I believe in the force that created the universe...

VIEWING RECOMMENDATIONS: 

Watch it at fullscreen size with any MPG capable viewer.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS ANIMATION WAS CREATED: 

The topic gave me the possibility to make a film about what I believe in. This 
is what I did.
The animation consists of a couple of single scenes, some of which just contain

text.
The cow is a model from the internet, converted to povray. The neck was bent 
with the object bender include file made by cris colefax. It took 45 min to 
render a frame of this sequence, I didn't find out why, so my PC had do 
calculate for a few days just for the cow sequence. It dreamed about cow necks 
afterwards I think.
I assembled the whole thing with MainActor 3.65 (mainactor.de, actually not a 
free program, it could have been done with any  video sequencer, but I obtained

MainActor for DV editing so what)

I would like to thank:

Marshal A.J. Paterson - the original soundtrack
Bob Hughes - the sun object
Yann Ramin - the stars
Chris Colefax - galaxy object and object bender
Micha Riser - the earth object
