 I've noticed alotta hostility in this forum in the last few months, whether towards OT thread posters or newbies.  it's like the C&D or tavern, all over again.  beating up on the newbies is alot easier than helping them: since they're newbies, their requests are gonna look bogus at first, as they don't know the how to use the software, they haven't read the manual yet, and they don't know the jargon to ask detailed questions. 

however, somebody familiar with poser 8 animations will still a week or more to set up something for a school assignment, starting with the scenario/storyboard/plot, even if they're just using keyframes every 15 or 30 frames, rather than using bvh files, which is much quicker IMVHO.  if the user has several years experience in poser and bvh, it will still take time to add all the props (scene elements) and adjust the lighting.  if it's a school assignment, that may mean no porno, implying acquisition and fitting of clothing/hair props/items, unless robots or bald anthropoids are allowed.  sound track may be needed.  then the FFRender process, which may take an hour or more per frame, unless preview animations (lousy) are allowed.

hence to summarise, even if a very experienced user tries to do this, he/she would need at least a week AFAIK.  an inexperienced user would need an unknown amount of time.  at this point it becomes an issue of ethics, e.g. student to hiring somebody to do schoolwork.
