When I judge an animation, I watch it prior to reading the accompanying
test file, and with the sound off.  If I can't figure out that is going
on in the animation, I award a 1 for the concept score.  If I can't
understand the relationship between the action I see and the topic, I
award from 2 to 5.

Be that as it may, sometimes the animations run on different meanings
of the topic phrase.  For example, I took Force as "the Force" as
referred to in the Star Wars movies, and went with that idea.  I put
the subtitle in there so that it would be obvious.

John
