The Spider QuickTime Movie!
The Spider
QuickTime Movie! 23 seconds, 160x120 pixels, 8 frames-per-second (1.4
MB)
I animated this using seven Raphael DeSoto covers and Mathias Tschopp's
QuickEditor 3.6 video editing shareware. The music is a looped, 5 second sample
from the "Verdun 1916" episode of The
Young Indiana Jones Chronicles (Music composed, conducted and
produced by Joel McNeely. Recording available on Varese Sarabande
Records, Inc.). This file requires a movie-playing
application, and looks best in millions of colors.

culture, and our own childhood dream worlds."
