New Laptop

AM is a little graphics heavy so I needed to update to a PC with a reasonable amount of Graphics memory. Came across a cheap Acer Aspire with an i5 chip, 4gb (expandable to 8gb) RAM and a 1gb ATI video card (that can borrow more - up to 2.5gb) from the main RAM. Seems to wizz along with AM and I can get virtual real time playback in the Chor or Action windows - will save me all that rendering out to see my progress.

Working on a Scarecrow of Oz scene to hone my skills and determine the best screen layout and setup before moving back to the Animatic. My Mentors and Critics still have some changes for me (Script and Scene 2) so I want to iron those out before moving to the next scene.
