===== From brendanlemke@canada.com: Excellent job!! I really like your idea. I know I have had a few pens suffer the same fate. I think the time spent at the start for the scribbling is too long... The point is what happens to the pen and we don't need that long to get the idea that he's scribbling. (But the hand animation is excellent) ===== From tim_cutho@smileyface.com: Very nice :-) It's a great original idea, not too sure it's true but you never know. . . Good smooth animation, and I just love the array of household objects strewn around the place. What a cheeky little guy, running around stealing pens. Good job :-) ===== From bill@apocalypse.org: nice use of sound (though the voice sounded odd), cute story, nice rug, good fully loaded scene. ===== From thomas_4d@hotmail.com: vrey good animation blender must be hard to animate in, but Ian known how to use it :) excellent ideas and animation :) ===== From dearmad@sapere.com: Nice movement of the arm. Good effort for a first-time at this length. ===== From lou_bruce@yahoo.com: Always great to see another blenderhead in the competition. Welcome. By the way 2.12 is available from the website www.blender.nl . Very good modeling and textures. I really liked the carpet. The animation was good especially the litle creature with the anntena. The sound track was also very good, however (and I'm just speculating) I'd be a little careful about using any music that might be copyrighted. ===== From english@spiritone.com: Great story. I have contacted an exterminator about this very problem but they wouldn't accept your video as proof. Ah well ; (
