7500 Subscriber Special

Thank you to the 7500+ of you who subscriber to Gold Puffin! You guys are awesome! To celebrate, I am hosting a stop motion contest, which opens today (25th January) and will be open until 25th February. Here are the rules:

1. Your entry should be between 30 seconds and 5 minutes long (excluding the open title / end credits. E.g. if your total video is 5 minutes 30 seconds, and it has 30 seconds of end credits, that would be fine.)
2. Your entry must be uploaded between 25th January and 25th February. (If it is uploaded on the 25th Jan or on 25th Feb that will be fine).
3. You should say the following in the opening credits of your video, or the end credits, or in the description: "This is an entry for the Gold Puffin 7500 subscriber stop motion contest". You don't need to put that in the title of your video (but you can if you want).
4. The theme is "heroes". Include some kind of hero in your stop motion. (You can include a hero in any way you like. Be as imaginative as you want. If you want, you can put an explanation in the description about how your video fits the theme).

**PLEASE NOTE CLIPS WITH SWEARING, EXCESSIVE GORE and ADULT THEMES WILL NOT BE SHOWN ON MY CHANNEL and are not allowed in this contest**
Cartoon violence, gun fighting, fist fighting, and small amounts of blood are permitted!

Other things to note:
* When you have uploaded your entry, please put a comment on this video with a link to your animation.
