flexible gooseneck

What is the best way to create a flexible gooseneck(like in desktop lamps) and animate flexing?

Thanks

I would say use a sweep along a spline and then lock each point you want to move in the animation to a dummy part. add the animation to the dummy parts. SW should update the sweep with every frame. Mike Wilson may have a better example on his site.

For some reason Mike Wilson "Bending pipe" doesn't work on my system. Pipe stays straight on animation. Any advise?
