3D animation of what happens to a pool ball when it goes into a pool table, produced in cinema 4D :) It was produced at the University of Sunderland in 2001 by the guy i set my company up with, as part of a final year assignment, produced in a very short period of time, between actually playing pool, and drinking in pubs, so you can see parts have been rushed where a pool ball levitates on the opening scene as it drops into the pocket and parts drag on a little, that if we had more time would have been fixed ;) On the original 800mb DVD quality version i have here, the sound and vision match perfect, but somewhere between when i have reduced it down in quality and uploading it onto You Tube, the sound has slightly gone out of sync with the video.

Mar 11, 2008 - COOL, I like it a lot. Anyway, I was wondering whether you'd recomend Sunderland Universitys animation course because I have to make a descission fairly soon and Sunderland is on my list. Reuben

Mar 12, 2008 - My Fiance is head of one of the admin teams, which i don't want to say for obvious reasons, but the University is dead, completely knackered. They lost £5M last year and this year look to loosing more and have just had crisis meeting to work out if it will go bankrupt. They are advertising to local people only which means they are living at home and not using the facilities for meals, accommodation or anything.All the nightclubs have been shut down and nothing is left.Choose somewhere else mate.

Mar 12, 2008 - Oh shit, really? Thats disappointing cos the University seemed really really good when I went for the interview and open day. I asked a few others on the course whether to go or not and they were all really possative about it. Are your convinced/certain its going down? damn

Mar 12, 2008 - In 1998 when i was at uni here it was amazing (i still live here mind you) there was 16,000 residential students, today there are about 3000. There are no student nightclubs, search for "manor quay" on face book, the uni bars have all closed due to lack of use search for "wearmouth bar", and 3 huge accommodation blocks (scotia quay under wearmouth bridge) are completely empty because students travel from home, but the uni are still paying the huge bills on them. Yes 100% sure mate
