Action On Ice animated short

I created this animation for Renderosity's annual Holiday Contest. I managed to get 3rd place.

I've uploaded the video to Vimeo where you can play it online (the copy at Renderosity depends on your browser to play/download it). It was done in DAZ Studio 4.6 public beta with a lot of help from After Effects.

Good work, you got a lot into one minute. Do you prefer Vimeo to YouTube?

I think Vimeo is a bit better showcase for creative work. YouTube has a bigger reach and does finally have high-res options but they still mess with your files more than Vimeo. Animation isn't so bad but real video footage really gets butchered on YouTube. Vimeo also offers download options which can be nice for things like this. A lot of the little details in this really don't come out unless your viewing it at full 720p resolution. Originally I was going to render it at 1080p but the contest deadline made me re-think that. The render times on some of the frames were fairly long.
