In the spirit of gracious professionalism, I'd like to say that FIRST has produced many great animators and many of us among FIRST animators are equally qualified for this "top secret project"
As Katie mentioned before, I am a senior and will be in college in the fall. I'm currently working a project that requires my modeling/lighting/animating experience. Two of my friends and I are developing a street fighter style game and my responsibility is to make the characters and settings. Most likely, I will be unable to partake in this "top secret project"
However, Mattk, if you dont mind, I am still interested in what this project is about and would like some details. my email is:
kcy88@earthlink.net and I can get back to you with more of my personal work if you'd like to see them.
On a side note, I've noticed that every year, the animations from all teams get better and better and more creative. Keep up the good work. If I may, I'd like to recommend Matt Conte or MConte05 (his CD name) because he is an amazing animator as well; especially with reactor.
