Well, I've discovered that phase one of the editing (love that word phase), being the simple cutting out of the claymation creature, creating a new background "nothing" layer, and resaving as psd takes about 2-3 minutes per frame. Withing 14 hours work non-stop (lol, ya right), I should have damn near all of them done I think (20-30 frames an hour). I was giving myself up to 10 frames an hour, but that just wont fly, now will it! the little guy will look a lot better on an NTSC tv at the proper res. Hes zoomed in about 400% or something right now. ry
