Hello, I am Philippe Bouyer (www.belino.net). I made the show reel...
Dale is right about softwares used. About sound, I made the sound with Nero Wave Edition (tiny and powerful tool), SmartSounds SonicFire Pro (for music), and the final mix was done in After Effect.
I started (created) almost all clips on my PIII 1ghz 512 ram. My 2 others PC (two P4 near 3ghz, 1g ram) make the renders.

As always Dale, I have to tell you thank you very much for your friendly support.
Best regards.
