Ian, >>The client image on the screen will have to be done with trickery though.<< It never occurred to me that this part would be tricky. Maybe my whole conference room sequence is questionable. A major point of the animation is to convice some in the clients company that it is worth spending a lot extra for some James Bond like technology for disappearing the windows (5) in the conference room. In the animation, The viewer would take his seat and look toward a corner of the room where 2 or 3 windows would be visible with a great daytime view of the NY skyline outside. A button is pushed (off screen) and hidden panels/doors begin to move out from behind fixed wall panels to close up the window openings and cut off the daylight illumination in the room (3 to 5 secs). Once the windows are covered and the daylight has FADED, the artificial lighting (wallwashers and down lighting on the table top) would FADE down as the projection screen descends; after which the slide image FADES up onscreen. This needs to have great dramatic effect or the concept is lost, and the animation is close to worthless. Is this sequence possible or should I just work on my song and dance routine?<G> Robb
