I just wanted to say that I was truly impressed with the top 5 animations (as well as many that didn't make it to the top 5). Each of them had such unique features and it was amazing how different the animations were even though they had the same guidelines (kind of like the robots.)
Burning Magnetos (# 342) -- I have to admit, my favorite part was the dog drinking out of the toilet, but I did really like the backgrounds and your attention to detail -- for example the shower curtain.
Falcon Engineering and Robotics (# 547) -- I loved the beginning with the background and colors that you chose. Having a black and white segment was an interesting idea also.
Team # 1528 -- I liked the music selection. I also liked the transitions you used and the way the pollution spread thru the water.
PhyXTGears (# 1720) --I really liked the concept behind the animation with the continue message. My favorite part of the animation was watching the can sink into the water.
Did anyone go to the animation talk on Thursday night where they talked about what they liked about different animations? No one from 1625 was there before Friday and I was curious what they liked/didn't like about the different ones. I guess I want to see if I am learning to appreciate the things that they do.
All I can say is that the whole FIRST experience was phenomenal. I'm glad that we finally had a kid that was old enough to join the team
