Oh come on, I've had one ready for the TC-RTC opening:
http://tc-rtc.co.uk/displayallimages/animation/18/2007-May.html

It just didn't get voted on, so it's kinda in the 
back-catalog where you've got to know where to look for it :)

(I think I was the only one who tried the voting, so I ended 
up kicking my own entry (can't vote on it) off the list. D'oh ;)

What would it take? Time and energy. Time isn't actually 
that bad, it's more of a energy/motivation thing. I feel I'm 
getting too old to pull 3D edit all-nighters AND show up to 
work the next morning... I'm still intrigued by the TC-RTC 
topics, and usually write down a screenplay, but when it 
comes to sitting down and actually turning it into 3D ... 
seeing what people with time and dedication at hand can come 
up with (vaguely looking at all those students of CG art and 
animation with their diploma works available on YouTube), I 
know that my output will never be polished enough or look 
anything like my imagination, so I end up with a ton of "why 
bother" crushing all intent to go beyond scripting and 
scribbling... :(

Though I *do* appreciate being mentioned here, after all 
that time (three years... sigh.) ... who knows, might as 
well try and bring the old girls back this time. :)

I'm not promising anything, mind you...
