Hey mate, remember me? FWIW, I have a totally impractical idea: Why don't you
do the old movie cloud-tank trick. You set up an aqaurium filled with coloured
water (or similar) and your camcorder at an appropriate perspective and then
mix in the appropriate fluid which will billow like clouds. Some research might
be necessary on this – a trip to the library and looking for a film special
effects book. The trick would be to get the correct fluids and good lighting
You could then use the video for a background. Told you it was impractical but
if you get it right it would be a killer effect <g>.
