ScottA, good to hear from you! You would have been proud of your model. He definitely stole the whole show!
The stoty started with him in a bargain bin at a toy store when a boy picks him up and starts imagining him running amok through a city (that's where the Blue Oyster Cult song comes in). I had so many great shots of him being atttacked (in vain) by helicopters, jet planes, rockets and finally an atomic bomb that destroys the city but Godzill still roars on, at which point the scene morphs back into the boy holding the toy Godzilla. He decides Godzilla is too good for the bargain bin, so he sits him on a shelf that happens to have some Barney toys. After the boy leaves, Godzilla comes to life as do the Barneys. As Godzilla is scoping out the closest Barney in disbelief, Barney starts to sing that obnoxious Barney themes song, to which the disgusted Godzilla flames him into a molten mass, takes his place on the shelf and all the toys go dormant again as the scene fades to black, the end. This brief description does not do justice to the animation, it just came out so good! I was just starting to prepare the closing credits, which also were to have animated shots of Godzilla doing some funky dance steps to the closing music, but alas... This was the week I was going to post some static shots and let you and others see their models in action, but, again, alas... Maybe I'll still post some by rendeing stills from the few Pz3 files that are still intact on another hard drive, if anyone's interested in seeing them.
