Ok let me put it to you strait. In animation, you are allowed to do ANYTHING, even if its just a shapes floating around.
Let me give you an example of what I mean. In 2007 the theme for the AVA was "Think Green" The goal was to come up with a solution that would help the environment. Our team produced
This animation. Which is entire unlike anything you would expect.
and it won us the National AVA award. You need to think way outside the box. Do not go with your first idea, its normally the most cliche`d and obvious idea. Try to think of something that no one else will.
And use symbolism and cinema photography techniques, the judges love that. Cinema Photography is not hard to grasp, you just need to slow down the camera and make good compositions.
Unlike the rest of FIRST robotics, Animation is considered an art form, use it to create art.
