Video from when several cameras were attached to the Solid Rocket Boosters on a US Space Shuttle launch. Enhanced sound from the real source, apparently. In any case, quite a trip:

That was really good. It added something that I had Led Zepplin's Kashmir playing at the same time as I was watching it.

Lovely - thanks for that. I really like the trick of making the mouse pointer control the crossover - how on earth do you do that, I wonder?

Using Javascript, probably. There'll be an "onmousemove" event to trigger the code and then it should be a simple matter to determine who much of the overlaid image to display according to the x-coordinate of the mouse location value.
