I found it pretty easily on the yahoo video search http://video.search.yahoo.com. I recommend checking it out if you already haven't, there might be something in there you can use.

edit
sorry, I'm a turd, I thought you meant live action reference. :)

Stock 3d gif animations that you can put into flash banner ads pretty easily...do a search for camel...they might have one that's free. If not, it's pretty cheap as well. Hope that helps.

watch it is not enough.. i need to buy the movie.. i dont have enough money or time to download it..


i only want a small movie that contains a camel walking from left/right side..

if you have one, please send it to me

sending to me is easy.. just send it to my FTP server

ftp://eech55.no-ip.info
you dont need any password. anonymous access allowed


for others.. please dont delete files in there.. i want to trust you.
i dont want to create users and send them passwords in PMs.



waiting to hear from you.

ok, thats not a good idea to do what you just did with the FTP if you have files you need on there. Just asking someone to not delete them isnt going to be enough. It's like asking people to stop making viruses or hacking. Sooner or later someone is most likely going to delete one or some of the files. I'd really take that down if it were me.

No, I'm not going to delete them, so if it happens, well...i didn't do it.

I see what you mean.. i agree with you.

i want to start a white page with CGTalk memebers.. i can create users and give it people in PM.

we are educated.. there is no fun for some one to come in and delete older files..

any one can put any camel movie in.. once i see it, i'll put it into read-only folder.

before i put it there, it is possible for any one to delete.. but why? there is no fun :)


i dont think we have children here



and BTW...any one can upload any file.. this FTP server is free for every one.. use it as you like.. but dont abuse.. judt dont delete camel movies.





thanks in advance

i found the movie i want..

http://rds.yahoo.com/S=96781308/K=camel/v=2/SID=e/l=VDP/SIG=12n82h4kj/EXP=1112282037/*-http://www.dalton.org/departments/Art/art_video_mm/janvey/camel.mov

but i need to do two things before using it.

one: remove the background and make it transparent.. either with GIF or TAGRA formats
two: stablize the camel. because the camera is shaking. in other words, its like the camel was shaking.. i need to make it more stable.. no shaking.


my questions:-
how to do plan one
how to do plan two


i was thinking to open each frame in adobe photoshp and remove the background manually! a very very unpractical way.... i am sure you know better than me..

waiting to hear from you easy and tidy ways of fixing my problem.

if any one has enough free time to edit the small camel movie for me(14 frames only), i'll appretiate your help, and i'll give you a free web host in my UNIX webserver with php,cgi, mod_perl support


note: i need to export it to flash, I am thnking ot TAGRA format.. gif does not support transpanicy, while TAGRA does.. if there is other better formats, please tell me about.



watching this thread to hear from you all.
