Disappointment: Autodesk awards 2007

[Koko Ed]

There are things that can be done about this, but they are not going to happen unless someone (the teams) yell about it and protest this. A little lobbying from all the animators/teams to FIRST on this topic could help. They need to know that this is objectionable, and the animators and teams are upset about it. So you need to get organized and get a group message put together - fast!
We need amunition for the fight with Autodesk over this (they are the ones deleting the award, not FIRST). We need to get a consensus of upset opinions that this is a bad thing that we can then take forward to FIRST and Autodesk.
We have help from an influential person in FIRST (who I am not at liberty to disclose who it is, so don't ask) who is willing to assist us in our fight for the right to party but we the animators have to take the first step to make it happen. So step up, guys!
