Thanks again everyone. I would like to solve it, just because it bugs me that I can't. But animation takes so much time and I know so little about nodes and such.

I'm not even using firefly since I would be dead before it finished rendering. It's an animation to a music track that is 3 minutes long. That may not seem like much time, but it is to me. It's just for fun... well it was...grrrrrr.

I just wanted to see if I could do it with my minimal skill level. It was going along nicely (for me) until this. I had help with turning the bus red from it's original colors to red, which was a whole new horizon for me. I didn't know you could change the texture color animating it. A new gnarly skill for me.

Not sure where I will take it now, but I know I can shrink it out of existence without any hassle, so that is very appealing. I'm only half way through the song so there is much more to do to get stuck in 1 shot too long.

I do appreciate, as always, the incredible help from the forum here. Thank you all again.
