Just realized we didn’t have a link to our WIP thread in here, even though we’ve been posting there for a few weeks.

The “story” for our Hybrid Entry:[i][/i]
[b][/b]A massive Antarctic Storm besiges Rio de Janero while the vacationing occupants of the Sugar Loaf Mountain cable car hang-on for their lives.

Here’s our WIP thread:
http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?t=266523

Since this is very much a team effort, we’re just taking the name “Rio Team”
Our movie file(s) will be named RIOTEAM_FXWAR*.MOV
(Should there be any designation of the “Big Freeze” or “Challenge:7” in the file name? Titles?)

The rules are requesting a watermark.
Is that our own “team” watermark then?
Are there specs for the “identifying banner” requirement?

Thanks.

hey guys, I’ve finished, or tried finishing it, the results wasn’t quite as I expected (I removed the sound due to so issues when editing, so the movie doesn’t have any sound now), at least now I know how difficult and time consuming this was, so I’ve learned my lesson this time, hopefully someone will like something here
