be warned, it's about 18 megs!
it's about a toaster and a blender who see some people playing Rock, paper, scissors, so the blender decides he wants to play too.. but the toaster doesn't quite have the tools to play :)
see what you think! :)

The airship one sounds like a good idea. It could show off a lot of graphical techniques. But then, the same-character one could also be good :)
I look forward to whatever you choose!

thanks everyone :)
with regards the jerkiness, there's nothing i could do about that, i tried loads of different formats and in the end it was either a slight compromise on motion or a huge file.. so i compressed it a bit more :)
i'm starting to brainstorm a project for over the summer (done in between work and the rest of my life.. so may not get finished for ages :) ) and so far it's a toss up between doing another skit involving the same characters, or a strange propellor/airship flying through some mountains (the idea there is to use colour and sound to bring a fairly simple animation to life)...
i'm sure i'll make my mind up soon enough :)

That was excellent V_M! I wasn't expecting it to be that good. Nice visuals, sound to match. It did play a little jerky though - only a bit.
Well done :)

Use 'Save link to disk', it's the same thing.

It would mean switching browsers as firefox doesnt let me do "save as"
I'll watch tomorrow.

Haha.

yeah, a lot of it is still fairly "default MAX" (i'd only been using the software for about 6 hours in uni before i started working on this), although i'm a lot better with the curve editor and things now so if i were to make this animation now, it would be a lot more fluid. it looks a bit start->stop in places

yeah, thats because they're fairly d.i.y as well, i just removed them to simulate blinking. a lot of the stuff that could do with changing will get dealt with in year 2 of the course. the brief for this project mean that fixing the eyes and things like that were lower priority.

hehe, yeah, i've seen that about a bazillion times :)
again, year 2 (coming up soon!) is character animation so hopefully the next short will be of better quality in that area :)

that's made my day mate. i knew my animation ond modelling weren't the best, but i'd decided to focus on the story aspect on the animation so timing, pace and framing were more what i focused on. I'm looking to be more of a "director/animator" than anything.

Quite nice. I like the idea, but your camera movement and the movements of the players is a little stiff. For some reason, I didn't like the eyes on the two charatcers. Check out Luxor Junior by Pixar (again, I'm sure you've seen it) to see how expression an emotion can be attained without facial expression.
Still, top stuff, and an impressive (an professional) first short. I couldn't fault the timing.
[edit]Tell you what, my brother works for a major uk animation studio. I'll post him the link, and get some professional feedback for you.
[edit v2.0]Done. He might have a look if he gets time.
