lj,

Thanks for your reply, yeah that was the kind of thing I was thinking about.
Steve Cossman gave me the little spark of info that I needed which was
that I could bleach the emulsion off an old trailer - should be enough
to keep me occupied for a while.

It's not so much animation I'm interested in as shape over time, so i
don't need any of the complicated things to be able to trace the
previous frame.

Thanks,

Pete
