ANIMATION DESCRIPTION: Mr. Reeves has just come home from a long day at a job he doesn't enjoy. He's recently fallen on hard times, but he's trying to keep up appearances, and keep what's near and dear to him. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS ANIMATION WAS CREATED: Well, even though it's submitted, I'm not completely happy with it. The movement's too crisp, not like a tired person. I'd planned on having audio on it ( my background is in Radio/Television production ), but I ran out of time ( I was also worried about running over on size limitations). There are only four light sources, all of them area lights ( no points ). I started this image as getting used to Moray, but decided to turn it into an animation for this round. Special Thanks to: Lutz Kretzschmar for creating such a helpful tool in Moray. Paper and pen would never have allowed me to create what I did. Jeff Lee for the 'Scholler's Tools' image I used for the book cover. He was nice enough to give me permission to use it for the animation.
