Maybe a stupid question...

But why are all the winning animations over the 30-second rule?

Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTSjoW_kmKw

That video is over a minute long, substantually more time. My mentors and I have looked over the animation rules and tried to figure out ourselfs how this is allowed, but no dice. Ideas?

Per the rules here:

Quote:

1. Your entry must include: 5-second slate followed by one second of black (see sample slate
provided in the toolkit), followed by the animation of no more than 30 seconds, followed by one
second of black.
a. The initial slate must include:
- Team number
- Team Name
- School
- Title
- Duration (not including slate and black)
- Credits may follow that still frame, but will not be included as part of the timing,
judging or scoring process, and may not be included in the marketing materials used by
Autodesk.

The animation you linked to had a 5-second slate, one second of black, exactly 30 seconds of animation, 1 second of black, all followed by credits (in this case, 34 seconds of credits, if i did my math right). That seems to follow these rules exactly.

5 + 1 + 30 +1 + 5 seconds = 42 seconds, actually.

i believe he was referring the the animation in the youtube link. Which has about 34 seconds of credits.

The minimal 30 second animation length would be:
5+1+30+1=37

the credits don't have a set length they can be as long as you want them to be.
