No, it’s other programs as well, like WORD. I’ll try trashing all the prefs for all of the affected programs and see what happens.

I repaired my disk permissions through the Disk Repair app. I then started my computer. Unfortunately, it didn’t work. Any pther suggestions?

Thanks for the help,

Thanks!

I don’t think an expression for the wheels in necessary in THIS case, but I will keep in mind.

Todd,

I had a medium shot (waist up, or maybe even a bit wider) in mind. Is this wide enough to be convincing with a bird’s real wings? I peeked at a still from CONTANTINE on the net last night and it was almost a full shot that we see of Tilda Swinton (albeit she’s crouching), but the wings are huge. They look very real,nice feather detail and movement but I’d be intersted in a second opinon (it may have been a combo of CG and prop wings–maybe even rigged). I probably should take a look at some real prop wings that can be rigged (more controllable), I’m just a bit afraid that they come as rather hoaky (like the “Hawkmen” of De Laurentiis’ “Flash Gordon” on the early 1980’s).

I see what you’re saying about using the stock footage (Artbeats?) Maybe I can even stop by the LA Zoo for some custom greenscreen work that would exactly fit what I need. The wings movements of a real bird would be unparalleled (even with a prop and riggers) Control, of course, and matching the wings to the actor’s position and movement would be a major factor, though.

Any further ideas would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks,
