my analogy here is this, and if im completely mistaken sombody slap me and tell me ive been ignorant.....

the chairmans award nor any of the design awards are not decided by peer judging...so why should the same be true for animation....and i know that the point of peer judging is to allow the animators to have more control....but still

so heres my comprimise idea....i know this is crazy....but 2 awards...let one be decided by peer judging....one rep from each time like this year....and one by judges....let people know what the professionals liked and what the students liked.....

---end idea-----


I second that (third, whatever). I think that, even though technical is only worth 30% of the score, students grade it as 90%. And when I say techincal, I don't mean the most difficult to make (aka biped and the like), but I mean which looks (and sounds) the best. Many students grade the other areas based on how well they are potrayed by the technical aspect, even if the animation didn't use complecated things like character studio. So yeah, having 2 awards (one student, one proff.) is a great idea. I hope FIRST will seriously consider this for next year.

On a side note, I must congratulate FIRST on doing a much better job with the animation judging than last year. All entries were on DVD and had no loss in quality, and the staff worked hard to make the judging as "fair" as possible. Hopefully next year will be even better.
