Hi Alex, There has been discussion about how to incorporate audio into the animations. For reference use, which is more of a 'just in time' training aide, the sound would probably be distracting (although not as eerie as silence... bwahahahah). For tutorial styles, many have suggested a music bed, although I'm leaning towards sound effects to accompany the different animations along with voice-over. That is a ways in the future though, as I often have more to do than I have time to do it.
In the mean time, feel free to use what I've put up, and I appreciate any feedback on how the animations worked or can be improved.
