I've mirrored this on my site in the US at:

http://troy.simplenet.com/lego/animation/

I've also put a recompressed version there that is less then half the file
size.  It is more heavily compressed then the original, and only has 8 bit
mono sound compared to the original 44khz 16 bit stereo sound.  The image
size is only slightly smaller then the original 386 pixels, as the software
I used only supports 640 or 320.

In any event, it is still very watchable, and might give people with slower
connections a chance to see it.  If I ever get Premiere to work, I will
break it into smaller chunks, perhaps 5mb each or something.

I recommend everyone download this if at all possible. The CGI work is superb! The toothpaste commercial is actually kinda funny. I wonder why they chose to use Babylon 5 music and sounds for a Castle themed short. I sure wish TLG would make gold (...) (27 years ago, 6-Feb-00, to lugnet.general)
