nicely done!  not too dark over here, but it did help knowing what I was looking at =D

Want a slightly simpler method of working with your animation?  try here:

http://www.virtualdub.org/

its free =D

I dunno how you rendered it out - if you did to .avi or if you pieced an image sequence together, but virtualdub does both =D  btw- if you render to avi and have to pause or vue crashes, you lose the entire file.  if you render it sequentially, you end up with a LOT of images to deal with, but its easier to pick up where you left off if you need to pause (or vue has a cow... and not a render cow).

once again, great work =D

Rarer than a hairy egg and madder than a box of frogs....
