for one thing, I realized (way too late) that tight syncing wasn't really

going to happen. I'd planned for his lips to animate with the words (cause

there were so few), but I quickly saw that varations in cpu would make that

a nightmare.


so for the most part I just did stuff that was less dependent on precise

timing. For example: eyes opening slowly during musical transitions. And of

course the frentic backround animations that always look decievingly well

synced.


Oh, and the little icon fellow were a neat trick too. Since the music

started off with that with stop/start kind of sound, I did the same thing

with the icon fellows. That creates the same sort of illusion as the

frentic bg animations.


now I just have to work out what to do about 28.8s and below...
