My animatic was too large to upload to my blog, so I put it on YouTube.  Why it took me this long to come up with such a simple solution is beyond me.

There are still timing issues I need to work out, but overall, I think it's a pretty good start.  I am particularly pleased with the look of the opening credits.  Totally 80's to the Max!
