Quote from NaniteIts actually incredibly quick and simple to make, they actually compensated that with a shorter combo, and doing whatever the hell you want afterward with the finisher. If people wanted to, they could do this in under a week or even at least 3 days.
When you say it like that, it's either gonna be like how a person just spends little effort in order to make an animation.
The round is lacking room for lots of creativity and is mainly gonna be surrounded on the story of "Hostage Situation". But, if that is our main objective to follow, then it is sure to be a lesson when you're in the studio.
I do agree though. Right now is still a pretty bad time to set up an anti-procrastination round. Most of us in America are likely to have family vacation plans. Not to mention finals to study for. But when you guys happen to animate 27 seconds in under 3 hours, that's either saying you just finished the main core of the animation, or just plain lazy enough to make something new or spark. And by spark, I mean something that we haven't seen before.
