Here lies the residue of "The Animating Apothecary," a source of obscure ephemera and thought, while nibbling at the crustier extremes of an overbaked society.

Trying to make Flash 5.5 provide layering effects, using Flash to erase bits with a mouse (!!). I even mixed a soundtrack for the "trailer." Oh to be a kid again! Here I discovered that Flash wasn't very good at rendering out its own AVI or MOV files - they were gigantic and pretty much unplayable - and today they don't enlarge well at all. Looks like a restart from scratch project... will have to track down some PD orchestrations as well. Such youthful ambition!!

Just the first frame - a lot of nudging to get something of interest...but with time, with time...
