Soukup is on a distinguished road
no reason to be lost.

this whole 'animation thing' is basically one way for a team to ulatize their creative talents. Typically animation apeals to more
artistic or creative or computer people. The purpose of the animtion is somewhat misleading.

It is mainly to say what first means to your team. In the rules it gives somewhat specific examples..mentorship..collaboration...teamwork..ro bots..safety. Basically anything goes. For any teams that realy want to know more..you must watch the dvd sent out with the pre-kit. It came with 3ds max..and explained why the criteria for the animation is the way it is.

So to sum up animtion it goes like this: on team...six weeks..must produce a storyboard conceptualize an idea and using 3ds max (animation software) illustarte what aspect of first appeals to your team and do so in under 30 seconds.

hope that helped
