Dear Christopher,
I would agree that computer controlled imagery is the way to go, but I would
not use Powerpoint ‹ Macromedia Director is the software that I would
recommend since it is capable of far more detailed editing ‹ cross-fades and
all.
I've been using it for years on my own productions.

Kindly
Christopher Jacobs
