San Diego John! 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>.
