First PRIZE

Viktoriya Nesterenko
Welcome to Odessa

Animate with CrazyTalk Animator NOW!! >

Testimonial - Nesterenko Viktoriya

Welcome to Odessa was actually my first 2D animated project and my first real experience with CrazyTalk Animator. It was a pleasure to work with CTA, and what I liked the most is that I've made this project entirely on a Microsoft Surface Pro 4 (no Nvidia card). CTA is by far the fastest and easiest 2D software to use!


Judge's Comments

If there is one entry that really sold their product/service, then its WELCOME TO ODESSA. This wonderful sales pitch delivered a great balance in tempo, graphics, information and overall feeling. Great effort with the elastic motions too!

Winner Prizes:

  • Cash Prize: US $2,000
