Oh Gordon, the pic of you back in the 70s is great! Was it chance or planned that the helmet is the same colour as the scooter?

Hi Anna

I cannot actually remember but as I got them both together I would imagine that it was the nerd in me that decided to get the same colour for the helmet. I mean purple or yellow would have looked silly wouldn’t it?

I do hope that my colour choices have improved over the years

David, I'm very sorry, but I couldn't use your bike on account that the wheels would not show up on an animation very well, so I have...provided...a...substitute:

Here is a two-framer:

This was quite difficult, especially the unusual front wheel configuration.

PS Is he going backwards or forwards? It's all in the illusion as to how the mind works. Click on animation for a larger image.

Well done Michael, you've really gotten the hang of the minimalist frame count animations.

Just like airplane propellers...

Ahh nothing wrong with vibrant colours Gordon!! Yellow, not so much but purple is right up my alley!!

Michael, at first I saw him go forward but the more I look, Im convinced he is going backwards. The rider is nicely positioned on the bike.

Well basically you've removed it. The rear wheel is, or should be, under the passenger seat. Your bike is currently supported magically by the trailer.

Seems the sight of Gordon's Le Creuset helmet has discombobulated you more than you realised.

It's ambiguous but we happily assume and accept forwards because riders who drive backwards at this speed without so much as a glimpse over their shoulder tend to be short lived.

So not exactly following the brief this time. I didn't even try to get someone on the bike. Bravo to all who did. Anna - is that a Fuse character or a Poser one?

Time for a very large glass of wine after trying to get 'some' of the reflections.
A question, the first time this has happened; when I drag a group from one image to another the masks end up all over the place. Should I lock them first?

If by that you mean make sure they are linked to their image layers, then I think absolutely 'Yes'.
