I finished making the $500,000 question (only that, sorry!) of my own PPTx with the new Office 2010 Beta that I got recently. As many 2010 PPT versions, it has a basic virtual studio, with moving lights and the low wall behind the Fastest Finger Chairs. Once again, thanks to Sonicfan49 (AKA SonicXisnow2009) for the soundtrack!
I will put this up for download if it is popular, it will have to be PM's before I try and get the password from RegisFan. I will post it onto a site within a few days-and you have to use PowerPoint 2010 for this to work!
Hope you enjoy, more vids on my YouTube Page.

This is very nice ;D
One suggestion I would make is add the lines that connect the question hexagon to the edge of the screen (and connect the answer hexagons together and connect them to the edge of the screen)
It's a minor detail, but other than that it's very well done.

No problem. I had a feeling there was some technical reason why the lines weren't there. I can't imagine how hard it would be to make that in PowerPoint.
If you don't mind me asking, how long did it take to make that?

I started it only on Tuesday, and got it finished the next night...I would say 6 hours (that's including things like correcting the lights, adding extra effects etc.) About half of that time was creating the core animations and getting them right, synced correctly with the music (and I did do that for the actual PPTx, but my screencap software (QuickTime X on Mac!) could not capture sound-so had to overlay on iMovie (Mac) The question itself is fully interactive, with all the 4 answers clickable and the run-out clock used to show answer after the clock has run out.

Although I did recreate the US graphics with the right gradients and edges etc, but I wasn't able to enter text into the grouped object (that included the lines), so it was a no-go there. The gradients on the hexagons on the vid were the same ones I used for that recreation.

Sounds interesting; I got 07 this year, but I'm finding doing the colour gradients a bit tedious..!
