Re: humorous or commercialish?

This is a great question. I'm still confused about what Autodesk is looking for and this will be my third year on Animation. I think it's more challenging now since the regionals are peer judged; many of us have different tastes. Personally, I like an animation that is put together well, flows smoothly, and has several elements that just makes you think, "wow, how did they do that?". Others may look for humor. But what do the professional judges want?

Well, after reviewing all the regional winners from last year's AVA competition from the DVD, I'll have to disagree that most of the winning animations contain humor. Most of them have little or no humor.

And my opinion to Salik's question, I'm still clueless... The teams that win regionals are more like commericials; so I guess teams shouldn't focus too much on humor since pixar isn't judging it... Humor is fine as long as the animation as a whole is "serious" and appealing.

Happy Animating
