===== From marlo.steed@uleth.ca: I had trouble following the concept in terms of the "journey" - it didn't seem that compelling to me. Parts of the animationa had nice detail (e.g. coffee bubbles). The table needed more resolution on the geometry to get a pure circular shape. The camera work was good until the egg holder took off - that part was hard to follow. It needed some transition to make this more understandable to the viewer. ===== From evilsnack@hotmail.com: JV: I couldn't discern the relationship between the animation and the topic. If you simulate a circular object--like the table top--using a polygon, more sides are needed. The way things are rendered, it looks like the egg cup jumps off of the table for no apparent reason. Also, I've never seen floot tiles which were *that* reflective. ===== From tek@evilsuperbrain.com: The hand at the start seems way too big, and why does the egg leave a trail of fire? The animation is okay but it would be better with more consistent elements, maybe just establishing shots showing rupert in the room and some kind of explanation for the fire. The materials you've used are good, particularly all the reflective surfaces. ===== From maarten_hofman@hotmail.com: The light on the tiles is amazing, as is the positioning of the camera during the hand sequence. The trail is a bit abrupt at the end, but the story line more than makes up for that. ===== From pterandon@yahoo.com: Highly polished scene. Story a bit weak. ===== From jps6860@yahoo.com: I'm not sure how this fits into the topic. The fact that the person doesn't give the surprised look until the egg trips gave me the impression (which I'm sure you didn't intend) that having his egg blast around his kitchen is a common occurrence. It is only the fact that this egg stumbles, maybe its clumsier than the rest, that surprises Rupert. I'm sure this interpretation is way off, but to me it made the animation a bit funnier. ===== From clem@dhol.org: Bizarre but interesting. Marginal as a "journey". I like the modelling and the face animation. The rocket exhaust looked to me like a trail of egg yolk. Was that intentional? The frozen exhaust at the end detracted a bit.
