Buck, You sure have courage to publicly admit that you use something less than "broadcast quality" gear! From the talk around here, I thought anyone who didn't output frame by frame at the highest resolution to Betacam or D2 was a sissy <g> In my experience in (non animation) video production, I've found that there are really two levels of quality: unacceptable and acceptable. If you're stuff is steady, clear, and well lit it will usually fall into the "acceptable" level and users don't know or care about the difference between VHS and anything better. I recognize that the acceptable standard for commericials and hollywood stuff has to be much higher but I fully agree with your observation that most people are delighted with "low quality" stuff. One question: how do you make use of the time lapse function on your camcorder or deck? Alec Jason
