This is an animation I did party for fun and partly for my compositing class. We were supposed to make a movie that used text so I decided I wanted to do a dance number with letters. It took me about 3 days. The background is a photograph. The table is 3D. Comments are welcome!

Oh yeah, and to explain the end: In that class we get "Warm and Fuzzy Points" if we do stuff the teacher likes. (research a topic, do a good project... ect) :)

Rendered in Mental Ray

hi!
that's really nice!! i like the "soft" animation.
but there is something i don't understand, why the background? i think it is distracting considering the spectator should focus on the letter. i think it's made to match the mood and lighting, isn't it?
anyway that's cool! :)
