Actually, we seem to be in the same position as Matt. I am a Graphics Designer and Database modeler at GreyStone Technology in San Diego, a company that develops real-time virtual entertainment simulations on the SGI. What I have proposed for the next project development is set up a system where we can storyboard our next game using small clips of frame-by-frames, store 'em on a HD, be able to move them around ( "Put that one first….no, wait, put that one fist.."), and when everything is just right put 'em out to tape. I was really impressed when I got a Toaster/LightWave demo but taking everything into account ( the fall of Commodore, the huge PC digital video market, etc.) I'm hesitant to seriously recommend it. So, I joined CompuServe for it's Amiga forum just so I can draw on your wealth of knowledge and experience…anything you can tell me about the software and hardware YOU would buy in this situation would really help me get over this wall… Thanks!
