True again. I just watched Jedi today, and found that the sketch was not the same as the real model! I think it's time to make my own. I've been thinking about your statement about the models having animal characteristics, and it's really true. I noticed that, but I never thought about it much. The Scout that I was looking at really walks like a chicken! (without the wings and feathers of course.) I'm going to try to take the animal-machine relationship and do my own sometime. I don't know what I'm going to do with this head/pod though! It's too good to not use. I'll probably make my own version of a 2 legged walker. (chicken?) About the storytelling, I'm at this point now. I have a pretty good handle on my program now, and I'm trying to come up with a 1.5-2 minute story for my independent study. I've been trying to go backwards- trying to make a good story that uses this neat medium, instead of telling a story and using the neat medium as just the medium. My initial way makes a pretty dull story. The main problem is the time constraint. I have soo many worlds that I'd love to create, and 1.5/2 minutes is way too short. Know of any good filmmaking/visual storytelling books? (By the way I'm using Playmation, not 3DS- so I'm kinda hanging out with the "wrong crowd". <g> I know that this really doesn't matter…) John
