Hey, folks -- sorry it's so long to reply here, but what the hey. I created the music on my stand-alone sequencer (Ensoniq SQ 1 -- I've had it since 1990, so it's pretty ancient.) I added edited the whole clip in AfterEffects, not because it was the best app for the choice, but it was the only app I had on my machine at the time that I could use. If I were to do this again today, I'd edit it (and add the music) in Premiere. The sound effects came from an effects CD (6001 sound effects or something equally cheezy), and I rendered the movie out of AE a BUNCH of times before I got the effects lined up precisely with the visuals. (In the first cut, there was actually a Poser shot, too, in which "the President" ordered the launch of the nuclear missile. I provided his voice. Alas, the shot was cut for time constraints. (You knew he was the president because of the cleverly placed presidential seal behind him.... And my presidential sounding voice, of course.) And Bluetone, I came at production from the visuals and have always found audio to be the most difficult and one of the most important parts of production. - Dex
