Our entry is a 6.5 minute animation titled "A Sailor's Vacation", which I'll post after the Sept. Screenings.  A young boy dreams of a long vacation on a real sailboat, then joins the Navy to learn.

    Thanks for the comments.  Just an aside, I was happy to find my Carrara "clip" (mocap file) of a spell casting sequence.  That is the basis for all four (three in this trailer) of the carrier "shooter" scenes (the  catapult officer).  I recall seeing a clip of a real carrier catapult man doing a pretty spectacular dance while "shooting".  This isn't that clip, but pretty funny:

    Lol. So funny. If there is a significant other, they must be thinking often please go outside and play.

    Hmmm .... Had a closer look, didn't see the torpedoes first time around. Nakajima B5N Kates ?

    Bingo!  (At least the "Kate" part)  It was the only folded wing prop plane I could find in my collection, part of a Japanese Carrier model I think.  Maybe US Navy spy planes? wink

    Also, not sure if this is real, but  "Zero" torpedo plane?:

    Maybe the Kates were captured at Guadalcanal ? wink

    References indicate that in addition to it's cannon armament, Zeros were fitted with bombs, later variants were also fitted for air to air rockets . Although there were single seaters fitted with a torpedo during WW2 - Fiat G.55/S & Blackburn Firebrand being a couple of examples.

    I think the Zero torpedo plane is a converted Vultee BT-13 Valiant - https://www.impdb.org/index.php?title=Midway_(1976)

    I told my wife about your comment, she asked "Lyrical?"  A search: "expressing the writer's emotions in an imaginative and beautiful way."  I wonder if that's what you meant, but whatever, thanks.

    Thanks.  The screenings of all the 30 or so Houston entries was today, so I can upload the full video to YouTube, which I have done and will start a new Carrara Forum topic.
