Safety Animation

[addictedMax]

Who entered? We did

[Éowyn]

The Metalheads entered for the first time this year. We had a very small animation team, (consisting of myself as a student and Eldarion as a mentor) but it looks like enough students got interested to want to make another animation.

Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated!:)

really really nice, Once suggestion. Instead of haveing the hands and the the glasses move pose to pose. Have them more life like and little more fluid. (But not to fluid) Just make it seem like hes shifting weight on invisible legs. (get what im saying?)

But other than that very very well done.

I really like metalheads' animation. I like the idea of personifying and inanimate object relating to safety. The overall effect comes out a little humerous and it gets the message across. We did something similar, except with a first aid kit.

This is our entry.

Congratulations to Team 375 for winning the Safety Animation contest! What a way to start the 2007 season!

Your animation was cute, creative and clearly delivered the message "Surrounded by Safety". You guys did a great job within a VERY short deadline.

[Testament-Doom]

Team 375, your animation is very good I must say. You know how to budget your time well to fit a lot of rules in your animation, plus have an emphasis on being "surrounded by safety". After I submitted the animation and looked at your team's animation, I knew from the start you would be the winners. Good job to all teams who participated in the event.

If only I know how to budget time well.... and didn't have to scrap my old project and had about a little bit less than a week's worth of work to do the safety animation, lol. We learn though :). Good luck with the main animation!

[Dan Zollman]

Nice job with the animation.

Now I'm going to have my team name our first aid kit.

[Lil' Lavery]

Congratulation 375 on an outstanding animation.


That said, I'd like to warn teams about one thing they mentioned in their animation. Please only wear safety gloves when welding/brazing/forging or other similar activities. Gloves remove sensation from your hands and pose entanglement issues, and should be avoided when possible.

Clothes and Hair
Check your clothes and hair before you walk into the shop. In particular:

* IF YOU HAVE LONG HAIR OR A LONG BEARD, TIE IT UP.
If your hair is caght in spinning machinery, it will be pulled out if you're lucky. If you're unlucky, you will be pulled into the machine.
* NO LOOSE CLOTHING.
Ties, scarves, loose sleves, etc. are prohibited
* NO GLOVES
* REMOVE JEWELERY
* WEAR APPROPRIATE SHOES
No open toed sandals. Waer shoes that give a sure footing. If you are working with heavy objects, steel tes are reccommended.

Nice job with the animation.

Now I'm going to have my team name our first aid kit.

I laughed.
For one thing, this morning I got out our road travel first aid kit, checked it, and put it in my car for the road trip to our remote Kick Off in San Antonio.

Fun animation, congratulations!

Thanks guys. We put a lot of work, effort, and time into this animation, and I'm happy that it paid off. The rest of the animations were also stellar.

Thanks for the pointer Sean. Everyone, please follow all the safety rules that you can find.

CONGRATULATION TO TEAM 375 for winning the 2007 Safety Animation Contest!

A great job and a great start for 2007.
:)

Thankyou everyone for the congratulations and comments.

Your animation was cute, creative and clearly delivered the message "Surrounded by Safety". You guys did a great job within a VERY short deadline.

Hehe, cute is what I was going for. The animation started out as sometihng very normal with ordinary models and no characters. However, one day while playing with pencil and paper in the lab I drew a first aid kit with eyes and a mouth. That's when I decided to scrap the whole animation and make a whole new one with cute and wacky models to match the character. It was tough, but every once in a while I had to remind myself to "think cute."

Congratulations guys, great animation. Hope to see you all at regionals!
