So, ohh well, autodesk screwed up big this year, maybe we can hope for more respect next year.

My experience:
1999 - Maybe we'll get more respect next year.
2000 - Maybe we'll get more respect next year.
2001 - Maybe we'll get more respect next year.
2002 - Wow, they added honorable mentions. Still, we'd really like some recognition OUTSIDE of the 10 minutes in the awards ceremony.
2003 - Regional animation awards! Wow!.... Oh, these are a tremendous screw-up, and it seems like we're getting even MORE ignored now. Fantastic.
Hoping for the best hasn't done much. Constant lobbying has done little. The only thing we can really do is hope to get one of our own on the inside of FIRST and make some changes. I would LOVE to be that person, but I'm only a college freshman :-/
Also, ahecht, thank you
very much for your kind comments. I'll pass them on to the rest of the animation team. However, being that we didn't even make the top 5 at any of our regionals, it's really surprising to see how many people wanted ours to win.
