===== From tek@evilsuperbrain.com: Very novel interpretation, though the end result looks a bit simplistic. ===== From evilsnack@hotmail.com: Baffling concept, not much to the animation. Some of the product molecules appear to be impossible. ===== From Martin.Magnusson.7121@student.uu.se: There are no "errors" or ommissions in this anim, but IMHO it's lacking something. Some action, maybe. Just seeing a molecule being split isn't terribly esciting. A more interesting background or something would help. ===== From martin@simaltech.com: Highly original! The obvious cut when the molecule combusts is distracting and the simple objects hurt the technical score. Much better the second time around after reading your description of the scene so I knew what was happening! :) ===== From chris_darcy_irtc@yahoo.com.au: The movie didn_t make sense without reading your notes. Nice effort though. ===== From bill@apocalypse.org: A seemingly simplistic scene, that I really needed to read the txt file to understand. Also, the "wood" texture in the background seemed odd to me, though I suppose it does imply what going on, it's also out of place. ===== From jonathan@scudder.no: Original interpretation, and nice collision/explosion animation. Slightly distracting background texture, and generally quite plastic, but I suppose realism is not an issue here anyway... :-P ===== From jouni@mikrobitti.fi: Very interesting indeed. Lacks the drama involved in a forest fire, but the concept is good. ===== From angelsdie2@aol.com: I'm not crazy about the woodgrain background but I don't know how you could have improved it... maybe an out of focus mesh of particles in the distance or something.... I like the idea a lot though.... good work! ===== From p_chan@shaw.ca: Nice work with the placement and motion of the particles. I feel the colour change for the "sky" should either be quicker or start earlier. As it is, it doesn't really match with the time of the reaction. What might also help is to change the colour from blue to orange in a different manner, as it seems to get darker at first as it is now. ===== From quinet@gamers.org: Nice idea, but the wooden plane and the sky are distracting because they do not match the molecular size of the scene. It would have been much better to use a uniform background (maybe dark brown) and have hundreds of molecules around the one that is at the center of the scene. For extra bonus points, you could start the scene with the cliche "zoom in from normal size to molecular level" and then at the end zoom out and see a fire. That would require much more work, but the animation would be easier to understand and more fun to watch. ===== From batronyx@alliancecable.net: Interesting. ===== From glenn@mccarters.net: A "force of nature" at a fundamental level! ===== From irtc_mail@yahoo.co.uk: There is not enough in the animation to work out that it is supposed to be a forest fire. Molecules like to rotate about their centre of mass but yours rotates about its end. This is a technical point, but yours is a technical interpretation. ===== From r@adsl-65-64-194-217.dsl.rcsntx.swbell.net: hm... with my chemistry skills, I get that. But does everyone? ===== From r@adsl-157-198-97.dab.bellsouth.net: intelligently put together. It has a good effect. Notable for originality
