Happy new Year ronaldefarmer
 had to download it to watch it. No way i can see anything on this monitor that HUGE.
 I like the idea, but could possibly improve it if the words, at some stage,  became visible while 'not upside down'.
 Possibly not any easy fix tho.
 Anyway, always good to see something new from you.
 have a gr8 year.

Thanks Johnar, I'll change the camera angle and post a smaller video when I get a chance. I haven't had time to do anything in Anim8or for a while--just getting some practice with targets. Happy new year!

That one sort've misses out on a lot of the 'reflection thing' that you had going on in the first one.
 Would have to say i like the 1st one better.
And actually, you can read quite clearly what it says in the reflection in the first one, so it's really pretty cool as is, 1st time round.
 All interesting....

 Edit: Video same size here. Maybe its me.....

I resized the first video at the same time that I posted the second, so both are 720x720. Is that still too large to be viewed comfortably in the browser?

  I've been having some browser issues, so possibly its me, but if anyone else sees the video in their browser as 'way too big' then not sure whats going on.
 At my end i need to horizontally scroll the length of my screen to show the other half of the video frame.  Its huge.
But then, likely its something at this end, i'd think 720x720 should be ok?
 Anyone else using firefox having this issue?

yep, using Firefox here, and seeing insanely wide (1500 pixels, ish?) boxes, greyed-out because the format is unsupported.

 Much better in firefox. (only browser i have at the mo).
 Its pretty well full size now, so 720x720 would probably be the max for size
 (a fraction smaller would be perfect, i still have a small scroll bar at bottom)
 But thats a size issue. It seems the initial problem was the format.
 Looks good. Defineately prefer this view...
