>you might just want to retry on a whole new FX layer
that's exactly what I did. Created a new animation controller and then set the expressions I wanted with the hai setup. 
I'll try using one of the presetns that comes with SDK to see if that works. 
The animation consists of 2 frames so at least I have that going for me.

Thanks for the help, I appreciate it! You actually pointed me to the area that I need to look at further. I'll try messing with it again once I wake up. Been at this for a week now and I'd hate to miss out an important detail just because I'm tilted.
