Requires QuickTime (comes with Macs, free download at
<http://www.quicktime.com> for Windows). Streaming video, 11 MB -- might
not be suitable for slow modems!

The graphic was shot with an OM-4T and a Zuiko 180/2.8 from the top of
Mt. Scott, the highest point in Crater Lake National Park, in eleven
separate frames, encompassing nearly a 90 degree angle of view. I
scanned them and assembled them into a panorama using Adobe Photoshop
and layer masks. I printed it out at 4 feet tall by 20 feet long, and
cut the print apart into three stencils to paint the mountain ridges. A
second 3 foot by 15 foot print was cut into stencils to paint the lake
and island. With the help of several maps, I determined the names of
prominent features, and labelled them. For a dash of color, I made the
island a live volcano.

The movie itself was shot with an Olympus E-20, assembled from over 500
time-lapse frames. The morphs added another ~500 frames derived from
about a dozen still frames, also shot with the E-20.

My old step van got only 7 mpg on gasoline. This is a diesel, that I run
on waste vegetable oil. It gets 17-20 mpg on free environmentally-safe
fuel that was grown on American farms!

If you look at it, please email privately regarding performance. I
haven't put any time into hinting or optimizing yet. I've never streamed
anything this big, and I'm curious how it goes...
