Hi,
	I'm interested in finding out what sort of gear is available for
amigas for animation onto video. I would like to be able to do single 
frame animation and frame grabbing. I understand that the latest Amiga's
will do all this sort of stuff with a fex extra addon's. What I would
like to know is :-
	1) Which model Amiga should I buy and how much are they ?
	2) What is the best sort of genlock and graphics board to buy (I've
heard of things called "video toasters" and other exotic names) ?
	3) Whats the best software to buy for creating and controlling 
animations and how much is it ?
	4) Does any body have any recommendations for video recorders 
capable of doing animations ?

Finally, can anybody recommend a good cheap supplier for this equipment in
Australia ?

Thanks very much for any help, please email to me if possible, and I will
even summarize if there is any interest.

Thanks again
