Twenty-four Hour Animation Contest

For a category containing films that were entries to THAC, see Category:Twenty-four Hour Animation Contest brickfilms

The Twenty-four Hour Animation Contest, commonly abbreviated to THAC, is an annual brickfilming contest with a time limit of exactly 24 hours. Participants must create an entire brickfilm from scratch (with the exception of set building, music design, and sound effects) within 24 hours. Originally hosted on Brickfilms.com, THAC is now hosted on and officially run by the website Bricks In Motion. The contest was started by David West in 2005 and has been run by various other individuals since 2008. The twelfth and most recent THAC was run by Nathan Wells.

Origin
The Twenty-four Hour Animation Contest originated from a concept for a brickfilming competition posted by Robinson Wood to the Brickfilms.com forums in January 2005. The concept was for a contest in which animation time would be limited to one hour. Wood presented a clip he had made in one hour as an example of the kind of film which might be produced for such a contest. He asked for feedback on the idea. The general opinion was that the idea for a time-limited contest was good, but one hour was too short. The idea for a twenty-four hour contest was put forward in the thread by Stephen Nolen: "Maybe a ‘one day film’ with the subject matter being introduced at a certain time one day and films expected to be posted before a 24 hour deadline?"

- Stephen Nolen

While the original concept was centred on an honour system, discussion of control of the time limit did begin in the thread. The idea of a mod element (conceptualised as a "special brick") was first suggested by Brendan Henry.

Discussion of the concept continued in the following months. The final idea was for a contest lasting twenty-four hours using a letter mod element. The first Twenty-four Hour Animation Contest was announced with David West as the host on August 9, 2005.

The First THAC
The first THAC was held on Brickfilms.com by David West from 12 noon GMT on August 27th, 2005 to 12 noon GMT on August 28th 2005, though the contest started half an hour late after David's alarm 'failed to go off'.

22 of the films entered successfully followed the rules and qualified and they were judged by ballot in 4 separate categories: Animation, Cinematography, Sound Design, and Story. Judges, Entrants and Audiences could submit their top ten films in each category. Most of the prizes were provided by Nick Maniatis, and the judges were David West, James Morr, Brendan Henry, Robinson Wood, and "Watson Films".

THAC 5
THAC 5 was the first THAC not hosted by David West or on Brickfilms.com. Instead, THAC 5 was hosted by Scott "Uncle_Cheesedog" Loeppky on ilovebrickfilming.com (later to be renamed Bricks In Motion) on April 5th and 12th 2008. THAC 5 was technically two THAC contests that were held a week apart. When THAC 5 was announced just a few days before it was to take place, many users complained that they hadn't been given enough notice. THAC 5A received 19 entries. THAC5B, considered to be the official THAC 5, recieved 38 or 40 entries, including the entries from THAC 5A. They were judged as one single contest.
