The Competition[/B]
Bristol School of Animation in conjunction with Aardman Animations Ltd is pleased to announce its annual storyboarding competition for 2006. A storyboard visually conveys the plot and action of a scene, or shot, or whole film/commercial. We are looking for talented individuals to produce original and imaginative storyboards (no more than 20 frames) for a 60-second TV advertisement designed to raise public awareness of the dangers of global warming. It should aim to deliver a message that inspires individuals to take personal responsibility for the conservation of energy, highlighting the contribution that can be made by people at a domestic level. The competition judges will be looking for skills in the development and communication of a strong concept likely to influence the general public.
