iPhone LCARS app

Hey guys,
I'm developing an LCARS app for iOS. You may ask why, couse there are lots of them out already. But each one of them has its "but"- they either look good BUT are just static images, or they are interactive BUT look bad... so I want to come out with something that both looks good and reacts to the user.
Beside other stuff, the app will include a naigation pane, where you could for exampe give an order to enter warp. So I thought it would be neat if when somebody would press the button, there would actually be a video sequence of the ship (Galaxy class Enterprise) going to warp. So I was wondering if somebody from around here would be interested in helping me out with this.
Thanks.

For my voyager bridge i made a lot of LCARS screen (static) in adobe illustrator. If you want i can share them with you. They should be editable in flash.

The model was made by prologic9 and the max format by knightrider. I don't know if your allowed to use the rendering without credits. You will have to contact them. As for the animation's am i correct you need :
- bank left
- bank right
- Some evasive manouvering (pattern delta...lol)
- Go to warp
- At warp
- Warp to impulse
- phaser fire sequence
- Photon fire sequence
- Saucer separation (not in this model though)
Am i missing anything?
