ANIMATION DESCRIPTION: 

Little octopus sits there, hiding. Only when the diver is really close is he
sure he's been spotted and tries to escape with his best trick. You go!

VIEWING RECOMMENDATIONS: 

none, should play fine

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS ANIMATION WAS CREATED: 

I had first started to do this scene just for myself and didn't want to animate
the octopus at all. Half way done I came across your contest and added the
"escape part". I really ran out of time in the end, but i hope you guys don't
pick on the imperfections too much. ;)
I am sort of new to character animation, and now I know there is still a lot to
be learned... comments welcome!
I didn't add any scene files for several reasons:
-they are a bit large (50Mb)
-something is messed up (constant crashing)
-this is not the best i can do... ;)

Greetings,
Frank
