Looks like Ham's gonna win by default 

m_) First of all,

m_) to all the ones who think one day is not enough, or 3 days in the case of Matt, let me inform you that once penguin boy won by making one quick clip in a matter of a night time or so. In other words, don't let time ever discourage you to come up with something. Sometimes the exercise is losing that fear to time itself rather than finding the "perfect" time to use it, or the perfect time to come up with a picture maybe? (hehe...analogy intended)

m_) as for Hammy, sorry mate, but I am not so sure if I found the theme in your video. For this I give kudos to Kind of Boredom. The only disappointing thing there is your name, because that was NOT boring to watch. You made some great puppet there with expressions and dress that gives some personality. You used some nice movement making the picture. Maybe the plot was a bit poor but overall great animating!!!

m_) Good Job King!

Well, the day's not over yet.  I think you're partially right metal, I won't let time discourage me from entering this month's challenge.  I'm going to film something by the end of today and post it. I have an idea, some old sets, and a few puppets I can take out of "retirement".   

I do think you have to be more realistic about the time frame though.  The intended film I was shooting for the challenge would be impossible to finish and still maintain high production value.   I was waiting on an actor's voice over work, still hadn't built-up puppets, and needed to build sets.   Even the best would find that task daunting to accomplish in a few days.

Good point, metal.  I've been trying to think that way my whole life lol

Thanks for motivating me

It's a little after 1 am here and I finished a film for the challenge.  I spent 6 hours on it - i've never animated anything in that short span of time.  I didn't worry about shutter or even use a frame grabber...I just freehanded it kind of.  Very intense few hours. 
Enjoy.

Good work, guys!  I can see difficulties, but also good stuff in all the entries.
A few of us were tied up with the Uncle Ray's Birthday challenge this month, which made it a bit tough for the regular one to get as much attention as it deserved.  Probably you'll get more entries for July.
