Quote from FL-NordinStone its kind of weird to show of stuff in a WIP thread
especially the screenshot thing because most of the animations i make are based on the suprise element and posting screenshots isnt really suprise like
hell at the end of making my animation i would have posted so much screen shots that i actually dont even need to show the animation itself
so my question basicly is: is the WIP score based on how many screenshot you have or is it completely up to us what we want to post in there as long as we update it however we can

Quote from HewittThe WIP score is based on how much of a WIP it is. You can post screenies on it all day like it was your facebook page, but the bottom line is, there needs to be a kind of progression. Judges wanna know what went through your mind as you made your anim, so they aren't just looking for your screenshots, they wanna pick your brain.
This is something I've noticed alot in every progress thread, is that all they do is post screenies. Lol. Stone already mentioned it in his OP: they're meant to represent your dirty laundry; how/why something in the anim turned out to be the way it should. Concept Art. The Actual Storyboards. Stuff that will never make it in (you can post anything, and if you don't use it, it becomes deleted content as long as its relevant and you can explain it). Explanations for things in a manner by which it is explained in a DVD Commentary. Those are the things they're looking for.
It often amuses me how the very first thing everyone does is just say "Story - 100%" but then they never show the draft storyboard like its suppose to be some kind of surprise. Perhaps it is, but what is the point of withholding information in a competition that requires you to open up.
EDIT: Okay I'm exaggerating. Not everyone does this. But still, it's quite common.
Screenshots explain jack shit if there is no context behind it.
