Well, that's the best description *I* can come up with for it anyway :)

I'm having problems making it loop smoothly though.

Bob Hughes:

See, I told you I had some ideas :)

Comments? Insults? Offers of money? <grin>

Bye for now,
     Jamie.

Very nice! Now add an interesting (but still rather dark) background. And
maybe give the media and/or light and/or boxes some colours!

Btw, it loops perfectly on my computer using windows media player...

I'll see what I can think up.

It stutters briefly when it loops on my machine using WMP.

Yeah!

Same here. That's odd... but a welcome effect nonetheless. :)

No Quarter (old Led Zeppelin drum solo song title) to give, sorry.
The fuzzy to sharp transitions are a good effect.  Not sure if Rune is on
the right track or not by suggesting surroundings and colors but it does
seem like something's missing.  Probably because, as interesting as these
can be standing alone, it could be a nice addition into a larger scene.
Like a gallery display or computer game artifact I guess is what I'm
thinking.  Somehow worked into a scene anyway.
Thing is, they're animated.  Not exactly the stuff of stills.

Bob

Sorry to be nitpicking here, but No Quarter is *not* the drum solo
song. The name of the drum solo is Moby Dick.

Thanks for your patience ;-)

I've sort of got a vague idea of a scene to put it into, but it's going 
to take a while to figure out exactly what I want to do, and even longer 
to do it.  So if you're holding your breath waiting, let me know what 
flowers you'd like sending to your funeral <grin>

Bye for now,
     Jamie.

Thanks for changing a belief I had for these past 20 or so years.
Have I ever mentioned I'm a failure at music trivia?  Well now you know.
Heck, I'm not even sure I spelled Zeppelin right  :-)

Have I ever mentioned that I can play "Stairway to Heaven" on my guitar,
including the live version of the solo? ;-)
So much for Led Zeppelin...

You did, you did!
