Animation Winners at Nats

[Soukup]

I've had a little time to think before I posted, so that I didn't say someting I regret. Personally, I didn't think ours was the best, I kept on thinking that 103 or 192 was going to beat us, because both were very excellent. 103, I believed told a similar story but was done much better.

So, with this said, I believe autodesk has just shot itself in the foot. Why? Simple. Look at the trends of the year before, and how the animation turns out the next year. Verybody always tries to a take a piece of the winning animation and incorpoate it into theirs, we kinda did this year. It's the concept of the year before that people try to come as close to copying, without making it look to obvious. AT least when brainstorming that happened with us.

So next year, when some rookie teams and 1st or 2nd year animation teams see this one, they'll believe that they have a good chance with live video. If a live video one can win this year, why couldn't it win next year, and it would be pretty easy to copy the winning one. I mean if I was around next year, I'd be looking into something with live video. SOoooo, this competition is about to go spiralling downward because it will be less about computer animation and more about everything else.

Let me have some feedback, to see if what I'm saying makes any sense.
