Dailymotion, the world's largest independent video sharing site, has announced the launch of the "Animation Procreation" contest.
The competition, which runs until January 4, invites animators to upload original videos for a chance to win a development deal with renowned producer Loren Bouchard.
Contestants will be part of Dailymotion's MotionMaker program for its most active creative users. The winning animator will receive mentoring from Bouchard, whose producer, director and writer credits include current Adult Swim hit Lucy: The Daughter of the Devil, as well as such acclaimed animated series as Home Movies, Science Court and Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist.
"We are constantly delighted by the high-quality and imaginative original video contributions submitted by our MotionMakers," said Joy Marcus, general manager of Dailymotion in the United States. "We believe these brilliant individuals should be rewarded. That is why Dailymotion is dedicated to helping these creative individuals get the recognition they deserve."
"Because of the digital tools available today, there's a whole new crop of animators out there doing great work -- some of them very much on their own," commented Bouchard. "I'm looking for artists and storytellers with talent, ideas, and unique points of view, who could benefit from a big brother-type mentor.
"Dailymotion is a fantastic way to connect with this new breed of animators. I look forward to meeting them."
The "Animation Procreation" is co-sponsored by Animation Magazine, the most comprehensive source covering the art and business of animation, including technology, film, television, gaming, commercials, conferences, events and trends. The official call-for-upload video, produced personally by Bouchard, contest rules and additional information are available at animationprocreation.dailymotion.com.
