Got this one done at the last minute for the heinz competition-

Now this other one is in the final top ten for a local radio contest-
Let the file load completely before playing (it only takes like 10 seconds to load)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FF7d-rA_I8
It's only 30 seconds long but the file itself is about five minutes, that's 30 seconds of animation and the rest is black frames.
The reason for this is: by adding length to the file (max 10 minutes) the bit rate (or something) is higher when they compress it (larger file=higher bit rate?) but because the added frames are blank the majority of the bit rate (I'm sure my terminology is off) goes into the actual frames that contain data thus making the quality of the file higher-
The only draw back is that it takes a little longer for the file to load (and people automatically assume the clip is as long as it says)
(just another you tube fun fact for those who can't stand to have there work decimated by you tube compression)
They still haven't announced the winner yet for the radio contest (any day now)
1st prize is a mac book and a trip to sundance this year-
Have Fun-
