ANIMATION DESCRIPTION: 


Mr. Reeves has just come home from a long day at a job he doesn't enjoy.  
He's recently fallen on hard times, but he's trying to keep up appearances, and
keep what's 
near and dear to him.


VIEWING RECOMMENDATIONS: 


Compiled to be 24 fps, and works fine under Win98's MEdia Viewer.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS ANIMATION WAS CREATED: 


Well, even though it's submitted, I'm not completely happy with it.  The
movement's 
too crisp, not like a tired person.  I'd planned on having audio on it ( my
background 
is in Radio/Television production ), but I ran out of time ( I was also worried
about 
running over on size limitations). There are only four light sources, all of
them area 
lights ( no points ).  I started this image as getting used to Moray, but
decided to 
turn it into an animation for this round. 

Special Thanks to:

Lutz Kretzschmar for creating such a helpful tool in Moray. Paper and pen would
never have
allowed me to create what I did.

Jeff Lee for the 'Scholler's Tools' image I used for the book cover.  He was
nice enough to 
give me permission to use it for the animation.
