Re: Animation Ideals
I think the storyboard is most important in the animation. Like, if you can use the robot and the field creatively to show some aspect of FIRST then it doesn't really matter in the end. Its great when there's a story in there. I think those are some of the best and memorable animations.
But I was looking over some animations a while ago, and last years winner had a really simple animation. It was basically shots of a bot on a black background with words and some video (they did have a really cool sounding narrator, which I always find neat), so there's really no one way to go.
Generally, i feel that animation doesn't get the recognition it deserves in FIRST. Last year at the regionals I went to, the judging was done on a tiny TV screen in the pits. You couldn't hear anything, and the whole affair was very distracting...
