Mike.... I have been enjoying your film... I was mildly amused at how we both had more or less the same idea for the initial opening of earth from space and them zooming in. I'll have more detailed questions for you privately, but I liked how you did that.

Your editing was nicely paced and tied things together - though I can only imagine how much work that must have been.

I'm not quite finished yet but have enjoyed your film immensely. I said this before,but your catalougue of animals, birds, reptiles and arachnids etc is fantastic.

I'll post more later after I finish my first and add a 2nd watch. Good job. Good luck !

Hi Mike:

You've been so quiet on the threads, I was beginning to worry about you!

Chris- The animation you asked about is easy to do with NASA World Wind using the blue marble data set and Movie Recorder plug-in. It’s all free and public domain. I think it’s the best software to use for animating satellite imagery. Contact me if you need help getting started.

Thanks Cat. I have a long list of tasks that somehow got postponed until November that I’ve been working my way through. Then on Thanksgiving I took time off to excavate a crater in the lawn so I could have a go at some faulty plumbing. You know, the usual…
