Packaging and an animation

Today I met both my goals. I found a blister pack for a toro spray head that I had laying around and decided I wanted to use the exact same package for my valve. I also sized it so that while the original valve will be swimming a bit, it can accommodate the 3/4" model and also longer versions. The overall package is still relatively small to minimize shipping costs...cause you pay by both weight and volume...so I'll be paying to ship air from China. (Dirty air to be sure). I also relented that my CAD program would not make the animation by itself, so I did it the old fashion way by linking together a bunch of snapshots. Oh, and I started the marketing company on designing the package and some business cards. After this post, I'm going to buy my UPC code off the internet. :-)
