Which look of the 2 animations I posted do you guys like best?

In my opinion, the second animation, titled “No.10Bus”, showed a much higher level of artistic talent and animation skill.

Although the story was a bit bizarre, it made me smile, and I watched it twice.

I agree that the No10 bus showed more artistic talent, flair and interest with no real story to it, but for showcasing Carrara I’d say a mix, such as in the dreams story would be more appropriate.

You’re right, if the purpose of this exercise is to showcase Carrara.
However, I don’t think anyone has yet decided what the purpose is.
If the purpose is to simply create an entertaining short subject, a different approach would likely be needed. Whereas, if the purpose is to showcase Carrara’s attributes, then showing off more features and capabilities would be more important.

I think someone needs to decide what the purpose is.

If it is going to showcase Carrara whatever the storyline we might want to produce something on par or better than Blender’s 4 Open Movie projects?

Maybe something that is as polished as the Dreams clip mentioned before http://challenge.cgsociety.org/ten/entry/SebastianDelValle/final_video/10004517

My 2 cents is just that whatever is produced is probably going to be compared to other open movie projects.

  I think the hope is to both showcase carrara and produce an entertaining short film.
