While I was editing the first Total AE series, there was a guy in the =
room across the hall from me shooting some end credits for a film on an =
Oxberry animation stand. I remember thinking the work I was doing might =
indirectly put him out of business, and feeling more than a bit sad =
about that.

There's no stopping progress though.

round a drum and rotating it in front of a real camera! Hang on, where's =
my walking stick! ;-)
