Hi,
I have a short animation of a robot and I have a couple of questions about animations.

Question 1) I want to start a new animation - using the last frame of the current animation as the first frame of the new animation.
Is this possible?

I can begin animating again from this point - I know that - but that will just give me an even longer animation, and this one took 23 hours to render and disturbed my sleep no end.

So... now for :

Question 2)  Can I use the last frame of the previous animation as the first frame of the new animation - but filming from a different camera angle? (i.e. either moving the view to a different point or changing from the current Director's view to the camera view... if you follow me)

Question 3) Can I go back to a certain point in the middle of this first animation and change to either a different camera or move the current director's view to a different location and do a new animation from that point with the main character still following the same route but being able to slow things down a little this time - without loosing the rest of the route he took...?

Do paths have something to do with this?

Help!

(P.S. I now have the animation as an .avi, but it's 20.9MB)  um...
