Animation Showdown Entries

These are my entries in a unique weekly contest called the "Animation Showdown." You get a topic by e-mail and then have four hours to animate and render a character animation on that topic. I enjoy it because it's about animating a character rather than about modeling or texturing.

Sometimes I get it working... sometimes I don't!

For best results, download the clip to your desktop and play it locally. These movies REQUIRE Quicktime 5 or later to view. If the "Windows Media" logo comes up they will not play.
