I saw a very nice animation several years ago that showed population
growth in the Portland area from 1800s to present. As most of you
probably don't know, we have an Urban Growth Boundary here.
The animation just showed population spreading outwards until it hit the
UGB, then backfilling into the UGB and increasing in density until
today. Leaving the farmland outside the UGB protected. Duh.
It was really cool. I will be gone for the next week, but if I or anyone
else who has seen this animation, can think of the presenter we'll let
you know. I think it was someone from METRO.

Hi,
Thought I'd forward this to the hyper posse since it is somewhat
relevant and it is for a good cause - and I wasn't able to find
anybody in my immediate group who could help,
Lisa Van Cleef at the Nature Conservancy mentioned that she needed a
video sequence showing a zoom in of the planet earth over a city and a
kind of animated sequence of two kinds of outcomes; one with unbounded
growth and the resultant impact on the surrounding nature and another
sequence with a more managed growth boundary.
Initially I thought it might be more of a simulation kind of project,
but since it's a canned sequence it is probably best done using tools
like Alias/SoftImage etcetera.
In any case hope it is not off-topic - seems like an interesting
chance for somebody to do something for a for good organization.

Good Morning Anselm,
Were you able to find anyone interested in our project? Any leads
would be greatly appreciated as I don't know where to turn on this
project!
Thanks,
Lisa
