First of all congrats to your animation, to people who are ripping on it, please stop what is done is done, how would you feel if you get the same criticism.

Here is my only beef with your statement:

If you go to the awards documents under where the Autodesk Award for Visualization is, read what the purpose of the award is:


Purpose of Award:
Honor excellence in student animation.

Also

6.2 Award Description
The Award recognizes 30 seconds of student animation that clearly and creatively illustrates
what FIRST means to your team...........

Now i believe that it says animation, not live video.

I believe that using a little live video to mix in with the animation is great, however stand alone video i believe is a no-no and i will be talking to Ted about this this upcoming Saturday.

Like i said that I do not mean to rip on you at all T967, i believe that your presentation was very good, however I believe that a lot of teams are not following the rule criteria or the spirit of what the award is supposed to be. I believe that a lot of teams incorporated in their animation what would have been on their chairman's award submission had they allowed video.

My 2/1/2 cents

- Tyler
