Today is the day

Brian has his interview at 1:30 this afternoon, and Karl's class at CCS will have him presenting another project (this class finally became really interesting for him over the last two sessions). Animating his Maya creation is making him happy (kind of offsets the reaction he is having to the three week long animation thing in the other class - although, the fact that this has taken 3 weeks is all on his shoulders). Here is a link to the last class project #2 on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cVy06IeOTo

Just click on the link and let the video load completely before playing. An explanation of the project is posted with the video, so you can read that while the video loads.

The whole thing is less than 2 minutes, and really neat. Karl's bit is the robot (well, from the witch reaching for, and dropping her wand, to more than midway through the dancing robot), and yes, a good bit of the soundtrack is me. What can I say, it was fun to do; I filled in the holes and put a music bed under it, but Karl's robot is a show-stealer!

My only complaint is that the skeezer student who said he/she would put together end credits really shafted a bunch of kids by not illustrating their names as prominently readable as the first bunch (their own and a few friends). The last dozen or so kids really got screwed (and yes, Karl was one of those). But, on the positive side, this project is over and there soon will be something new and fun to view! Karl's short (the next class assignment) is close to being finished. So far, so good. He has over 170 cells drawn so far, and he's not done, yet.
