I don't have a problem w/ some people judging animation... I just get paranoid that people just will judge so much on looks and not enough on context, however now that I rethink things, if most of the animators are like you people on these forums, then I shouldn't have to worry.
But somewhere along the line.. I think there needs to be some adult-judge doing something.. I dunno what though. Maybe the students would have some influence and the adults have some influence...
