Questions.....

My team (449) and I had a few questions regarding the 2002 animation. The requirements say the animation must be turned in on a cd uncompressed in avi file format 640x480 (assuming 30 fps). However, if the math is done, it is found that even only 640x480 30fps x 30 sec of IMAGE only will take up 829488600 bytes, or more than 100 MB over a CD's capacity. And this is without sound, title screen, or credits. I believe the requirements need to be revised to allow certain compression algorithms to be used as well as allowing a team to turn in the animation on a DVD or in mpeg2 format. Finally, I think the 640x480 frame size should be changed to 720x480, the NTSC broadcasting standard.
