> Quote - I am working on a music video and cannot find enough good quality dance moves. I have some which are good, but need cropping just so I get the right moves that make sense. Here is a link to a small sample of the video and any ideas will be greatly welcomed.

Looks pretty cool, Avros.  What's the title of the music and name of the performer?

I would suggest you mix the edit up with some long shots, medium shots, and closeup shots.  Cutting from one medium shot to another medium shot of same character might be considered a "jump cut."  However, the audio appears to make up for the (lack of) continuity.

Jump cuts are jarring to the viewer and should be used sparingly.  However, if you know what you're doing, jump cuts can be used very effectively.  It's a certain device of telling a story in a stylish way, for maximum impact.

Fourth day into my second project.  I think I'm pooped.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_tZx0IKG4U Check it out here!

Quote - But i have some problem with Turns. character facing one way and then facing another. Whenever i try doing keyframe animation and then tur the character around, everything goes wacko..

josterD, I have the same problem.  aniMate does go wacko.  I'm not sure if that is the script in the "free version" (versus the "purchased version").

Anyone know what is up with that?  I love making hot (or cold, if you prefer) Cylon chicks, but I can't dream of Cylons all day.

Other than that, DAZ3D seems to a-okay.
