===== From agage@csee.usf.edu: Amusing. ===== From manorton@tcnet.net: Dont enter just to vote. Please. ===== From clem@dhol.com: The Gray Goo syndrome. Nice idea. Some more work on backgrounds (e.g. stars) would help. It would have been nice to see the "original" mycorum visibly reduplicating a few times in the tv screen segment. The population numbers were too dim and thus easy to overlook. I like the multicolored blobby molecule. Sort of intermediate between a "realistic" image and a standard molecular model. The building needed some neighbors or at least cars in the parking lot. Another level or two between the building and the planet would also have been nice. ===== From arcana@sinbad.net: Hmm.. Another "uncontrolled science destroys the world" story eh? Sounds interesting. Nice use of blobs. ===== From vansickl@erols.com: I thought this one had the cleverest theme behind it. Artistic improvements would lead to a better overall score. Specifically, if there was more in the field than just the one building, this would have been much better. (vansickl@erols.com) ===== From gregj56590@aol.com: Reading your image description lowers your score. I expected it to be about something that creates ooze, not "make more copies of itself". A much better application of this theme would be little machines cutting off pieces of the big machine for raw materials to make micro machines. ===== From djconnel@flash.net: You sell yourself short! This is an excellent animation -- very powerful concept-wise, and sobering. Some of the growth seems to have a bit of a problem, with blobs appearing out of nowhere rather than growing off the primary mass. But the finish, with the Earth being quickly consumed, is quite powerfully done. Okay, so it isn't of the class of a contest winner, but a very nice piece of work, nevertheless! ===== From Martin.Magnusson.7121@student.uu.se: After 17.8 seconds I get an error message saying "bad MPG?", I hope that's at the end of the animation. I'd like some more flowing appearance of the mycora as it comes out of the containerm instead of just having it sort of pop up here and there, but I don't have an idea on how one could make something like that, unfortunately.
