Re: Looks like 2004 won't be my year.....
Yea, I might be making a small preview to show at the 2004 compo.....
But I was thinking again, perhaps if I did make this short movie, I could have the animation be a "commerical" for the movie (which would be based on our values). And then, in the pits I can have like "showings" of the movie like every hour or so using a data projector..... And maybe even make a small 1-2 minute trailer to be playing continuously to get people interested in watching? I personally think it would make a lot more people interested in the animation competion (and perhaps help FIRST realize how much time we put into these animations?)....... BTW, the trailers, movie and stuff would sorta be based on Black Hawk Down, except without the blood and gore and extreme violence.... If you want to see what the trailers are like, and what I am shooting for, go here: http://www.apple.com/trailers/columbia/black_hawk_down/ |

Re: Looks like 2004 won't be my year.....
We are in the home stretch for our animation. We may make it, we may not. But it will be done. We've worked too long and hard on it to just give up and forget about it.
You owe it to your team and yourself to finish the work you started. Awards are nice but they shouldn't be the sole reason you do FIRST. You'll be better for it if you finish the work. |

Re: Looks like 2004 won't be my year.....
The animation isn't the sole reason that I am doing FIRST, in fact I am disapointed that I wasn't able to do as much as I did last year for our team then this year cause of the animation.....Thats why I will probably work on it this summer, even if the criteira changes, I will still be using what I make for reels to show to colleges and stuff; thats also another reason why I want to win this award, it would be pretty impressive to put on a college resume....
BTW, does anyone know any good links on how to develop a really good short story? Or any books that are good? |

Re: Looks like 2004 won't be my year.....
Yes, it is offical, much like teams #60 and #254 collaborated on their design this year, teams #1098 and #870 are collaborating on an animation.
Many of you know from this post, Matt decided to not complete his animation this year because it was not up to his standard. Me and him have been chatting ever since he asked advice on audio to use for the animation, and have developed what I would say, is quite a unique friendship. Because of this, I'm fully behind in supporting him on his decision to release his animation next year. Not only that, but I will be collaborating with him to make his vision a reality. We will be working together on a daily basis to create possibly the most visually stunning piece of animation FIRST has ever seen. Not only visually stunning, but we're hoping to create a message that will encourage future participants to join FIRST and have a great time doing it. We have only begun on this collaboration, which will be a year in the making. We plan on making a 15 minute animation with complete stunning visuals, an amazing score, ear-bursting sound effects, and a message that will hopefully encourage many more students to join FIRST. Of course the actual animation submitted will be in a somewhat commercial format, with the entire 15 minute animation hopefully being shown at Nationals 2005. We will of course, keep you updated, since this is only pre-production ![]() |
