job Anita Bell! This 3rd place is a sample business presentation for clients. An animated edu-tainment series with a well-made tempo, good voice acting and great character style!

Winner Prizes:

  • Cash Prize: US $500
