Shamms Mortier Video Toaster User / May 1995 MotionCLIPS Awesome for many reasons, this CD is a must-have for computer artists and animators. This disk contains mostly animation files in single-framed JPEG format. There are about a dozen backgrounds thrown in for good measure, but the animation files will be what turns you on. I would classify these files in three categories: standard, movie clips and claymation. By "standard" I mean clouds, water, Niagara Falls, early spring along a stream, and more. All of these animations contain enough single frames for about 10 seconds or so of footage (at 30fps). There are some great animations of stromy skies, and the Niagara Falls shoot is spectacular. The movie clips are mostly black and white vintage material. There are shots of a science lab table, a machine shop, a traffic scene, a bus stop, a football game and more. These could either function as backgrounds or as texture maps (like a shot of a 3D TV set model that needs a moving "picture"). The claymations are the cream of the crop, and focus upon a claymation "band" and its players. I'm not sure where you would use this, but I love the idea. Accadia is going to work on more of these, and they're open to doing claymation as a custom job, too. Added to all of this is a library of psychedelic optics that are great for either texture maps (especially bump maps) or backgrounds. R.
