The other day, someone said about this site: "I don't read text, but if there were a film clip I'd watch it." (Perhaps that's to be expected of people in the film and television industry.)
Well, I don't have a camera to make film clips with, and I'm not even sure what to put in them (though if anyone wants to make some with me, let me know), but here are some pictures that should be easy to look at. Animation and dialogue/voice-over to be supplied by your imagination.
Enjoy!
