Considering how good I am at animation (I can't do animation), I'd say that's pretty good!

That was cute.

But a word of advice if you wanna stick in this field. If it's fun, you're not working hard enough ;)

Yeah we used Maya 6.0 for modeling, blocking and procedural animation and Premier Pro 1.5 for post production sound and editing!

First class I have actually had fun in, in a long time... working into the morning watching 10 movies back to back while editing and waiting for the frames to render... It was a great group of guys with some great creativity and some amazing tallent.

That's cool. Animation and modelling is something I haven't really gotten much into yet.

I didn't go to the website so how was I supposed to know?

I know that that takes a lot of work to put together, but most people are going to say it looks like crap because they're used to hollywood-style animations. Good work! I think the sound could use some smoothing-over though.

How long did that take to render? What did you do it with?

Thanks for the apreciation! There were a ton of hours put into this thing over 10 weeks from brainstorming the storyline to the end product which you just saw!

To address both your comment on the music, it was the last thing done and unfortunatly it was done in about an hour and a half at 6 in the am after about 18 hours streight of hardcore production! I agree with you both, it could be better and should probably be redone... {:eek:( Not only does the style of music change drastically but the timing of some clips and the sound in general could be cleaned and transitioned better!
