David, As you can imagine, this thread didn't quite come out as I intended. I will say that the preceeding discussions were directly related to the subject, and definitely showed the controversy involved in this area. Not to detract from the moral issues being taken on here, I'd like to ask you a few things about the process that you used. Others that have experience in this area may also want to contribute. Not having seen your product, is live footage incorporated? When was this live component made relative to the graphical content? What steps did you take to ensure that the messages sent by the live video and the graphics were reinforcing each other? Were the basic items like the graphic leaders that announce each section of the tapes made early on, say just after the script was generated, or were they done afterward to reflect what was truly covered in each section? Or, were they done initially, and then modified later to reflect the content? What was the ratio, if you can estimate, between animations and object examples that you had previously done, and those made expressedly for this project? Are the LW objects that you used entirely your creations, or did you use some generic examples that are available, say with the Toaster SW itself? Or were they objects that were built during the Modeler segment? Did you use any method to seperate the things that are unique to this project from what can be called "common knowledge" techniques? Lastly, I'd like to ask if you would undertake such a project again. If not, why not? If so, what would you do differently? What things should someone starting out pay particular attention to? Thanks again for airing this in the forum, and for any information from the above that you can provide. Again, if anyone else has experience in this matter to share, I'm sure it would go a long way toward helping others. Other questions need to be asked, too. The way I figure it, the better all of our Amiga related projects come out can have a bearing on what we as a group see in the future. Thank you. … Nate, Emerald Video. I Animate – because – I am a Nate!
