I'm not suprised my idea was not original at all. It's so common to discover
some other people got the same idea before you.
I considered it a "joke" as I suppose the resulting movie looks a bit strange
and unreal, but at a second thought I must admit it's really quite a simple
and fast method to document a model you want to be able to reproduce in the
future.
Glad to hear somebody actually used it.
