===== From maal-irtc20030115@anthrosphinx.de: Funny! Looks like some sort of "absurd ballet". Video suffered partially from some sort of MPEG compression or upload defect, but i didn't consider this in the rating - i think the IRTC shouldn't be about "who has the best MPEG encoder"... ===== From javaearl@hotmail.com: Funny. ===== From marlo.steed@uleth.ca: The concept is a good one, it was fun to watch. It is too bad your divers never made it too water. I liked the simplisity of the divers - it worked. The terrain was nicely done as well. Perhaps have a truck go by and the driver could give the divers a queer look - that would add a bit humor. ===== From evilsnack@hotmail.com: JV: I *like* the motion of the runners. It's a shame that CMPEG put a bunch of artifacts into the runners; I've used it for plenty of IRTC entries without any trouble. The rocks that get carried across the road are all the same; you could at least have rotated them so that their similarity isn't as obvious. The differnet things done by the runners are rather entertaining. ===== From tek@evilsuperbrain.com: I'm very impressed by the character animation on this. It's some of the most fluid animation I've seen in povray. Though it could do with a bit of a plot, I'm sure there could be a really good reason for a load of divers to be running in a desert! :) ===== From maarten_hofman@hotmail.com: This is an original and wonderful entry. In the beginning it struck me as rather simple and silly, not a journey at all, but viewing it again made me change my mind, and made me realise that this is probably one of the more powerful entries in this round. ===== From pterandon@yahoo.com: Unfortunately, flicker of mpg errors cuts in right when I most wanted to examine the animation closely in order to determine how impressed I was with the movement. Fun otherwise. ===== From jps6860@yahoo.com: Nice work on the run cycle, but that is all there seems to be. There's no real explanation for what is going on. Just a bunch of people running though the desert in full scuba gear. ===== From clem@dhol.org: My diver nephew cringed at the thought of doing that. No real story. Sort of a journey. Good leg animation showcase. A bit of humor.
