I find it a useful tool for analyzing reference like the paul pots stuff and for recreating them in animation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1435340282916901384.post-52104867176636017622008-07-02T07:16:00.000-07:002008-07-02T07:16:00.000-07:00hey - can you re edit the timings because youtube ...hey - can you re edit the timings because youtube has changed them so it's duration-so-far/total-duration<BR/><BR/>jpAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1435340282916901384.post-8688162154755573082007-12-30T18:42:00.000-08:002007-12-30T18:42:00.000-08:00thanks for all the great feedback people!thanks for all the great feedback people!Cameron Fieldinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15240744907010870127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1435340282916901384.post-55683736794467950722007-12-30T14:40:00.000-08:002007-12-30T14:40:00.000-08:00hey, i know this is pretty late. but i just found ...hey, i know this is pretty late. but i just found this blog and have read most of it. i was able to read most of the reactions but yours were just so detailed and well analyzed.

I just hea...Cameron, kick ass ;) Very good stuff. I just heard of this today and I've watched it a couple of times. If you google the way to download the actual video file, you can import into Flash as a video and scrub it. You get to really pick out stuff then ! But I have to say, the held poses ARE stronger. Isn't that wierd? The only time I've really seen a held pose for a LONG period of time was at the end of Cars, where Guido and the little Pitstop guy just sit there at the end of the movie looking at two ferarris, they just slowly float forward. It works so well! <BR/><BR/>Can it be done in 3D? In 2D it's easier because the medium allows it but 3D can be so refined and detailed that we always expect something to move.<BR/><BR/>-3:46 is great, he just sits there, looking off to the side, like "Righttt, you're going to perform?"<BR/><BR/>-3:40, he swallows in slow motion (I guess a editing thing) I like that, very rare to see it in animation :D<BR/><BR/>So.

He was able to pull off the people in front of him not just with his voice. Look at the use of eyes in him. How he just goes to the infinite and tries to reach every peron in there.

I really enjoy getting your emails and reading your post. <BR/>I just wanted to say, it’s fascinating to see the emotional arc the judges have in the video.
