Thanks, there are 600 frames at 25fps. Rendertime varies from 30 sec to 3min per
frame at a resolution of 360p. I'm in doubt, should I use 480p or go to 720p for
the final version. There is a priority to these question because a higher
resolution requires more details and accuracy in modelling the objects.

I use ffmpeg in combination with some powershell scripts. So it's only one click
to encode the whole thing.

It's only a imagemap. I used a photo I made years ago and combined these in "The
Gimp" with a picture of a dirty chalkboard to make it more irregular.

Thanks for the advise. I'll keep these in mind because my programming style is
more than messy.
