I've been invited to give an advanced tech talk on developing an edi system for healthcare claims in June. It has to be done as a power point presentation, but me being me I don't want to do just an hours worth of slides, so I plan on doing several slides interspersed with the tech speak with some animated slide s. One of them is an illustration of the system as whole as a rube goldberg like machine. This is a test I just threw together of the first piece, which will be an inlet belching envelopes onto a conveyor belt.

Looks like a good start... I was waiting for the spitball to come out.

I like the visual with its squash and stretch. It will really stand out if you can get a good sound to go with it ?

Here's an alternate idea that overlaps the motion for a bit more suggestion of spitting something out...

I wasn't digging the decals I used, so I re-worked the inlet and used a darktree copper material.

Robcat, I'm liking the motion you used. I had thought that the top portion seemed too stiff.

Getting down to the wire, needing to get the presentation completed and turned in to the powers that be by weeks end. This little bit is almost done. It's supposed to illustrate a process channel that takes a submitted file, process it in then moves it along to the next stage.
