  • This link should work now (just tested it again).

Just in case, here is another:

I also got the file size down from 20MB to 3MB :slight_smile:

Very compressed sound and image, and small, but it works. Xvid codec was used.

dang, I thought it was the same timezone as before :frowning: Ah well, I guess I better pay more attention next time

5

1 calory is the ammount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 LITRE of water by 1 degree Celcius. Not one gram of water.

7

Had to vote for McSmiffy; not only was the animation perfect, it was entertaining :smiley:

8

heck! I totaly forgot to send in my entry, while I had made one :confused:

Jacco;

9

there’s 2 types of calories, small/gram calories and large/kilogram calories:

10

Had to vote for Splund. I just liked it.

11

There is only 1 TRUE calorie

The “Big” calorie - Calorie (1,000 true calories), was “invented” by the food industry.

Most food packaging will show the energy (Big Calories) measured in kcal(s) true calories

i.e. 1 Calorie = 1,000 true calories

I think they do this so we don’t put too much weight on.:rolleyes:

My bag of crisps is only 120 Calories - imagine if they told the truth!!

The true value would be 120,000 calories argggghhhhh!!!

Of course there are variations of the 1 true calorie - the 15 °C calorie,
the 20 °C calorie, the 4 °C calorie, the Mean calorie, the Thermochemical calorie…

But that’s getting too technical even for me.

Just remember…

120,000 bags of crisps = 120 big Calories = 1 calorie -No

120 big bags of crisps = 1 Calorie = 120,000 calories -No

1 bag of calories = 120 big Calories = 120,000 big crisps -No

Look, I’m confused now - Should have stuck with Joules.
Just don’t go eating 120,000 bags of crisps O.K.

(1 bag of crisps = 120 big Calories = 120,000 calories -Yes)

Alden: Thanks for your comments - I wouldn’t call my animating perfect - yet.
Still alot of room for improvement - but I have great fun doing these challenges.

My vote went to Splund - a very good for a first attempt.

12

Firstly - sorry I didn’t enter this one. I’ve been recovering from a PC rebuild.

Now- the cameos from other movies:
__Splund - Nice use of the flux capacitor!
__Alex_G - Lenny from Toy Story - Cool idea and love the music synch

RobertT - Cool animation and nice character. I saw a great animation recently on 10 second club where the animator acted the scene with a webcam and used that as a live reference. Your wodden friend may benefit from a similar idea

Bean, McSmiffy and Amped - Great interpretations of the topic.

My vote (IMHO) McSmiffy for a nice versatile display of energy.

Nice one all!

Oh… P.S.: Standard International measrement for energy is the Joule and equals 0.238 calories

13

My vote went to McSmiffy, not just funny but excellent
direction and pace, all well timed with the voice over.
Ammusionist - the flux capacitor was the first thing that popped
in my head when I read the theme for the challlenge, I was going
to model a Delorean, but then I remembered the toon-car from
the tutorial…close enough!!

14

Voice over??? Damn, I didn’t get sound the first time I played it. Now I see what everyone else has been seeing - and hearing :slight_smile:

15

any idea when the next challenge is gonna be, ide like to try

16

I Forgot To Loook At Alex G Late Entry And Now I Did And I Would Of Voted For Him But I Already Voted

17

Next challenge will be posted up on Sunday this week.

Voting seems to have tapered off. So as it’s now very close to Sunday, I’ll just close the poll now. Once again, well done to all participants. We had quite a good turnout this time, so I’m hoping that next round will be even better.

Well done to the winner, McSmiffy!
