Movies using backdrops?

I've already read the page regarding using backdrops to fake movies, and I've already gotten some basic ones done using a combination of GIMP, Anim8or, and Blender, but I was just wondering if this is something that's really commonly done? Are there any existing OHR games that make extensive (well, perhaps not extensive) use of that script or something similar?

Perhaps I am being a bit too ambitious, hehehe...

I can't think of any game that uses this technique for an animation longer than just a few seconds.

Even at a miserable 4 frames a second, a 1 minute movie would balloon your RPG file by 15 megabytes :(

Hmm... 15 mb? Not extremely bad I suppose, but I can see how using a lot of movies would really add up.

And considering Legacy is already at around 15.9 mb, I'd best get to optimizing everything for smaller file-sizes.
