Hullo John
I felt great trepidation with the latest crash, and lets hope it was a one off, anyway the Daz figures sound like forbidden fruit to me, it would be just fine and dandy if I could finish the educational .mov for the charity by October, then if time is willing maybe experiment with Poser and other programmes, by the way the apple people are very impressed with what we are doing and when I go for my, Final cut tuition they are aways asking about the next scene animation, the tutor has asked would I be willing to allow them to show the production as an example of stretching the use of Final Cut Express.
Good stuff.
