Phenomenal, man.
This is making the circuits already on a LOT of Transformers message boards, btw (I know because I am a huge Transformers fan myself).
Congratulations! 
Nothing to crit at all…I hope you make more.
And definitely release the single. Great song!

A friend of mine just sent me this link (I hope it’s the same video)…
http://triadfrog.home.comcast.net/
Coolest video ever! Where do I download the MP…errr I mean legally purchase the single…
I may be the only one who thinks this, but its mediocre, not bad, much better than I or many of the rest of us can ever do, but transformers don’t interest me, the music goes well with it, so kudo’s for that. It seems like there is a lot of clipping, when they’re feet protrude through the floor. Good job nonetheless.
I have just seen that the whole site has been ripped and mirrored at triadfrog.home.comcast.net, so i have re-posted the original at:
Sandizzle. May I just ask, but if transformers don’t interest you why are you posting on a transformers thread…?
Thaks for the crit though. I know there is a bit of floor clipping to fix still.
p.s. can you post some of your stuff so I can see your definition of mediocre as your link ‘[No More Room In Hell HL2 Mod’ doesn’t seem to go any where…
Respectfully.

Yo MSmith!!
Man your VW clip inspired me to do the video in the first place… SupaProps to you my friend!!!
I’m loving the live action stuff. We tried some live action compositing but couldn’t get it quite right… gonna try re-rendering in mental ray for a special scene.
Peace MSmith

I am giving my opinion, you can’t please everyone, so it shouldn’t matter. It was well done but it didn’t interest me.
The link is down because our host went down today, will be back up very soon.
I’m also a TF fan. The beginning didn’t interest me that much, it was cool to see Sound Wave in 3D and all but I didn’t care much for it. The ending just rocks my world though. I’m sending this to every transformers fan I know! Major kudos
The problem we had with the biginning part was that we had only 1 clip of mocap data for Soundwave to cover 3:00 mins and about 24 for LAZER to pack into 1:45. And LAZER doesn’t come in to the track until the 3:00 min mark… So we had to do alot of repeat stuff to fill in the middle 8 section for example.
Apologies for the repeats.

:shrug:
Caught this at the onedotzero festival, it’s great stuff man. yeah technically there may be some minor niggles but the cinema loved it, had people laughing as the waves of nostalgia came flooding back!
Looking forward to your future projects:beer:
I thought that this was great fun, and I must be late coming across it.
The mocap worked in real nicely.
I understand the problem people might have with the repeats, but this video is more about motion graphics than it is about linear character animation, so I think it works fine.
Very inspiring.

you are the only one that thinks it is mediocre.
also, calling it mediocre because of some clipping is a little silly. it is not a film, nor is it a showcase of character animation, nor is it the greatest modeling in the world. but its very, entertaining, and touches a lot of people in the 20-30 age bracket. For that it is great.
dont hate.
wish there was a downloadable version of the vid! id love to put this on the video projector at the club i dj at! the punters would really dig this! most of them are transformers fans!
hey… if it was all mocap… does that mean your friend the choreographer can actually transform into a ghetto blaster? that is a killah move…
[sorry… i couldn’t help myself]
lol I bet that impresses tha ladies on the club dancefloor.
Gotta get him to teach me that one!
Hi Benni
Liked your animation very much.
Just a few questions about the course at Escape Studios.
Is it possible to go from standing start and learn Maya etc to such a high standard in just 10 weeks?
Also, where do people get 7 1/2 grand to do this course?
Congratulations on your success
