That storyboard ended up in the circular file, though I think it would have been funny if they could have pulled it off. Never ceases to amaze me both the ideas and talents of these kids.
I would have loved to have seen the hamsters ! Post a link when your animation is up tomorrow.

To answer your question about being a newbie, I love it and plan to continue. I used to coach my daughter's basketball team in elementary school and middle school. It just so happens that we ended up with an all-girl animation crew this year. 3Ds Max was brand new to me and I had to do a lot of training to get ready but I did know quite a bit about filmmaking and I knew what I was in for in terms of leading a group of young ladies through a tough project.
