I’m in two minds about animations with sound. On one hand this is a
raytracing comp and adding sound adds another dimension. I seldom listen to
sound on my machine, in fact I generally have it switched off completely.
But I did switch it on for Markus and Rob’s animations and it did enhance
the experience. (I must watch Markus’s previous entries with the sound
switched on.) So I think that since sound can improve or detract from the
enjoyment of an animation it should have a separate category for marking
which is not taken into account for the final placing but only for feedback
for the authors. I think that the ratings should not take sound into
account. I would be willing to be talked out of this.

Another point is the Technical rating. How are we supposed to judge this?
For me it is fine marking Pov-Ray created animations but how would I know
what is hard or easy to do in Cinema 4D? Just a point for discussion.
