- > actors?
- Nah the bit with the box that open's & groucho marx mask's bounce up & down.
- The Paula Abdul stuff is brilliant in parts dicey in other places.
- But is 2D anyway, who knows what that was done on. Though it would be
- a safe bet it was digital all the way through.

- > What other ads have your company done, just out of curiosity?
- Very few so far. We have mainly done TVNZ title graphics.
- America's Cup, One Playhouse, Whitbread and various others.
- (The America's stuff looked alot better b4 conversion to NTSC then Satellite
- back to PAL).
- We also did the real time animation tracking the boats in the America's Cup
- using a top end SGI box in San Diego.
