Pardon me if I get a little melodramatic right now...
This evening my film "Break Time" -- which was made entirely with POV-Ray --
won Best Nebraska Short Film at the 2007 Omaha Film Festival. To say I was
shocked is an understatement...
People that talked to me after the awards ceremony kept asking what software
I used to make the robots and, of course, I shamelessly and mercilessly
pimped POV-Ray. Gotta give props where props are due...
I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to the developers of POV-Ray for all
the hard work they've put into creating this _awesome_ piece of software,
and to the members of the POV community who frequent this site and
patiently point doofuses like me in the right direction...
POV rocks!

I uploaded the movie to YouTube.com last night -- it's at
http://youtube.com/goofygraffix. Look for "Break Time" (should be the
featured video). I'll get a fresh copy of it uploaded to my site
(goofygraffix.com), for those that prefer a straight MPEG-1 over YouTube's
Shockwave-induced funkiness...
The website for the film fest is http://omahafilmfestival.org. Don't think
they've added the award announcements there yet (they were all heading off
to the after-festival party when I left)...

It is <URL: http://youtube.com/watch?v=n1X7Gq8xv8M >. It is simple and
elegant. Congratulations.

The main problem with youtube videos is not the codec/format, it is the very
low bitrate. To get good quality, I would recommend using the x264 codec
library, which gives very good results (do not forget to enable B-frames).
Or, if you want to stay classic, XviD is quite a good choice too.

I'm not. The animation is quite nice.
I am very interested in knowing what software you're using to put sound
into your animations.
Regards,
John

Okay, got links to the MPEG-1 on my site. It's at
http://goofygraffix.com/movies/break_time.mpg. Or you can go to the Films
page and click on the link. The version that's on there now is around 13
MB or so; overnight I'm going to upload an 18.5 MB version. Slightly
higher bit rate, but still mono sound -- my copy of ffmpeg pukes like the
groom-to-be at a bachelor party whenever I try to pass it stereo sound.
Weird...
