Busier than usual this week, so I thought I'd take the easy path by finding a stock photo, adding a few triggers, slide layers, and voilà , I'd have a challenge demo.
This is the photo I started to use:

Things were humming along smoothly until I got some (unsolicited) feedback: "Why don't you use Storyline's characters? You could create your own gradient backgrounds and stage the same photo shots."
And that's how 20 minutes became a couple of hours:-) It was worth it, and I am really pleased with how it turned out.
