I like solution 3 A LOT, but unfortunately, they want one shot. It's a comic book cover coming to life and they want to see the full page. I think option two would be my best bet. I've already finished the basic animation short of hands and expressions and don't want to start the whole thing again from scratch. (I don't suppose I could lock them between poses? lol) Anyway.. thanks.. I'll give it a shot. R
