[T967]

I'm from 967 and the points you all have made are valid. but..... for those that keep calling the award an animation award please understand that the award is Called the Autodesk Visualization Award, not the autodesk animation award. As for only Regional winners getting into nats,(like the chairmans award.)
the judging at the regionals was done by students, the chairmans award is done by the actual representatives of the award. Maybe next year but then they probably won't have student judging. In my own opinion I believe we won because the narration, camara angles, animation, and a good story line all contributed, not just a sweet animation or cool sounds. You need a little of everything.
