I wonder what kind of work it would take to animate one of the 

independents

(like "The Beginning" or "Scyth").  Just how much can you do on a PC?

I'm curious.  *Has* animation from some of the anime we watch been done 
and sequenced on a computer?  What about the music?

Does anyone know?

I got bored one day, and was paging through all of the music modules 

at ftp.cdrom.com, when I came across a couple of interesting ones.  I 
modified one, and now I have what would sound appropriate as title 
music for Blue Lightning, volumes 1 and 3.


    Ah yes music. Hehs. I'm a very big John Williams/James Horner/Mike 
Kamen/Graeme Revell and more fan. (beats back every growing CD 
Soundtrack selection with a large stick whew.) If the Beginning were 
ever animated....hrmmmmms. I think I'd like the guys who did Macross 
Plus or Akira to do it. Computer graphics would be a must.
    I'd rather go with live action, Stan Winston+ ILM doing SFXs, 
(insert best day and only day of my life here. ;)) Director (well sides 
me heh): I dunno. Philp Noyce comes to mind or maybe the guy from Red 
October. Speilberg would be there.I have actully done one soundtrack to 
the Beginning. Mostly background music and with songs by Huey Lewis, 
Roxette, Queen and others.  
    If and when the Beginning was put into motion and music came up it 
would be a toss up. John Williams, Horner and Kamen pop straight to 
mind in that order.

    As for the computer animation question: I've done some stuff on the 
power mac with Director. Used Freehand for redoing my art and the 
Illustrator. Music.....I used to play the clarinet in HS.

    Take the entire kit and ca boodle to Dream Works and let Speilberg 
work magic. :))))) And yes the entire movie would be in ear bleeding 
THX.
