ANIMATION DESCRIPTION: 
    i didnt mean to offend anybody i was just following the
topic.  It is  a neat little animation showing one guy Cautiously sneaking up,
where he is quickly followed by a heard of guys where it is a race to the
finish.  This was a very hard animation seeing as I had to animate every tail
on every guy that came in the scene.  I was actually having a hard time seeing
as it is hard to make the tails move without grouping the entire thing.  i was
so tired of the late nights making this animation because every thing that
could go wrong did go wrong.  When I was animating the tails it took forever to
go through every one and type the degrees.  But moray made it a lot easier for
me with there linear animation and there easy to use program.


VIEWING RECOMMENDATIONS: 
    i dont think there realy are any but it alwayse lookes
better when it is not stretched to full screen

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS ANIMATION WAS CREATED: 
    When I made the animation it was
first made just to be a sill picture that I was going to print and hang on my
wall.  I ended up seeing the topic and decided to animate it.  When I got
through the basics like making the egg witch consist of two spheres.  I had one
that was kind of transparent on the outside and I decided to put another in the
center so it was not completely transparent.  I added some water and created my
own sky sphere and a touch of fog and the scene was set.  The guys were a
little difficult making every thing independent but all grouped.  The tails had
to move but stay attached.  Each guy was equipped with a windshield and two
laser cannons.
