OK, after 4 months of "found" free time spent putting this sucker together, I finally have it to the point where I consider it "satisfactory." Not there aren't things that I wish could change, but I feel that this is a worthy test of things that will be included in my final product. Next in the project? Set Design! I now know what Brian Taylor went through on his own. There are so many things that just need to worked on in order to get the right feel of the animation and that just takes time and testing. The website for this is delayed due to not finding enough free time to get things in... that and I feel that I have to redesign the look of it. I'm just try to get enough bandwidth to accomodate a flow of downloads and for that I had to rely on a hosting site rather than my ineffectual DSL line (ineffectual in that it only has a 128K upload speed: This is MUCH better!). Animation modeled and rendered wholly in Carrara Studio 2. Texturing is mostly procedural, but Image maps were created using PSP 7.0. Editing and effects done in Premiere 6.5. Music courtesy of me, through Acid Music 3.0, and various sound effects from assorted free sites. Enjoy! Ken

it zooms in on the safe then the picture freezes yet the sound continues. I tried both the divx player and the new windows media player, they do the same thing.

Sorry, Should have posted, requires DIVX 503 to play. AVI only, so I make profuse apologies to MAC users. Ken

that sucks. I can`t have divx installed anymore because it causes premiere to crash. Any chance of converting it to something else?

Given time I think that I can come up with a MOV, but that will have to wait til the weekend. BTW, I'm running premiere 6.5 and I've had no problem with interaction with DIVX. Makes me wonder what might have gone wrong in your case.... hmmm, just the techie in me thinking.... Ken

no clue. I didn`t find another soul with this problem till i ran across it on none other than a french forum lol. From what altavista translated, it was some sort of problem between premiere 6.0 and divx 5.03 pro. I later found out all versions of divx make it crash....really sucks :(

OK, for Buijon I've translated the piece into MOV sorenson 3, but it inflated the size over double what DIVX did. I guess maybe I should invest in a QT license as the encoders I have seem to suck.... MOV format- File zipped in winzip 8.0 - Filesize 16MB!!! Ken

Nice textures and the music really fits the scene too:)
Stay Focused.

very nice. Interesting character design. Ever see Rocket: Robot on Wheels? Reminds me of him in a way. The only thing i`d say needs a little tweaking is the safe door falling off.... it has kind of a float to it. Not trying to knitpick, but the forums are for feedback yes? (and thanks for converting it)
