===== From sshelby@shelbyvision.com: This is the kind of animation that I find fascinating. The morphing is really good. It's so short, though, that my media player loops it over and over again, and I'm thinking you should have made a way for it to loop on purpose, in a way that makes sense. Otherwise, maybe you should have slowed it down so it lasted longer. ===== From emperorofrome@yahoo.com: Very cool, nothing too much technically but still very cool ===== From rich@brickbots.com: Generic Note: I really enjoyed watching these animations, but I personally think that pointing out the low points of an animation help more than pointing out the high points. As such, I usually only mention the problems. Please don't take it the wrong way :-) Technical: Wow, this is beyond me POV-Ray wise.. I will leave the commenting on this to better folks... Artistic: THis is tough for me too. In general I think the use of the checkerboard and reflections are very over-done in CG, but in this case you used it as part of your mono-cromatic metaphorical theme... hmm... The use of black and white up until the very end helped to emphasise the explosion at the end. I wish you could have completed the last scene you were thinking about, I would have liked to see it. My only real specific critique would be the way the camera motion stops as the two planes hit one another. I think it would have been better to just continue on with the same line as the morphing section. Theme: I gave this animation a pretty good score for theme. It was an interesting take on the end... kind of the end of seperation. I really would have liked to see the rest of this if you had more time. Have questions about my comments?

Plus the uneven pace of the animation (and the camera movement)... ===== From irtc_mail@yahoo.co.uk: I think that putting the reflecting sphere in the mist at the beginning clashes with the sharp black and white style of what follows. I thought that yin-yang was a symbol of harmony, not good verses evil. I like the morphing of the yin-yang into the planes, and the planes squashing, but the colour seems out of place. Some of the camera movements seem too violent. It ends too suddenly. I would have preferred another transformation into a final object. ===== From file: the beginnig seemed promissing, but then it ended.
