how many people are on your animation team?

From what i have seen of the credits in the movies uploaded to Streamline, most teams have several if not 10 or more people working on their animation. I know our animator would be too modest to point this out, but he was really the only one who worked on our clip. He modeled, animated, rendered, everything. Are the credits just a little to generous in their inclusions, or do most teams really have many people working on their projects. BTW, i think ours is pretty good, you should check it out

Re: how many people are on your animation team?

Our team has only one person on the animation team. He gives credit to the student that helped him debug his animation and the student that wrote the music for it, but he is really the only one that did the animation. He won the visualization award at Pittsburgh last year & we gave him the extra trophy

This year we have eight (plus one or two others who made contributions) in animation. http://www.cybersonics.org/cybersoni.../members02.asp

Advice - learn how to use the software BEFORE the build season. If you don't, you'll spend all of your time learning how to do something rather than getting it done.

Re: how many people are on your animation team?

We additionally have no animation team. The only year we tried it was our rookie year. We simply do not have the resources to do this. Granted, I would like to give animation a shot, but I already am going to have 2+ jobs on our team next year, so thats out of the question. Also, we have no one trained in anything even relating to animation, so that makes our cause even harder to fulfill.

Re: how many people are on your animation team?

I was the only one on our team, I wish I had spent more time over the summer. The reason I never finshed was because I was spending way too much time working on learning new techniques and different features. Even though I didn't finsh the whole animation, I felt I learned A LOT more than I would have just sitting at home.....

We had 3 main people who made the animation, and one other who helped us put it all together at the end.

Re: how many people are on your animation team?

I am the soul animator for my team. Sound was done by another person but I supervised that and editing. All models, textures, etc., were sterenuously done by myself.
