i like your animation also but;

- i was a student animation judge and i though (and others agreed) that it didn't have as much content as other animations.

-content meaning : first is ......

others had each of the main first themes and displayed in a creative way how these themes were used or how we benefited

but... you had a very high creativity score to go with a high technical score

BEN

I have the same problem and it happened for team 108 as well at home and at the site but I can their animation at work. :(

I have the same problem of downloading at schoo, this is because my school blocks downloads (to be able to play my windows media player needs to download a codec).

Im having the same problem...ive heard the animation is awesome and i want to see it...but all my media viewers wont let me look at it. somebody help!! i want to see it....

amen. Whoever this gila human player is...shut it. Animation is the most disreguarded aspect of FIRST. While you make a robot...and you get credit on the field for it...what do animators get. Shafted in basically every way. We get no reckonition...and no respect...and usually ZERO funding. I'm fine with that, I've chossen to accpet that but honestly, why don't you try animation for a year. I will put down 100 dollars right now that you would reconsider your previous staement. I know that every animator on this forum will agree with me. It's not that roboteering is hard...it's that posts like yours have proven why there is no respect for the animation aspect of first.

P.S. If you think I'm over reacting then try animation for a year. I will put 100 bucks down that you'll change your mind. So if you want to disagree.....

For Eric (GilaHumanPlayer), I will add another 500 dollars to that bet. I don't want to start a war cause Eric is my friend but I don't think he realizes how hard animation is just because the most I ever saw him do was animate a couple simple shapes in Max 2.5 over 3 years ago.

w00t 2.5!!!!!!! The good ol' days

great animation btw, I think it is more what first is looking for, ones that show how first is applied in the real world and promote first.

Goto www.divx.com and download the divx player, then you should be able to view it.

I took a lot of offense to the previous comment made by GilaHumanPlayer..... Animation is just... rigorous... 5+ hours everyday after school, entire weekends sitting at a computer... it gets tiring... but you work towards the finished product. Work on something before your criticize it, otherwise you just make yourself look like a fool.

As a past Technokats animator, I would like to say awesome work, and you better keep it up.
