I probably liked "rain" best. I like how short and sweet they are. While I was waiting for them to load I stared at the still of the first frame wondering how you'd move it, and it was always something unexpected. cool. nice work. I probably liked “rain” best.

Thanks Justin for the massive post! I'm glad everyone enjoyed the animations... Answers: To MFAC - I actually have not played Okami neither have seen screenshots of if but I heard it was a good game... Is it? To Dyllan - Render time was not bad at all. These were all silhouettes of objects. Since we rendered dozens of elements separately to later composite in AE, I can't tell you the exact time of the render. What took a while was the cloth simulation on the runners and the trees on the WIND piece. We don't necessarily have an insane setup. We didn't have a render farm for this job, but we're working on setting one up. We used 3 pc's. Core Duo and Pentium 3.2 with 2Gb of ram. The mac I used for compositing is a Dual 2.7 G5 with 4GB of ram. Hey. Thanks Justin for the massive post! I’m glad everyone enjoyed the animations…

Great post! Finding out how the gears that make these motions turn makes this industry what it is today: alive and kicking! one more little thing that would be fun to know: render times (more or less) and basic system specs: for instance: 3.4 dual core, 2 gigs, 128mg ati graphics. bleh! thanks for a great post once aagin!
