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 current host of THAC is Nathan Mellace.

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. Robinson Wood chose not to be the host because he wished to enter the contest (though ultimately did not actually enter the first THAC; only the second).

The first THAC
The first THAC was held on Brickfilms.com by David West August 27 - 28, 2005. It was scheduled to start at 12 noon GMT, but started half an hour late because David's alarm clock didn't go off.
 * Theme: General
 * Mod Element:

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 J. Watson.

There were insufficient ballots cast by the audience to determine a ranking for the proposed Audience Choice prize. It was decided that the Audience Choice prize would be awarded to the 4th place finisher in the Entrants Choice Awards (Roland Szentesi).

THAC 2
In July 2006, Dave Wardell posted a thread suggesting that THAC be run again and become an annual event, which received an enthusiastic response. THAC2 was run by David West and began at 12 noon GMT on August 19th, 2006. It received 24 entries. The judges were David West, Brendan Henry, and J. Watson. James Morr also submitted a ballot that was rejected for being incomplete.

THAC 3
THAC 3 was run by David West from August 4 - 5, 2007. This contest introduced the concept of two mod elements: the previously established letter mod element, and/or two colors visibly joined together. The theme, "What Really Happened", was a suggestion by Jay Silver. THAC 3 was scheduled to begin at 12:00 noon GMT, but started two hours late because David West had a power outage and his internet was down. It received 27 accepted entries. After only receiving a ballot from one other judge, David West elected to use the Entrant's Choice ballots to determine the Judge's Choice winners, and Joshua Leasure's ballot would determine the single Entrant's Choice winner: Philip Heinrich, for The Pepperonis (who received a Brickfilms.com DVD, donated by Leasure).

THAC 4
"Say, if more people are in favor of doing this more often, how would a winter THAC sound? Maybe one over Christmas Break? I wouldn't mind running a few more before I have to pass the baton on to someone else when I join the Army next summer."

- David West

As David West would not be available to host in summer 2008 and due to demand for more, he decided to host another THAC in 2007. THAC 4 was the first to take place over the winter break, which would later become the standard time period for the contest. THAC 4 began on Saturday, December 29, 2007 at 12:00 Noon GMT. 29 entries were received. It is the last THAC to be hosted by David West, and also the last to take place on Brickfilms.com, before the community moved to Bricks in Motion.

THAC 5
In March 2008, shortly after the brickfilming community moved from Brickfilms.com to ilovebrickfilming.com (later to be renamed Bricks In Motion), Scott "Uncle_Cheesedog" Loeppky began discussion on hosting a contest similar to THAC to quickly get new films on the new site. He eventually contacted David West and got permission to continue the Twenty-four Hour Animation Contest name, as West himself was already thinking about passing the baton since he would be joining the army in summer 2008. Loeppky announced THAC 5 only two days before it took place, leading many users to complain that they hadn't been given enough notice. A second round, "THAC 5B", was therefore held a week later to compensate. The two parts took place on March 29th and April 5th 2008. THAC 5A received 19 entries and THAC 5B received 21 entries.

The combined 40 entries were judged as one single contest, though entrants who entered both rounds only had one film appear on the judges results, leaving 37 entries. Every entry was first ranked by a judging panel consisting of Scott Loeppky, Simon Lunn and Chris Boyer. The top 11 ranking films (instead of 10 due a tie) were then judged by a public vote. All finalists were required to vote in order to be eligible for prizes. The prizes were for first place,  for second and  for third.

What follows is the remaining entries in the order they placed in the judges vote. There is no judges order for the top 11, as they were only presented in alphabetical order for the public to then vote on. The accepted entries that were left off the ranking in favour of the directors' entries from the other round are Nickname by Thomas Missault, Vendetta by Stijn Heirstrate and Teh THAC Idea 2 olol by Filip Bergström. Missault had two films in the top ten before one was removed, and the film that Heirstrate chose to omit actually initially made the top ten, while the one he submitted did not.

THAC 6
THAC 6 began on January 3, 2009, not long after the launch of the finished Bricks in Motion. It started out being hosted by Steve Collins, with control later handed over to Dustin Finstrom during the judging phase. The judges were Philip Heinrich, Dustin Finstrom, Jordan Harris and Evan Linsey. There were 67 entries. Prizes were provided by BrickArms.

An honorable mention was given in the live results chat to SPACE HORSE by Nathan Dice, which was excluded from the top 10 due to lacking the mod element in some shots.

THAC XVI
In 2018, control of THAC was passed from Nathan Wells to Nathan Mellace. A vote on the Bricks in Motion forums decided the date for THAC XVI to be January 5-6, 2019. The rules were updated so that up to 15 seconds of footage in an entry was not required to include the mod element, to allow for close-ups or other such shots that make incorporating the mod element difficult (or also potentially to reduce the amount of reshooting required on account of forgetting to include the mod element in a shot).

THAC XVI received 84 accepted entries; the most ever. The playlist can be found here. The judging panel for THAC XVI will consist of Rachel Dew, Jared Gilbert, Nate Swihart, Chris Wynn, and Nathan Mellace. The prize pool consists of the LEGO sets 40274 Mr. & Mrs. Claus BrickHeadz, 31080 Modular Winter Vacation, and 60202 Minifigures Pack: Outdoor Adventures.
