Nice (but a bit short).
To have music in it would be great (but can't think of anything good and free).

It is short, as well as musicless,
They will be for my mod, so i want to keep them as small as possible, and I usually play w.o sound anyway, want to keep them small because they aren't the building being built, it is just pictures of the building, not sure how long you can make, 2 or 3 pictures seems enough to me

Plus its simple so I can make more and basically fulfill any request

@ The J, do you know what makes it so big? Most movies that are 30 sec take around 1 MB, my 9 second one is 5MB

No idea, never made a video .
If I should guess, then I'd say that you've probably used images with a really high resolution (at least that .gif is sure not small).

I already made a couple of them like Big Ben, Arc de Triomphe and Bird's Nest
I've been away for a while but I've seen a lot of new stuff (wonders, projects etc...) which could use a movie

I plan on redoing those, since those were just really tests for how to make movies, and those are actual movies, which im going to switch to the static ones. im using the ones i make for my own mod which is 160mb, and has around 100 wonders and 15 projects and that is only going up. So tripling the size of the mod for movies aint worth it, and these are much smaller so i like them better (although obviously worse quality)

Im sure im going to duplicate many of your things, but not rivaling them since they are honustly for different tastes. Keep up the good work

And if i released all my 300 movies I have on my deskot, I would over take you by 200+

Trust me I would rather do packs, but three reasons I don't

1)Screenshots for the movies
2)Dont like a bunch of packs that got no rhyme or reason
3)Main reason: So I can always have a link to where I got it. Due to my system its a pain to do it for a bunch all at once, and i wanna make sure people know who the pictures belong to

Plus, doesnt really matter to me were im on the list

file size on static movies is smaller if they are a dds texture. bik is really a bloated file type if there is no sound or movement in the movie.

However if you use dds you don't get the summary of what the building does at the end of the movie.

Sorry but thats not true whatsoever. If you take a 512x512 picture in dds, it is 173kb, and if you put that into a movie, it is around 40kb, which is a huge difference when you are adding a lot of movies. Movies are (suprisingly) definatly smaller

Also the other reason I do the movies
