I've now made a little Quicktime movie, which you can find here:

<http://pianomaker.co.uk/movies/balance.mov> (2.4 Megabytes)


To view it you will need Quicktime, free download from here:
<http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/> and I recommend you 
upgrade to version 7.1 if you are using an older version.

RealPlayer will also play the file (Mac or Windows) but it's messy on 
Windows machines.

Although it will play in the browser it is better to download the 
file and play it in Quicktime Player, which will give you more 
options.

The movie is work in progress and will eventually be far more elaborate.
