ANIMATION DESCRIPTION:
Little octopus sits there, hiding. Only when the diver is really close is he sure he's been spotted and tries to escape with his best trick. You go!
DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS ANIMATION WAS CREATED:
I had first started to do this scene just for myself and didn't want to animate the octopus at all. Half way done I came across your contest and added the "escape part". I really ran out of time in the end, but i hope you guys don't pick on the imperfections too much. ;)
I am sort of new to character animation, and now I know there is still a lot to be learned... comments welcome!
I didn't add any scene files for several reasons:
-they are a bit large (50Mb)
-something is messed up (constant crashing)
-this is not the best i can do... ;)

Greetings,
Frank
