The Building Contest - AVM Shorts Episode 2

The Building Contest is the 2nd installment of the AVM Shorts series. It was released on YouTube on January 21, 2017.

Plot
The Second Coming using the Minecraft block to create four stacks of every item. Green, Blue, Red, and Yellow each take a stack of every item. TSC then puts away Minecraft, and opens Google Chrome.

TSC presses Google and clicked Google Images. He then takes the 'e' and puts it on the search bar and gradually uses the letters to enter 'excavator'. He clicks on it, and selects a picture of a CAT excavator. Then he signals the other stick figures to build the excavator. TSC then opens a new tab, opens Google Timer, drags the tab to separate the Images tab and sets it to 5 minutes. He then signals all the other stick figures to start and clicks on the timer. Red went for a basic design of the excavator, while Yellow is building the wheels very fast. Blue is more casual, making the excavator crane. Green seems to be struggling, as he couldn't figure out the right terracotta color for the wheels. TSC watches over them and eventually falls asleep. So much for being a judge.

After 5 minutes, everyone went to see Red's build: a simple excavator design with a cat on top, nothing too fancy. TSC asks what's the deal with the cat; he points out the excavator's logo: CAT. TSC nods, and everyone claps for Red's thinking.

The stick figures then move onto Yellow's excavator build. Yellow's build features a redstone mechanism where the claw can move up and down. The stick figures also clap to his build. After that, Blue showcases his build which looks a lot nicer, hence all the other stick figures clap almost instantly.

Then they went to Green's build: a giant, well-detailed excavator with grass sprouting all over it. Everyone awkwardly claps as Green is awarded the winner. While Green dances triumphantly, Blue pulls out a TNT, Yellow ignites it, and Blue throws it on the build. Green saw the TNT on his build and tried to save it, but it exploded anyways and the episode cuts to an end.

Trivia

 * Alan Becker actually wanted to have Blue put vines (since he has the farmer personality) on his build, but realized that it would make Blue's build almost as good as Green's and took it out to add the contrast between the two's building skills. ("The Building Contest" Behind The Scenes)
 * This is the first AVM Shorts where Alan Becker had help in animating.
