The Sceniced & Undecided has numerous animated scenes. Many people have asked to see what they look like, so David helped me create these short videos. You have three file type choices:

  • full-resolution MPEG2 (very large files, best for broadband)

  • medium-resolution Windows Media (moderate-sized files)

  • low-resolution Windows Media (small files, best for dial-up)

To save files on your computer for playback, right-click the filename link and select Save Target As... Windows/broadband users should be able to play the Windows Media videos directly by just clicking the filename links. (The images below are frame grabs from the videos.)
