Just for transparency I want to clear up some points :

  • One bounce is 1 submission, but you are allowed to make as many submission as you want in a singular post (as long as each starts and ends on the ground)
  • 2D animation is absolutely allowed.
  • Framing and timing do not need to line up with the example

I’m a bit confused,

One bounce is 1 submission, but you are allowed to make as many submission as you want in a singular post (as long as each starts and ends on the ground)

How will we get judged if we submit, say, 3 different bounces? I assume they’re part of the same entry and are just looked at as a whole?

Yeah, it’s 1 entry, and you get judged on the whole.
The separate submissions don’t have to merge together like in the reference. They can just be separate clips, or if you want to add them in 1 clip, there can be a visible cut.
I just wanted to make sure people didn’t feel obliged to send in a whole sequence of bounces.

That clears things up, thanks!

So, it’s not that you must seperate each bounce into different a submission,
it’s just that you don’t have to make the bounces be together as a whole sequence!
