Re: Off-Season Challenge - I Like to Move It, Move It!

There are some things to keep in mind when taking on a project like this.

1. Data flow: your asking for a HUGE amounts of data to be moved accrossed the internet. I'm working on a 2 min and 26 second short and the amount of data that it takes up on my computer is well over 50 GB.

2. Communication: Big problem here. Many people will have different ideas on what you want to accomplish, you have to absolutely make sure you know that they know what you want.

3. Time: a good character animator in the industry takes a week for a good solid 4 -10 seconds of animation. Thats when they know what they are doing. a 3 min song will take a LONG TIME. Its taking me 6 months to produce my 2 min and 26 second animation. I've worked with humanoid characters before, normally 2 hours of work, will produce one second of animation.
