Hi Al,

I used the gif animator program that comes with paint shop pro. www.jasc.com It can take jpegs or gifs, or I assume photoshop files, and you can set the time delay between frames.

Probably the slickest way to do your dai animation would be to use a quicktime movie format. When this loads, if you have the quicktime plugin you will see an audio loudspeaker that you can click and drag on to turn, but you could instead show one step in the creation of the dai instead of a rotation.

You need to have the identical background and lighting and be very consistent about the placement of the object to make this work.

So if you were doing a time lapse on dai creation, you'd want to set up a tripod and shooting table with a backdrop and leave the lights exactly the same. Then you could work the dai and replace it in exactly the same spot each time, then rework and reshoot, and create an animation that shows it developing.

Regards,

Matt
