In January I had my first ever go at entering the 11 sec club see attached "Solitary".
Knowing the high standard of competition and that it seems mostly Maya animators, with a real focus on facial acting, I knew I was going to struggle. However, I thought the scenario I chose was more interesting than the majority of "drunken party girl" entries and the scenery and lighting I thought would serve me well. No such luck, got a paltry 2.42 rating and ranked 161/179.
Very disappointing, but I'm determined to stick at it. So I thought I would share my work in progress for the Feb entry "Hen House" and see if my fellow forum members can give me some pointers on how to improve it.

Appreciate your thoughts.
Cheers,

rather than me making tons of comments on your video, how about i provide something that I would compare it with if I were to comment ....this may help you more than anything i can say.

Wow, very interesting stuff.
I think this will take many viewings to sink in and then can I implement it?
Cheers,

After i watched them a few times, it sort of became apparent to me why some art looks better than others. Some art has really good content, but the lack of emphasis and focus distracts from the moral of the story, so to speak.

now with watching all these videos, I'd have to ask you to review your own video....
what was the focus ? other than the audio....

after you answer that, evaluate the quality of what your video focused on....not necessarily what you meant to focus ....but based on the tuts i posted above, what the colors and composition caused you to focus on.

ps - I think you are going to do great btw, the desire to succeed is more important than talent itself.
