Animation Tournament East Division: Round 3
Directed by: Beast, various community members
Released: October 2004
Preview Back for it's third and most recent installment, the Animation Tournament is back, packing a serious punch of mind blowing animation. The animation shorts contained within this movie are honestly the best of the best. As ever, the clips are truly fantastic and creative. Leslie Wai's entry was easily my favorite, something of a short movie in it's own right, worthy of a top mark! Voice reviews are back, yet I still couldn't shake the feeling that the overall presentation was a little chaotic. Nevertheless, a fantastic showcase and something to watch if you feel like dribbling or are considering a 3dmm retirement.

Animation Tournament West Division: Round 1
Directed by: Beast, various community members
Released: February 2004
Preview I've been keeping my eye on this piece ever since it was just an idea. When I heard that some of the top 3dmm'ers in the community were going to battle it out in an animation tournament, I couldn't help but get a little excited. Round 1 (Yay! There's gonna be more!), has been expertly crafted, and the quality of the entries is top notch. A 'must' download.

Animation Tournament West Division: Round 2
Directed by: Beast, various community members
Released: March 2004
Preview Down to the semi-finals in the west division, with entries from Pogo, Skitch, Anders Borg, and Thomas Bown. The little intros before each round were very good, and in my opinion, the presentation is even better then when Aaron did it in Round 1. The entries themselves were of a much higher quality as well. Skitch's entry was good, but by far the best was Anders Borg's amazing entry against Thomas Bown, which should be immortalized in 3dmm history. Overall much better then the first, and something everyone should download.

Animation Tournament West Division: Round 3
Directed by: Beast, various community members
Released: May 2004
Preview The final Round of the animation tournament's West Division, and what a way to end! Two absolutely perfect pieces of animation here, possibly the best ever seen in 3dmm! Skitch's involved great HmC animation and humour, while Anders' is spooky, sublime, sassy, and sexy, with the best fight scene done in 3dmm. Ever. There is also a sort of mini-entry by Beast, with a cel-shaded Skitch and Anders fighting. Overall, this is a must download!

Energy Trailer
Directed by: Beast
Released: October 2003
Preview Wow. OK... This takes the term 'detailed' in 3dmm to a whole new level. This trailer contains some seriously detailed stuff, mean, even to the extent that I can recognise the fact that characters have been modeled on photos of fellow 3dmm'ers (that is Jaymond, right?!). What's even more impressive is that we would normally be wow'ed by stills with such detail - but these are animated. Fucking animated scenes. I know people say don't rate a movie just because it looks like, but that's exactly what I'm going to do in this case. I just hope the director finishes it and doesn't burn himself out.
