Notes: This movie is too literal in parts, I admit defeat on that! Pleased with some of the imagery. Definitely a huge challenge this one. All the colours and effects (bar 3-5 obvious edits/effects) have been achieved within Second Life.

*Noticed the mouse cursor run across screen in this edit, and another couple of glaring errors (eek) will fix in the higher rezz version*
