Just like at the beginning of a movie, I've created a reflective Warner Brothers
- like crest that I rotate and twist as it flies away from the camera to finally
land in a stationary position. I've mapped an image onto a thin 'screen' behind
the camera that reflects off the crest, and the whole effect comes off looking
pretty good from beginning to end. What I don't know how to do, however, is
make the image fade once the crest comes to rest. I don't want to just blank
it out - I know how to do that - and it looks pretty bad. It's a PNG image
that I'm using, so is there any way to take advantage of alpha or something
like that? I suppose the brute force method would be to make an image sequence
that fades, and then use those, but I was hoping to avoid this approach.
Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated.

My idea is to use an average of the image and pigment{Clear} with
weights set by the clock.

That sounds like an excellent idea. Thanks for the prompt input.
