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:
