<description><![CDATA[If it wasn't for "cheat and sidestep it" we wouldn't have such iconic cinema moments as the point-of-view shots in Jaws (the shark kept breaking so Spielberg improvised).  The most bizarre "cheat and sidestep" one that I have ever heard of was during filming of Casablanca - they couldn't fit a full-size aircraft in the soundstage for the final scene so they built a smaller model, pumped in dry ice to have obscure the view and, to top it off, used midgets for the groundcrew.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[When all else fails cheat and sidestep the problem. What a great phrase! I have used many "cheats and sidesteps" while using Muvizu. I have a few that I would like to share with everyone as soon as I can figure out how to explain things to where everyone will understand. <br/>  <br/> I have a tendency to do things "on the fly", meaning that I'll get the results I want by "fiddling and tweaking" without really giving much thought as to how I actually did it. The end result is that I know how to get around certain issues but have difficulty trying to explain to others exactly how I did it.  <br/>  <br/> Maybe if I collaborated with a few of the talented "tutorial guys" on here they could help me get a few of my Muvizuu tips posted.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[As long as the caerma is static as well, Dreeko's suggestion of the screen capture works very well, I've used that before. <br/>  <br/> As I mentioned, there are poses that freeze motion and hold forever, none of them are a standard "arms at the side" stance though.]]></description>

If Muvizu can't do it then, short of the kind of painstaking trickery I suggested, just change the script to something Muvizu can do. <br/>  <br/> It is kind of odd that such a seemingly easy thing to have the characters do (nothing at all) should be so problematic.  A 'statue' mode for characters would be very helpful.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I could use a easy solution to this. I need a robot to stand still. I tried "Stand to attention" but it only lasted a couple of seconds. Would like him him to freeze for about 30 seconds.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Well I guess it's a bit late as the problem is solved, but what the hell: <br/>     <br/>   Many of the poses characters strike freeze them as well.  Points and hands right/left/wherever come to mind.  The Superhero "idle" pose also freezes movement.  I'm sure there's more, those are just the ones that come to mind.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[My tuppence - slow their shots right down and split screen/green screen them against the normal action, maybe?  Or only use the frames when they look staionary, and loop them?  I'd be trying something like that, anyway.]]></description>

<title>Message from Dreeko</title>
<description><![CDATA[All I can suggest is taking a screenshot of the character and place it on a backdrop.  <br/> This obviously means that your camera will have to remain static and youl need to be careful with the shadows from it.  <br/>  <br/> Good luck hope you get there! <br/>  <br/> Cheers <br/> D]]></description>

<title>Message from ukBerty</title>
<description><![CDATA[Is there a way to stop the movement of a character when they are idle. I'm talking about the slight "wobbling" they do which makes them look alive, which is fine, except when they're dead. <br/>  <br/> I need a vertical character to do this so the sleep/impact movements won't work for me. <br/>  <br/> Ideas anyone ?]]></description>
