Thanks! Since the minifigs only have one leg joint, the only way they
can actually walk is by shifting the weight of their body. So I made
him bob sideways while walking. I think it gives him a bit more
character, as well as actually being realistic!

Perhaps you could save some compression by letting the camera be
static, but then again it's a bit more boring to watch. As long as
bandwidth is limited, I think we'll have to live with compression.
It's a fact of life...

I simply copied both the sky and the ground off the demo files from
POV-Ray. I think I used the skies3.pov or something like that.
Remember to flip the sky upside down, though, as LDraw uses negative Y
as upwards. (Use "rotate".)
