Animation Board
Welcome to the animation board, here you can see stop motion work from some of Wfigs best animators. Its pretty awesome. However we do have some rules we ask you to stick to, just to make sure the board goes over
1. No spam replies such as "great 10/10". Put some thought into your replies. It's only gonna take a few extra minutes out of your life.
2. Please do not bump up old Posts from the second page or further back, by posting in them. It pushes down newer animations.
3. No flaming or trolling. If you don't like an animation, don't say ''it sucks'' Especially if its a newer animator. Give them advice on how to make animations better and improve. Be friendly.
4. Make sure your threads are in the right place. Pivot animations belong in the stick figure animation sub board Here. Any questions you have belong in the Chat thread Here. If you wish to post your stop motion figure fed stuff, feel free to post that on the main animation board.
5. Combine your posts, please do not posts lots of your Animations as separate posts on the main board. If you have a new animation but have another post with one of your older animations in, please Update/Modify this to include your new Animation. If your posts are not combined the newest post will be removed.
6. Don't post things that do not belong to you. Nobody likes it when you take credit for other peoples work.
7. Have fun

How to vote on matches
No polls or bad replies. Your vote will only and only count if you do the following:
1) State the username of the person you are voting for. (should I even have to say this?)
2) You must give reason on why you have voted this person as the winner. Could be anything from smoother animation, to most creative. However you need to compare with the other animations in the match. Put thought into your votes, don't just say who you are voting and leave a sentence, put some effort in.
3) Forum status must be above Jobber
If you cannot complete these simple rules, then your vote won't count and will be deleted on the spot, no exceptions.
Note: Alot of users like to get a mark out of 10, but I can't force you to give a mark. Just take it to consideration when voting to make a mark to compare each animation in the match.
If a title match ends in a draw, the champion retains.
Events:
We hold monthly events/PPVs on the forum where you can sign up and compete in matches and for titles. If you want to see previous PPVs they are in the Event History thread Here
