Yeah, I'm a member here. I hope as many people as possible get to see it (and enjoy it too). I also hope that the detail I put into it comes across in the compressed versions (which had to be made from already-compressed material). Richard Travis did a tremendous job in converting what I sent him into mutiple formats that should make it easy to access to anyone regardless of your OS or media-viewing program. Thank you kindly, Richard. I also want to thank Scott Ayers for making that wonderfully funky Godzilla model, which always brought a smile to my face and just screamed out to be brought to animated life. And a tip of the 'ol hat to the other talented Poser-modeling artists without whose creations the animation would not have been possible. (BTW, I made every attempt to identify and properly credit all modelers of even the smallest article, but if I missed anyone, please email me and I will add your name to any future productions of this animation.) I had hoped to add more detail, like people and vehicles in the streets reacting to Godzilla's rampage, but a hard drive crash robbed me of the ability to make more edits to the surviving draft avi clip of the main segment (start to end of the "Godzilla" song). I back up every WIP now! I failed to added a note to the "bonus clip" at the end giving credit to professional animator Marv Newland's 1969 classic short animation feature titled "Bambi Meets Godzilla" that inspired this tribute to his masterpiece of understatement. It's an animation I did a few years ago (my very first attempt at animating) as I was sitting in front of the computer pondering how to animate in Poser, and my visiting graddaughter was watching Pokeman on TV. It prompted me to introduce that annoying Pikatyu to Godzilla. Feel free to use the animation in anything commercial ventures, but please let me know if you do use it for something so I can inflate my ego. Thank you all for the compliments.
