JUDGING
Animations were Judged by TheoryAnimation.com – An international virtual animation studio. Check out their website to see what they are currently up to!
Here are some comments the Judges asked us to pass along:

Team0008: Good story development - Tells a sad story without faces on the characters.
Team0075: Cool use of cell shading early in animation. Could use some work in story clarity.
Team0111: Good story telling - very clear! Clever way to tell the story from the first person perspective.
Team0166: Amazing use of effects! Story could be more clear.
Team0178: Clever, original concept - timing to the music was excellent! Clarity of story could use work.
Team0250: Fantastic concept and great execution.
Team0503: Good use of character animation! Staging could have been better. The flat art style in the beginning was cool!
Team0694: Really original, clever concept! Really great across the board.
Team0811: Good job modelling and rigging your own character - would have loved to see it finished.
Team1519: Good use of the assets - story was somewhat confusing. Effects were pretty cool in showcasing software ability!
Team1676: Technical execution was top notch. Cool assets, scene building and cohesive look!
