Well, to show my appreciation for all the support and words of encouragement I received from you guys, even though I didn’t always reply to them, here is a little sneak-preview of the sound. It’s still a bit rough, it’s not mixed and the effects aren’t always there, synced or appropriate. But you’ll get the idea. The black bit at the end is for titles.

ps. Five stars! Gosh, you guys aren’t biased by any chance are you? Thanks!
Maybe a little. 
But seriously. Its projects like yours that are great resources for promoting the capabilities of the program and we need more things like this to help promote EIAS. Great work Manuel.
nice touch to the music! did you compose the music by yourself? it add some life to the whole thing:thumbsup:
a little comment to the story, hope you don’t mind:), I feel “sudden” when the kitty hide the cube, my comment is the kitty kick the cube again, and the same inciddent happen, and its feel so angry or curious, than he (or she) hide the magical thing and not let others find out! hope the ‘motive’ do make any sense.
any way still an Excellent work! 
Yes, I made the music myself.
Funny how everybody keeps coming up with little story ideas. I guess it means people can relate to the character, which is a good thing.
I think the work is great! And the music is perfect as well!
I have a question to you… if you had to produce this exact piece for a job(animation only),
how long do you think it would take you to do in EI?

Mmm, how long is a piece of string…I was learning on he job, remember.
I wonder if the choice of software is the biggest factor when it comes to time. I’m sure a dedicated CA app will work faster, but the question is: how much. It’s not just the time it takes you to do it, which is important. It’s also the flexibility to make the inevitable changes. If it’s harder to make changes, than that will translate in more hours.
35 seconds of relatively stylised animation. In studios here in London I would expect to be given around 4 weeks for that. But remember, while you’re animating, someone else will be busy refining the rig and the model. Something you can’t really do in EIAS.
Manuel, Mike
Sadly, for CA, EiAS it´s not well suited (yet, i hope). To make speak a model is a really pain in the ass, terrible slow and hard. BTW, nice idea the Rigging stuff! hope can be a real Plug in. And something like TAFA could be awsome, i hardly can wait, but the development is alted by now cause Mac Reiter personal problems. No clue when (if) he will work in it again:(
Hoping for the best…

Here it is, with final soundmix (well, on my headphones it sounds okay…)
