Hello!
I am very happy to share the news that I have won in the special category "Environmental Relevance" of the Animate Hackathon 2024, which is an online Synfig Studio 2D Animation Hackathon organized by FOSSEE (https://lnkd.in/gNy-gKTp), IIT Bombay.
My topic was "Urban Herbal Planting." This was my mother's initial idea and project that came into life and under her guidance (to present within 3 minutes, with the information given), I made an animation video, to spread awareness about herbal gardening.
The video link to my animation video is in this page's site- https://lnkd.in/gdvKCMPd
The main objective is to promote learning of Synfig Studio, and this time the topic was "Celebrating India's Innovation," where we have to showcase a problem, the action taken, and the innovative solution presented. Whether it's a simple yet ingenious solution found in our grandmother's kitchen or a groundbreaking innovation that has captured the nation's attention, we want to celebrate it all.
There were many criteria for this hackathon such as the video shouldn't be longer than 3 minutes, the animation must be done in Synfig Studio, and use open-source softwares for video-editing and sound.
Here's an intro for this Hackathon-
