11 second club Placement
... or the top 100...
I was 123 out of 128.

Even the ones I gave my highest marks to did not perform well overall.
Most of the comments had to do with the "limited animation" and how quick and unclear the ending was.
I am NOT an animator's animator.
I'm still doing one for this month. And hopefully one for next month.
I'm not going for complete animation domination.
I am going for entertainment.
The competition just gives the entertainment some framework.

New animation for February
Here is my Work-in-Progress for February 2009.
I'll let you know in a couple of days how my robot faired for the January competition. There were a lot of good animations, both 2D and 3D. There were 128 or so entries in all. I hope to be in the top 25 but we'll see.
It's hard for me to judge mine. I liked the initial idea but got tired of it by the end of the month. I tried to be real involved in the forums for January. This month I think I might be less involved so I can spend more time writing on my screenplay.
I like the idea of a monthly competition. I want to get better in going from idea to execution of a story.
I'm a storyteller.
A filmmaker.
I do more than just write. Or just animate. Or just direct.
I'm a storyteller. So I'm going to finish a story this month.
I must write... I must write...
