Hania and I are once again doing our 24in24 challenge. For those who missed out last year, the idea is simple; we aim to create 24 individual animated pieces in the space of 24 hours. The idea was inspired by the 24 Hour Comic Day; an event started by comic guru Scott McCloud. All art, animation and music must be created within the day. Our viewers are able to communicate with us via chat, and give ideas on what they’d like to see animated. The interactivity aspect between us and the viewers played a major role and was a lot of fun last year.
For everyone around the world, your local start time will be different. Here’s a few different times depending on where you are.

The format the same this year, but hoping to improve on the overall quality compared to last year. We’re aiming to do more voice work and reduce the number of ‘filler’ pieces that we did last year. We’ll be trying our best to end it with something great, as opposed to last year’s lackluster 24th animation.
We’ll be keeping names of people who contribute as we go, so that we can place the in the credits at the end once it’s all compiled. While we’ll make every effort to note down everyone’s name, due to the time constraints, it’s very easy to have someone slip through the radar. As such, we can’t guarantee that everyone who contributes will end up in the credits, but we’ll do everything we can.
Last year we broke our promised to have the final piece compiled and up on Newgrounds and Youtube within 2 hours of completion and got it in late. We aren’t making that promise this year, as we’ll be so fatigued at the end that it will be too easy to mess up the final release due to a stupid tired mistake. We’ll try and get it out the next day, but allow up to a week if there are any technical difficulties during compositing.
We hope to see the same faces from last year, as well as some new ones this year. It’ll be fun for all, so tune in and help us out!
Here’s our 24in24 from last year.
