I am also dismayed at the low scores our team has gotten.

Your team had a final score of 38.5; the winning animation received a score of 78.1. You came in 19th out of 20. The lowest score you received from a team was a 16 and the highest score you received from one of the teams was a 75.

Here is out team's animation:

I believe we had good creativity (a gotham city theme), content (fast paced scenes), communication (wipe screens and symbolization), and technical execution (raytracing, shadows, camera pans, moving letters, etc.). Aren't the student judges susposed to be judging by those critera? If so, I believe our animation deserves a much greater score.
I know that some of the responses this thread will receive will mention the "copyrighted" Batman 1966 theme music. Our animation team carefully researched this during our animation building period. We queried the U.S. Government's copyright database and found no mention of the 1966 Batman theme. There were copyrights established for the Batman movie theme but none for the 1966 Batman theme. However, I still cannot be too sure that it isn't copyrighted. If anybody can throw any light on this, please tell me.
If your team chastised us for using "copyrighted" music, I would like to know.
Thanks!
