This is the thread for all discussion concerning the "2012 $20 Prop Challenge: Christmas Corruption."
Please refer to this thread for the official rules.
This is the second year in which we are requiring a theme for the props to be entered. Please see the rules thread for details on the theme.
Everyone be completely aware that winners from the previous challenge (2011 $20 Prop Challenge) are not eligible to win prizes in the current challenge. You may still enter, but your entry will not be in the running for a prize.
Feel free to ask questions, make comments and by all means... talk amongst yourselves.
Wow, gotta say I didn't expect this twist! Guess it's time for a trip to Goodwill and see if inspiration strikes. All I can think of off the top of my head is...
I'm so exited, this will be my first time to enter!! This may have been addressed on the rules page, and I just missed it, but what about cardboard boxes? Are they considered free or is there a price attributed to them?
'It's the most wonderful time of the year
With the kids all prop building
And everyone telling you be of good fear
It's the most wonderful time of the year'
oh wow, have been checking, thinking it would be soon,, this is a thinker,,,, hummmmm dang, it is hard to get this old brain working.. smell the smoke??
Arg, I have no Christmas props at all (no kids, with a cat.) Just lights, ornaments and a couple wreaths. That "something more than just Christmas lights" part is tripping me up!
Guess I go to Goodwill and nose around, but doubt even they have anything out.
I'll allow that provided you can show me pictures of what it originally looked like and pics of what it looks like presently. If you don't have any pics of it in its original state, try and find some online somewhere.
I'll have to amend the rules, but the answer to this is yes and no. You can use the motors and they're free, but I'd like to see this contest be more than just a "what can I scavenge out of old junk" project. You can use the motors but I'd also have to say at least one of the deer frames will need to be incorporated into the prop as well.
Is a christmas item considered a full size christmas tree that is prelit. I mean I have a tree with 900 lights on it and another with none. Doesn't seem like that would be fair. As well, how about a wreath that is all decked out with ornaments/stuff compared to a plain wreath. Technically it came that way but it still has lots of stuff on it. Just curious how that factors in.
I think the point is to make something that is Halloween at heart but slightly Christmas at the same time. Wouldn't make much sense to create a hell hound by reworking the frame and not have it be Christmas like at all. Then it is just another prop build with 3 freebies.
Come on people, stop trying to bend the rules and make a cross between Christmas and Halloween.
ZombieF will clarify, but this is probably a cost that has to be included. Trash bags usually aren't free.
