I didn't start hanging out here regularly until about March of 2001, so I missed
this. My first attempts were with a camera but, I wasn't nearly as successful as
you were here.

I would sigh heavily at not having had an original idea, but I don't think there
are really too many of those in life. Also I stole this idea from someone else
in another package. They used a slit-camera technique and set the thing up as an
animation with the last frame being a regular camera and all previous pics
aranged as image maps on a plane. No scripting, not a bit automated, very
inconvenient.

I've been there (losing links) :) I'll have to look some of those up. Thanks.
