This is a contest piece for the AnimWatch AnimClips Animation Challenge #1 contest. Meant to replace the Ten-Second Club where your given a peice of audio, and a timeline, and the guide to NOT alter the audio clip in any shape or form.
I did not model the characters, they are models and rigs my school provided me.

All animation was dont by me though.
Few things:
- Yes i know his eyes are that colour. I did actually re-render this with motion-blur and corrected the colours of some things (most notibly the eye colour) unfortunately the renderer got confused or something and rendered out half of the animation and then the same first half in different file na,es/ It was pretty hilarious, but took well over 98 hours or rendering time with a render farm in ordeer to apply motion blur on Gyro, ugh....
-Erics arms at the end are a tad weak in the animation dept, i know, i was burnt out and just needed to finish it, deadline was approaching
...umm...thats about it.
Software used: Softimage|XSI Advanced 6.0
Rendering: Softimage|XSI Mental Ray
Encoded with: Quicktime Sorenses 3 w/ uLaw2:1 Audio compression
hmm.. not sure what else to spill about this, other than hey, its at leasta good start on a portolio (which i sorely need to add content too).
Next up: Ill be revamping "Transparent" (http://www.newgrounds.co m/portal/view/167052) with better character models and hopefully better animation production values than this one.
I can hardly wait :)
