So here's your homework... use the motion capture gear to help build the motions for this years animation. I'm going to pick the best submission and bring that homie up to my crib and have them put a computer version of me over a performance by Dustin Hoffman. Yeah, definitely, yeah.

Lucas gets his performance, I get my payday, you get famous, and Dustin gets to use some of that Kung Fu that he picked up. We all win, see, it's thinking like this that got me out of Philly.

Science
Technology
You got it and I need it.

Peace, out.
