The Ice Bucket Challenge: ANIMATED EDITION (My First Collab!)

Posted by LazyAstronaut3D - May 22nd, 2025

That’s right—the dumbest trend of the 2010s is back, and we’re making it demure and artsy.


How To Join:

1️⃣ Animate your OC getting iced (10 sec – 1:10).

2️⃣ Nominate 1-3 animators to suffer next (depending how hectic it gets).

3️⃣ Join the discord and send the clip there by July 20th! (Date might get moved)


Please also comment on this post with the challenge (just copy link or something) so I can easily connect them all and make an epic montage!




The Specifics


Style/Theme: Go crazy, treat it like your own segment as long as it's SFW and not too unhinged


Technical Requirements:


  • Length: 10 seconds - 1:10
  • FPS: 12+ (from an animatic to literal butter)
  • Stage Size: 1920 x 1080 (Landscape)
  • Format: Video (mp4 or mov)
  • Please mention who you nominate (a mention in the clip itself)


Revenue/Profit: None, just a goofy collab.


Co-Authors: You can team up but both of you MUST get iced!


Medium: Animated but you can do stop motion and other methods if you wish. (just don't do it yourself cuz that ain't animated)


Actually Signing Up


Please do notify me before you nominate people, I like keeping an excel sheet of it all (yes I do that)

Here's the link: Google Sheets


Furthermore, you can join the discord: https://discord.gg/zrav557gTm

Just DM me (Mist) that you're in so I can put you into the document!


Questions?

Just DM me.

Either here or discord, anything works.

I am more likely to get to you faster on discords than newgrounds tho.

I ain't a good animator zazaaaa

Well, try it!
You might improve man

@Nitgo bro, same here

I'll try this one

I'm gonna think about it!

this is awesome!!! I'm definitely doing this :))

I'm in

This looks pretty cool of course I'm gonna join

Heck yea!
join the discord so I can explain a few other things :D

@LazyAstronaut3D all right

this looks super fun,, tho i dont know who to nominate T_T

Well, you could join in and find someone to nominate or to nominate you :D
Since this is still a relatively small collab, we have a chain of nominations than free nominations (nominating like 4 people hoping one of them answers)

Sounds good, but I can only participate if I'm nominated, right?

You can join and get nominated (by someone in the server)
Since this is a small collab we are following a "chain" like format than the usual free for all

@LazyAstronaut3D Thank. But how do I submit my nominations?

I saw someone doing this on a beach recently and I was like “Jeez, we’re still doing this?” And I saw your post about animating it so I’m like “Alright, I’m doing this.”

Haha, yea it sounded like a fun idea so I thought "Might as well try"
Join the server for more details, would love for you to participate :D

would rotoscope be against the rules?

Rotoscoping is completely fine, its technically animation :D

Also, I don't really know what rotoscoping is so a simple google search told me that it is when you take a video and essentially "trace" (for the lack of a better word) over each frame of the video to make it into an animation.

July 20th... I might consider.

Hmm i might join

@LazyAstronaut3D yeah it’s like something like that I kinda forgot and google blocked me so thanks for the definition

I see, well, if thats the case then yeah, by all means, go for it gang :D
(Do join the discord so we can get you all set up)

I'm in, but I'll do it alone. Is that allowed?

If you don't have anyone to nominate, you can join the server and I'll get you set up there.
I gotchu trust

@LazyAstronaut3D Much obliged :>

"The dumbest trend of the 2010s is back." You know it was a trend to spread awareness and money for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.

Yes I know that, but in my opinion at least, dumping ice cold water on yourself is dumb fun.
I'm in no way saying that ALS is dumb or anything, I'm referring to the literal act of dumping ice cold water on yourself as a dumb fun kinda thing ;-;

I'm in!
I have several questions:
1. Do I have to nominate only people that joined this collab?
2. Can I use SFX, voice acting or music in my animation for this challenge?
3. I know that only one OC will get iced, but can I animate other characters too if they don't get iced?
4. What is the timezone for the deadline?
