Just looking for some feedback. Early in the process here. Also, gif is pretty
limiting, so what is a good way to convert 100 bmps & a mp3 into a decent video
file? (Yes, Windows XP)

You want it, you get it =B)

The dolphin's tail fin is moving way too fast compared to the whole dolphin's
speed. Dolphins are far more efficient swimmers than that.

Also, I'd expect more upward/downward movement of the dolphin's center of mass
as it swims about.

When swimming around curves, I'd expect the dolphin's body (at least the tail
section) to bend sideways.

Just my first impression.
