"Be careful of working titles, they will take on a life of their own!"

It seemed innocent enough at the time.  I wrote a little piece of music, and had
to save it with some name, and chose "Synthopolis", because that came to mind
from the synthesizer voices I used.

So, what does this have to do with POV-Ray, you might ask?

Well, that darned "temporary name" kept telling me that it
wanted to be more than just a piece of music... so, I decided to make an
animated
music video from it, and the name "Synthopolis" and the march-style sound of the
music made me think of a little parade, in a "little" city.  So I started coding
up some little macros to create city blocks of multi-story buildings, and some
unusual parade floats, and from my recent introduction to "tilt-shift"
photography I wanted to make the POV-rendering even slower, so I added various

video happened!  There's still a lot I could do with this, but I wanted to wrap
it up and share the music and animation with everyone.  I did not use SSLT or
radiosity, but things are OK for now.  Let me know your thoughts good or bad!
I'm still learning this stuff!
