There were only two awards, and I think it was a mistake to get rid of the other three; unless there weren't five good animations, which maybe in Autodesk's opinion there weren't. Quite frankly, I wonder whether Autodesk people or Ted Boardman had anything to do with the judging process.
I'm... um... confused. When they played the winning animation, for awhile I wondered if they were accidentally playing a Chairman's entry instead of a Visualization one; then I tried to convince myself that the people there were 3D models. Nope. Personally, I thought that either the team with the crayon-animation, or team #103, should have won, at least out of the animations I saw on Einstein. There may have been other good ones that I missed, and maybe if you're better at looking past technical gimmicks, other teams did better. But even if technical skill isn't everything, that doesn't mean it should be nothing.

I'm with you. I've done animation for 2 years and this year I tried to do something different. But, I saw a lot of great ANIMATIONS when I watched them on the Einstein field. However, there really wasn't much animation in the winning animation. The little there was I know wasn't terribly difficult to put together either since I've been an animator once.........
Even I was a little shocked. And I was wondering why there were only two winning animations this year because there used to be a ton!
