Arne, thanks - using photoshop 7s animator was not too bad, in that the
colors are optimized for minimal posterization.  Its awful to use, but does
the best job.

That's a cool sequence, Chris!

I see that you have chosen animated GIF as the presentation format. GIF is a
standard supported by most browsers, which is good, however the limited
color depth and size doesn't make it an optimal choice for movies like this.
I have tried different solutions for animations myself (GIF, DIVX,  manually
animating JPG, etc.), but haven't found a very good solution yet. Either the
image quality suffers, the file becomes to big or the format requires
plug-ins. :-(

Does anyone have a good tip for format/software for making animations like
this?

Best regards,
Arne
