[PyMOL] Scene/Mview question

Hello Pymol-ers,

I am trying to script pymol to make some movies. I would like to:
1) move the molecules around and save their states somehow (as a state or
scene or something to that effect). After that, I would like to be able to
2) move the camera around independently of the molecules to give a nice
effect.

You can see below that I am able to do the first part of this. However when
i use either "scene" command (in use) or the "mview" command (commented out)
I run into the same problems: My camera  position seems to be locked so i
can no longer use the positioning and interpolation  functions that Warren
and others worked so hard to put together. I have been playing with this for
a while and can't figure out a solution. I am hoping someone may have some
hints on how to proceed.


thanks,
