BTW Mike, Is it possible to assign a blurring motion to the spinning prop? I assume you made a disc about %70 transparent- but how about actually using the real prop as an animated/blurred object in a still scene. I think VUE can do it... Also, this, if it works, could give you the additional effect of the white-tips of the props as a blurred effect. (Prop tips were usually painted so people would be less likely to walk into them- something that would ruin your day...)
