Aniboom and History Channel have teamed up to solicit unique animated interpretations of A-list talent doing 10 readings and musical performances.
The best entries will have a chance to win $35,000 in cash prizes and the opportunity to have their animation shown on the History Channel.
The audio recordings feature talent such as Matt Damon, Marisa Tomei, Bruce Springsteen, Eddie Vedder and Viggo Mortensen and will appear in the film The People Speak, airing later this year on History Channel. The readings celebrate democracy and convey the lives of ordinary Americans who have influenced or changed the course of history.
Animators from the around the world will be able to submit their animations based on the 10 recordings beginning July 15 through the Aniboom site at www.aniboom.com/history.
The contest will occur in two phases, with the first involving the solicitation and submission of entries. For the second phase, five finalists will be given $5,000 each to further develop their animation and may earn the opportunity to have their work aired on History as a 30-second spot. The grand-prize winner receives $10,000 and a development deal with History Channel.
