John, I am looking forward to your future posts. I to am interested in animation. Right now I am on a steep learning curve to learn the various Metacreation apps take on a project for a group of mine. The project I am attempting to pursue is based upon a friend of mines short story script. I have storybosrd most of the scenes as to what camera angle I should use. While I am building and modifying some props, I am also working on inviting a couple of friends to help with the wav files for Mimic. Thanks for mentioning the reference material. I will be watching and maybe bugging you on how these things are accomplished. Cliff
