There are two nearly identical postings, a HD resolution and one that is
supposed to be iPhone viewable. Have fun.

I didn't start the project with the intent to publish it, but once I crossed
that threshold, it became inevitable. My first at widespread publishing, (thanks
to prompting by Yvo).

The project:
Typically I start with POV-Ray when I'm creating a wood or remodeling project. I
can make a whole bunch of sawdust and even mistakes are forgiving.

Over the years I've been working with Hammond organs, fixing them up, making
them more portable. This organ project became many of these, and still is, as it
exists in the real world and this animation is just its virtual world sister.
Lots of circuit and chassis modifications, parts wearing out or decaying (new
chemicals melted a bunch of old switches). The question I needed answered was
whether to use the existing carcass and build on to it or re-mount everything
into another box.

It is composited using iMovie. Apparently the maximum rate for stills is 10 FPS.
Gave me an easy path to slap together the four chapters, some overlays, and
backing music. If you have a problem with me using copyright music, go to a
concert, buy the tracks, take the musicians out to dinner, or take a record exec
scuba diving. I'll replace the audio later.

I've been using POV-Ray for well over 15 years. Every project also includes
developing my skills in the palette of tools offered. Animation and splines
along with a few of 3.7's new offerings were this project's exploration. Many

a Macintosh front end on the POV-Ray family.

Further discussion on the scenes, I will make a post to povray.text.scene-files.
