I already am familiar with doing projects online with a team :P (www.russianassault.com),

anyways this would be something that i would be interested in because i know the outcome will most definately be worth it! :D

oh yeah i should inform my partner in crime about this. :p

Instead of using an ftp, I think a CVS server would suit us better, especially if we want to document the progress for others. Just my $0.02.

Hey Roushey -

What about an animation describing the Chairmans Award, or the FIRST Hall of Fame? I know I've had a hard time describing it to people that aren't familiar with the competition.

Or, at competitions, instead of having an announcer read each award description - a brief clip introducing each award.

just ideas.

Keep up the great work man!

Re: Random thoughts that occur while watchin anims
 

what about setting up a blogger account @ www.blogger.com? I know that multiple members can post under one blog, maybe the animators selected could use that to discuss and show work in progress.

some thoughts on the member selection process:
-should have at least one year of experience with FIRST animation competition
-should currently be in high school and on a FIRST team
-should compile personal works and anything done for your robotics team
-an essay? :D indicating which role you want to apply for and describe in detail how you would go about contributing to the project and knowledge on your role. (i.e. if you're applying to do modeling, write something that shows you have knowledge in that area.)

:)

I love the Idea of having little clips that introduce the nominees for each award possibly, or ones that describe what each award will be, that would be like any movie award shows:)

Re: Random thoughts that occur while watchin anims
 

Not being an animator myself, I love the FIRST program and ALL of the ideas so far on this thread. So i say we should start setting up a server outside this or someone make a website(be creative with the title) Even get it a registred .com or .org. Im not even an animator and would be willing to pay for this. What a mark we would all leave on FIRST if we got this going and it continued. Like Roushey would say "Amazing on all counts"

So someone with some ambition get us going on step one, the website or our own blogger or something to get us rolling. Then we can discuss ideas there and figure out where we're going with this. Cause i really think were on to something :D . I would do it but i am not an animator and dont know how you guys want to do this. I'm simply making sure this idea dosent die in this thread.

Count me in! I specialize in spline modeling and environmental design. I know how to use all the reactor functions as well. Sadly, my organics and lighting are terrible. For those of you who haven't seen any of my work, here's something from this year: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...entaclebot.jpg

and somthing from last year:

(Like I said, I'm terrible at organics, so i had to use the same facial tutorial for both years :rolleyes: )

Give me a quick, bulleted summary of an animation and I can do a professional storyboard...even colored, if needed:

What you ought to be really doing is running a charater animation seminar at the championship. That is one serious set of skills you got there, young man.

Re: Random thoughts that occur while watchin anims
