RENDERER USED: 
    Art of Illusion 2.3.1

TOOLS USED: 
    Art of Illusion, MainActor

CREATION TIME: 
    evenings for 2 or 3 weeks

HARDWARE USED: 
    Linux, Windows, and Mac PCs

ANIMATION DESCRIPTION: 

An investigative journalist (or maybe an industrial spy) has penetrated the
top-secret research facility of a well-known text adventure company in search
of a revolutionary user interface technology.



VIEWING RECOMMENDATIONS: 

(includes audio) Quicktime, Windows Media Player, and Java Media Studio all seem
to work

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS ANIMATION WAS CREATED: 

The first half of the animation is just a simple moving camera fly through. In
the second half, Art of Illusion's "gestures" feature is a natural fit for the
fingerspelling sequence.

Thanks to Matt Nohr for the use of his Keyboard model!
