yep the 2.5 d is pretty much what im looking for. ive noticed that
motion has a basic 3d filter that provides all the rotations im looking
for...what you describe is pretty much what im looking for, not the
perspective efect as much as rotating a 2 d imge in a 3 d plane...yep
it looks odd when its on edge, but thats the look im looking for.
Cheers all..
