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. |
Team 1675 totally agrees. If you were at the Midwest regional last year, then you definitely remember the Cookie Machine...last years topic was to create an invention that would help your community (or something like that) and our team created the cookie machine....unrealistic and it doesn't really help any serious cause, and we didnt win any award, but it was still pretty fun to make and it didnt bore us to death for the time that we worked on it.
Make it creative or funny or anything you want.
By the way, thanks Winnovation again! That info meeting that you had last year at Midwest was great. As was you animation!!!
