Otherwise you would never full fill the previous requirements.
You may want to check out last year's submission from team 166 -- they won an Honorable Mention, and they used video in it (a clip of Ralph Bayer, the inventor of Pong). That animation can be downloaded from: http://www.baesystemsfirst.org/team1...mall_movie.avi

According to Derek (the kid who made virtually () all of that animation), they did NOT use video and animation simultaneously for that clip... on the other hand, the clip clearly does not overpower the animation.

For me, animating is not a career goal. It's not a hobby, either. It's being awake at 5 am at BAE wondering why my hand is self-intersecting, and who the heck X-ref'ed my screwdriver; that's what it is.
