Re: Inspiration for Animation

I think I remember seeing your animation at Championships. Autodesk brought it up and focused in on the excellent animation in it, and paid specific attention to the iiko going down the slide. Well, I at least think it was yours. =)

This year, we just decided on doing something completely different, so we experimented with music more this year. I find with our animation team, we try something new wherever we can, and the inspiration usually comes in the process, like it did for you. We didn't ever stop with one idea, and it kept evolving for the entire time.

The two main aspects that featured in our animation were the music and live-action. Our process started with our animaion lead writing up a storyboard after we had a basic idea of what we wanted to do. Then we spent a lot of time just modelling, and the final few days doing the actual animation.

At school right now, and they block our YouTube, so I can't give you a link, but we are Team 3132, Thunder Down Under. Just look for our YouTube channel (roboroos) and you should be able to find it, as well as some of our old animations. Feel free to ask any questions afterwards.

I hope that helps!
