===== From vansickl@erols.com: This ought to come in second or third. The motion of the leaf could have been a little more natural, and the snow could have looked more natural as well. I hear people complain about the quality level of CMPEG, but this video shows that they don't know what they're talking about; the video quality is good. vansickl@erols.com ===== From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com: Simplicity sometimes wins and that's your case : it made good impression on me. The only thing I would have loved to see better done are the snow flakes melting before disappearing on the ground. ===== From cdsi26@bupers.navy.mil: Let's start with Concept and Interpretation of theme. I gave you good marks for the leaf idea because I feel most animators would have tried to show the whole forest (a alot less detail that way). Technically: I thought you did a good job on the ground throughout the animation. The colors and timing were very orchestrated. Artisitic: Good job on the season. Most people (I'm one) see winter as a time of decay and stark contrast. You have made a valiant attempt at recreating that feeling. ===== From file: Wonderful textures. Your animation requires more motion and smoother camera movement. Notable for textures
