<div>I agree: it is cute, but pretends to do what is impossible, ie
have someone appear to speak a language they don't actually speak.
Much hype, and it was shown to the NT DEET Executive some years ago,
who were mightily impressed. I will say no more.</div>

I would also be interested in the responses to this. Last year I
attended two 'training' courses for Marvin but I'm still not sure it's
worth the effort, cute as it is. To get certain effects, eg NT
Uncle singing along with a few other guitarists I was advised it is
necessary to make multiple videos and import another character each
time. And you lose the sync with the audio and actions doing
this. Also, other characters can't remain sitting while another is
singing etc. I felt it was still a work in progress that I'd
keep an eye on. A week or so ago it appeared that there have
been some updates but my email with some questions still remains
unanswered. A good idea but frustrating in my book.<br>
