i was going to do the FX challenge but like many others there is so little time to take on such a challenge.., unless one would use it as a uni project and get crit here

anyway, in my research to do the FX challenge i ended up in quiet a few apps.., and 100 frames of animation

research of course was rigid and soft body dynamics.., i ended up with this as a simple end product.., not saying i would publish it.., perspective is out ect.., but interesting none the less to me. especially how long it took for so 'little'

o for the curious

Real flow.., 1 hour
Maya 30 min and a 6 hour render
After effects 1 hr
Soundtrack pro 1 hour
Final cut 30 min
Compressor 30 min
After effects 20 min (again)

All for this, (btw, got the audio on..??) what a life eh.., no wonder there is no time.., and the production houses.., well the time taken just for this speaks for itself
