Re: We Need 'em!

Hello,

I am the mentor for team 388. I agree with you, there are a lot of teams who focus on just the robot. This year we (team 388) do have a seperate team of animators. I would like to start an animation course in the school, however interest in the program is high at first. Then when the students see how complicated the program is, that interest fizzels out very quickly. On top of that, we also have to compete with other school sports and programs. I was asked to be the mentor, because I have used 3Ds MAX before and I am currently working on becoming a film/TV producer. As for places to find mentor's, try looking at your local community college. Also you might try and see if someone from a local TV station or TV production company might be willing to help, just check your local yellow pages. Hope this helps
