Yes I'm interested...
If you can, clip the source rasters and mosaic, whatever you have, just to give me a sample (if you don't mind) along with the relative-sourced lyr files and an mxd, maybe your py files, and if you would please just zip it into a single root folder (makes it easier to send back to you).
....then later, when all's done, I want to see the project, if that's okay with you! I've never done or even seen the time-slider stuff, lol, just read about it!

PS- Curious about this, is there the ability to export a gif or some sort of media animation file from the time-enabled data frame, or at least with enough 'snapshots' in time to assimilate into some sort of animation? hmmm...get to that later.
