A few weeks ago, we reported that Sony Online Entertainment was teaming up with Mass Animation to host a DC Universe Online Animation Contest on the game's Facebook page. Today marks the start of that contest, so be sure to enter if you'd like to animate shots in a cinematic trailer or animate character gestures for in-game emotes.

To participate, head over the DC Universe Online Facebook page and click on the DCUO tab. Click the graphic to add the Mass Animation application, which will give you the tools you need to animate the emotes and trailer. If you have any questions, keep an eye on comments and discussion boards on the DCUO Facebook page.

Do you plan to participate in the contest? If you do, let us know how you did with the animation process.
