finishing mine without special element (rage quit)
im waay to far in (90% done) to actually animate a stick reacting to "constant heat" on the floor
lets just hope to christ that the next "special element" isnt CONSTANT DAMAGE

I'm very disappointed, chief.

Just make the floor start to glow in a bit and have a guy jump off.

I don't see what's TOO hard with this special element.

i have found a way and may be able to animate it left handed for the time limit. It didnt say constsntly hurting them. maybe its not hot enough to hurt them a lot when they stand on it but instead the surface is something like alight coal meaning the attacker could KICK the coal into their face. is this allowed?

I DO have one stick burning his feet because of the hot surface dont get me wrong
i just feel very very limited in this one
but i guess thats the point of BSE
(to create an awesome animation with the least at youre disposal)

Did someone thought on having a surface that is not hot the whole time? And that only when it gets hot you perform the combo?. Also why not make only the victim be affected by the hot surface? That way you would be able to make the combo normally and only worry by your "natural reaction" of the victim trying to get away from the hot surface.

I don't see the "limitant fact" in this BSE there are way too many options you can consider, now if you chose to lock yourself and your victim up in a room only with the hot surface there. Well buddy, of course it'll be way more difficult to perform because YOU limited yourself with the background you chose for this round.

And don't worry guys, I know that this is a new and hard element to perform so I'll tell the judges to don't be harsh on the scores when they evaluate the special element.

Quote from Kursura

As stated on the front page, the WHOLE combo must be on a hot floor. Fighting on a harmless surface would be defeating the point.

Oh well the victim WILL get burned, but in the start it is a little hot and the victim feels pain but can still fight and ignore the pain, but later on the ground gets hotter and hotter. The attacker won't get affected though. So...is that ok?

Sounds fine, go for it.

hahahahaha that is EXACTLY what i did
I kinda limited myself because of the style and background i choose
if i however made some sort of control room where a derpy stick was constantly switching the heat on and off i could have came up with someting more interesting than what i have right now... :(
its all my own fault

i was gonna have like puddles of lava in areas and have that affecting the combo when they come in contact with it, that allowed?

Alright this is the last time I refer to a question about this round. Everything you need to know is in the frontpage, or in the Q&A section, read them, and if you don't understand then is just your reading comprehension. You all use your brain and figure a solution by yourselves.

Being independent, is another step to become a good animator.

Lmao. I swear it wasn't directed to anyone ♥. But don't worry, look at what you learnt now, do not limit yourself with the BG, always think in a place that will help you to come up with new and creative ideas while performing an animation. That's what BSE is for, learn from your mistakes try new things and have fun.

This is too hard.
all inspiration is lost. i give up.

There is so much confusion with limitations and freedom in this BSE.

BSE is suppose to have you constrain yourself to a certain field so that you can expand your imagination in the biggest way possible. If you limit your creativity just because of your background, then OK! Think of many possible ways to manipulate it. If you are constrained because of the really difficult special? OK! Think of ways that you can go with it.

BSE is like a studio simulation : You are given a specific direction with an animation piece or scene. Your job is to animate it with the guidelines you are given. You have a minuscule amount of add-ons you can do and only one objective : Create an amazing scene with the tools and goals you're given.

If you guys can't accomplish this, then you're just gonna have to keep trying and trying until you know that you got the point down.
