7 Stages of Animation

One project. Seven stages. Build your crew.

Norrick · Team

Our biggest competition. One project. Seven stages. Build your crew. Teams of 4 to 7: modelers, animators, storyboard artists, whoever you build with. Your captain needs Creator Pro, and one account covers the whole team.

Survive the pipeline. Every stage, your team ships a real deliverable. Through the early stages the community votes you forward. For the final stages, a judges' panel takes the call, where craft decides, not popularity.

Nobody leaves empty. Every stage you complete becomes a permanent verified credit on your profile. Eliminated teams keep every remaining brief and can finish the full pipeline on the Open Track.

Finish all seven and your film screens at the finale. The winning team's film is distributed on UntoldCine.com, receives a recorded professional critique, and gets the full marketing push. We don't pay winners, we launch them.
