WOW, I haven't looked at Moray or the animation plugin but I may now
have to. I have though about doing something like this a few times but
it always seemed like a huge project to do so I never started it. How
did you get the great camera movement. Reminds me of the rendered
movement from 7th Guest.

Just pointing and clicking....using the cubic interpolation of the animation
plugin, this is what it looks like. It's "classical" key framing - i.e., you
just pose the camera as it should be at a certain frame, and the
interpolation will take care of the rest.

I really recommend Moray....it is starting to look really, really good! (IMHO
- but then, I'm also a registered user! =) )

Yes, I agree, that is a little unusual, too pedantic perhaps. I will
consider removing this.
Thanks for your constructive criticism.
