Safety Animation

[addictedMax]

Who entered? We did

[Éowyn]

The Metalheads entered for the first time this year. We had a very small animation team, (consisting of myself as a student and Eldarion as a mentor) but it looks like enough students got interested to want to make another animation. Click on the link below if you would like to see our animation. http://robotics.pearsoncomputing.net...lowres_web.avi

Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated!

really really nice, Once suggestion. Instead of haveing the hands and the the glasses move pose to pose. Have them more life like and little more fluid. (But not to fluid) Just make it seem like hes shifting weight on invisible legs. (get what im saying?)

But other than that very very well done.

I really like metalheads' animation. I like the idea of personifying and inanimate object relating to safety. The overall effect comes out a little humerous and it gets the message across. We did something similar, except with a first aid kit.

This is our entry.

Congratulations to Team 375 for winning the Safety Animation contest! What a way to start the 2007 season!

Your animation was cute, creative and clearly delivered the message "Surrounded by Safety". You guys did a great job within a VERY short deadline.

[Testament-Doom]

Team 375, your animation is very good I must say. You know how to budget your time well to fit a lot of rules in your animation, plus have an emphasis on being "surrounded by safety". After I submitted the animation and looked at your team's animation, I knew from the start you would be the winners. Good job to all teams who participated in the event.

If only I know how to budget time well.... and didn't have to scrap my old project and had about a little bit less than a week's worth of work to do the safety animation, lol. We learn though . Good luck with the main animation!

Nice job with the animation.

Now I'm going to have my team name our first aid kit.

[Lil' Lavery]

Congratulation 375 on an outstanding animation.


That said, I'd like to warn teams about one thing they mentioned in their animation. Please only wear safety gloves when welding/brazing/forging or other similar activities. Gloves remove sensation from your hands and pose entanglement issues, and should be avoided when possible.

I laughed.
For one thing, this morning I got out our road travel first aid kit, checked it, and put it in my car for the road trip to our remote Kick Off in San Antonio.

Fun animation, congratulations!

Thanks guys. We put a lot of work, effort, and time into this animation, and I'm happy that it paid off. The rest of the animations were also stellar.

Thanks for the pointer Sean. Everyone, please follow all the safety rules that you can find.
