Here’s a little interview we did with Aung Ye Kyaw (Neutron), one of the three winners of Standard Chartered Bank’s Video/Animation Competition. Ye Kyaw took home the Anti-HIVirus US$5,000.00 grand prize!

Tell us your name and where you’re from…
Hi! My name is Aung Ye Kyaw. I am from Myanmar.

Ye Kyaw, otherwise known as Neutron in the eYeka community proudly displays his eYeka certificate!

How long have you been on eYeka and what made you want to be part of the community?
I became a member of eYeka community four months ago. I got this web address from one of my friends and he told me that this site is the good one for the animators. And then, I become a part of this community because I can share the knowledge of animation and design with other animators and designers.

What made you join the Anti-HIVirus contest and what inspired you to do the animation?
First of all, its title, Anti-HIVirus, really attracted me. I believed that if I could do an informative animation, it will provide a great advantage for people. Moreover, creating a good animation is the one that I have been crazy about for ages. The above factors made me want to take part in the contest.

When I was young, I really liked cartoon movies (both 2D and 3D) and also admired the animators who create those attractive movies. I have been dreaming all the time to be a good animator like them. It motivates me to do animations.

Any advice to aspiring animators?
I would like to give the following advice to aspiring animators: “Everyone can be a Hero!” “And so, Keep Moving Forward!” I would also like to thank the jury of Anti-HIVirus Call for Entries and my fellow eYeka community members.

–

Thanks for sharing your passion with us and we look forward to seeing more of your works in the future. Again, congratulations Aung Ye Kyaw!

A little example from us thanks @Claire

Here’s an info that will surely have it’s importance for the rest of the contest !

After having discussed and reviewed with the client the (very good) creations already submitted, we can tell you a bit more about which road to take to raise your chances of winning the 2500€ and the trip to France.

More than a specific innovation on a particular clothe or accessory, you REALLY have to anchor your submission in a collection concept, applicable to the whole summer collection – a main idea is essential, you have to explain it clearly!

The best example to date is a_frique ’s concept, who went from the attributes of the spider’s web, and applied it to a new innovative collection.

There’s two weeks left to expand on your existing concept and complete them, or to start fresh

See you soon!

It’s Ianma with his controversial video “Hit and Run” who will be broadcasted on MTV France, UK, Germany, Italy and Netherlands as early as January!

Congrats to him, thanks to all of you for your incredible films, and for the Youtube results and the Sneakers for life, refer to the Youtube contest page in a couple of weeks!!

Very happy holidays to all!

Degré7, a brand expert in creating extremely effective and innovative winter clothes and accessories and very well know already for its creativity and technological breakthroughs, wishes to launch its first summer collection.

Project yourselves as a Degré7 client, and imagine clothes and accessory concepts that he would need for summer activities !

Degré7 isn’t looking for finished products but concepts, in sync with their user’s demands. Propose concepts, ideas, universes, moods, patterns and build on them… and most of all, make them readable and understandable by illustrating them with a core idea, an atmosphere.…

Drawings, designs, patterns, sketches, outlines, 3D models, pictures, and powerpoint presentations are accepted !

PRIZE

2500€ for Degré7’s enthousiasts’ most relevant and acclaimed concept.

You will also be invited to Degré7 in France to participate to the creation of a product(s) inspired by your idea with the Degré7 teams of stylists and modelists!

Deadline: January 25, 2010
