Even though I have access to some nifty equipment, I have had to try for low cost solutions for certain projects as well. One trick that I have done to make my walkthrough animations look better is to render the first and last frames of the animation on a targa or whatever at a high resolution and true color (you can send a still image out to tape without a frame controller or special deck), and put those frames at the beginning and end of a VGA animation put to tape through a VGA>NTSC converter. The still images are only when people notice detail and colors and stuff, when the picture is moving you can get away with murder (at least to a point…). Hope this helps, or at least gives you some ideas.
