for the screen thing, you can use a gif or an avi file as a moving texture for whatever happens on the screen. for a glow, use a omni light with the glow and ray lens effects on it. put it inside the monitor so it won't show, then pull it out whe you want the glow to show.

for the vortex, use a tube with a cool swierly texture on it, and hide it inside the monitor, only to expand it when the time comes for much vortex-pwning.

i had written a better tutorial on this, but my computer messed up on me, so if you need a better explaination, let me know an ill type it up again.
What I meant for the music is how would I put non copyrighted songs in the paper work or should I jsut say it was created for my animation. THese songs are NOT COPYRIGHTED, so i shouldn't need any paper work.

Ill try that on teh glass.

I want the screen black then it glows in the middle, but then opens up or swirls towards teh center and opens into teh vortex anyway tyo get the swirl effect or a black hole effect?

Would there be an easy way to have alot of colors flashing or would I have to individual set the each light and color change?

render it at a large format like 740X680 or whatever the requirements are. when you save it as an avi file and click save, the little menu that pops up make sure to go under the tab and choose "no compression." that should do the trick.

k sorry, i saw that just after i posted. ur right, if it's not copyrighted, then it's fine. no worries.

so this vortex, is it within the screen, like an image, or does it come out of the screen? that is still unclear.

for the dot that begins to swirl, easiest way would be an avi texture. i actually can't think of a way to do it other than that. do you have flash to make a swirly thing with? sorry i can't help more than that.

Pretty much the picture I want to get acrross is the monitor is opening you to inside the computer or inside teh internet and its pulling you in. Then the vortex will take you a TRON looking place where are robot is. This all happens once the monitor screen fills up the whole viewpoint.

sounds like you took a picture too close to the wall. the dark lines are probably unequal shadows in the picture. try retaking the picture with good direct lighting on it.

ok, if the monitor is going to fill up the whole screen before it starts moving, then just use a avi for a texture. no other effects necessary.

It's one video per team is what I understand, but you might want to post that on the question and answer system on the FIRST website.

DO you mean like for your title part and your credit parts? Or actual models that are letters in the animation?

You upload the video twice and put the same video into the two different competitions you are going to.

1 of two things if its is blurry in the viewing screen in the program when you are putting it together just hit enter.

If the final product looks blurry it is probably the way you set it up. Exporting it as uncompressed first and if that doesn't work try to set it up as a different layer.
