Thanks again to all of you well-wishers.  The international animation competition is really stiff, and includes pros and semi-pros with more powerful computers and animation tools, formal animation training and support staff, none of which I have.  So winning anything is probably not going to happen, but as I said befoe, just getting selected at a festival billed as "the American Cannes" in Hollywood is a win for the Poser community, much less for all of us home-PC dabbling, self-taught, weekend animation hobbyists.

Dale B., I have programs similar to SonicFire, but I need a musician to sing the story.  For the Little Frogs animation, Keri Lattimer of the Canadian band "Nathan" (www.nathanmusic.ca) did an excellent job scoring the soundtrack and singing the lyrics all in a perfect style for the subject matter.  That's what I need again (Nathan's style is not the right one I'm looking for this time), as I can't sing at all, and the vocal style really needs to fit in seamlessly with the music.
