I'm embarrassed. I've got VLC and completely forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder... I agree that it's nicely done. You've set a nice overall mood with the dance, the music, and the lighting. I really like how you brout her in. I'm curious what you used to acheive the effect. I have a couple of intended 'helpful" suggestions though. I would have liked to see some eye movement and facial expressions. When people turn their heads they lead with their eyes. Also, when she does things like raise her arms she might also raise her eyebrows or drop her jaw (open mouth) a little - people make expressions when they reach. She could even simply close her eyes during some of the movements. Subtle things like that would make her 'feel' a bit more real. You might also try changing the camera angle. The feel of this reminds me of a couple of the songs in "Lord Of The Dance." If you do something along these lines again you might rent that and look at how they film some of the solo dances. I watched it again the other night so it's fresh on my mind and that's why these nit-picky things popped into my brain. Don't forget to add it to Renderosity's Animation Outlet. It's definately worth sharing. [It's funny re-reading these comments. Nemirc looks at her feet. I look at her head. The nice thing about this forum is that we can all meet in the middle.]

Before they made me they broke the mold!
