Hallo! I'm jacob, from team 114. Glad you like our animation! Sadly, we wont be going to nationals. We'll be at Sillicon Valley, Pacific Northwest, and Sacramento/Davis.

Busy checking out the other animations in this thread. Congrats, all!

Re: Post links to your animation:2007
 

I especially loved this animation, but I congratulate all of you on finishing. Our team was busy making the website so we aren't going to do one this year. We're a first year team so we didn't quite know what we were doing.:D

Re: Post links to your animation:2007
 

I must say that my favorite work was Jacob/ dinkydog's. I really love your work and it is clear you spent a lot of time and took great care to make everything perfect. I also want to give some praise to Peter Casey/ BudyB309 your animation was also very well done. I hope as a newbe I can be as good as you guys someday.

Here's Team 383's Animation
We hope that you like it! I liked the animations I saw so far.
Good luck everyone!

Loved it, good smoke and theme.

Re: Post links to your animation:2007
 

beautiful work! just one thing...
:ahh: why does he throw his can in the garbage?!?!
[recycle?]

Re: Post links to your animation:2007
 

Yes, the entire point of the animation is that a small action like properly disposing your garbage can avoid much bigger consequences, consequences that sometimes may even be unforeseen. If everyone did one small thing like that everyday, we'll all be much better off in the future.

Though it's not really my area, I think the team has really put up a spectacular work this year. The entire team came up with the concept through multiple brainstorms (sometimes better than robot brainstorms, in terms of quantity and quality of ideas) and the animation team transformed the concept into reality, given their possibilities within time and computational resources (the render times... :ahh:.).

Of course, we always produce a bootleg version with some easter egg. This year, we left it in the credits. Fire! :D

Acutually, we might be going to nationals if we win a regional.

Re: Post links to your animation:2007
 

Or some animators that really want to meet him chip in to buy him a plane ticket. ;)

Re: Post links to your animation:2007
 

Even though their team did not go to Atlanta last year, a few of their members (including the animation team) went after their three regional animation wins, so that's a distinct possibility

On topic:

114: great job once again, I see some more regional awards in your future

383: Holy cow, that's one well put together animation! I love the heartbeat theme.

1625: wow, just wow...that's impressive to say the least. Looks promising!

Good luck to all!

Re: Post links to your animation:2007
 

how come in 383s animation there is a tire floating down the stream? i dont think it would have come out of the pipes.

Re: Post links to your animation:2007
 

hhahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahaha :D
good question!

Re: Post links to your animation:2007
 

Oh come on, its never pollution in the water untill there is a tire floating in the water. Take a look at every cartoon that shows pollution in water and you will find the trade mark floating tire.

more on team 383's animation: Good job takeling the human hand. That is one object that most people fear, me especialy. (and i call myself a character animator :ahh:). However the movement when the person throws the can into the garbage is a little slow and robotic almost. Is it still suppose to be slow motion or it just came out that way?

Oh yeah and one more thing. I've been trying to tackle smoke for quite some time. How did you do your smoke? I want to learn different techniques in doing smoke. I know its with particle effects but what are the settings?

The land fill is cool too. what picture did you use as the texture? And the garbage bags at the end are sweet.

All around good job.

oh, yeah and hey i did this yesterday if anybody want to view it. Its not part of the AVA award but i was just testing out my character rig. enjoy

Re: Post links to your animation:2007
 

a tire floating in water is classic!

now the answers:
1 - no, it's not slow motion, we had a lot of problems animating the hand... its very hard to do something realistic...
2 - i will ask the guy who made the smoke for know the settings :)
3 - the land fill texture is a mix of random pics of garbage (or other things) with some opacity maps...

thanks for the compliments! and nice rabbit.. lol :D
