great work comlock and rumi also rinolphus and 2danimation and erveryone ese who entered.

[rindolphus]

Congratulations to Comlock, Rumi, 2Danimation and everyone else. You guys had excellent, superior quality entries. I don't mean to come across as a sore loser, but I feel a little dissapointed because it said that it would be judged strictly based on the "variety" of the dance, and even if the other entries are indeed superb pieces of animation.... oh well, never mind. I'll get over it.

Another thing, besides the kind comments of Josh, Maxamillion, and ElusiveMoose, I didn't get much feedback. Am I being punished for being a newbie?

[ElusiveMoose]

Congrats to all! Some really cool entries...

[rindolphus]

Thanks Josh. Far too kind.

Definitely not Rind, and don't ever feel like a looser man because you are in the winners circle. 3 Judges all came to the same decision when it came to the runner up you were on all ballots. We don't mean to make anyone feel negative about their progress, we wouldn't run these events if we weren't pro animation. It was between you and Rumi for the runner up , you had great additions such as the macarana and great angles, but Rumi took you on the overall quality and style. He took a different style approach that really worked out great. But so did your so please don't take our decision the wrong way. Thats why we have honorable mentions, for those entries that were really hard to decide on :)

You did an outstanding job and should be very proud.

Also now with the contest being over and that I can openly comment on the entry that cought my eye the most. ElusiveMoose had one of my favorite dance routines going but he wan't able to finish. The walking cain dancing routine would have probably won my vote if it was finished. He had some great moves going there.

:blink:

...uh...wow...

Thanks!

...but Comlock's still my hero!!!

:D

[rindolphus]

Thank you very much Greg for your encouraging words, and sorry for the outburst. Besides, my momma still likes mine best :p , and that's what really counts.

Luck of the draw I'd surmise. Posts stack up and bury some others. I missed some entries while they were being developed and hadn't seen some until we were judging I'll admit.
