Hi there!
Although I did like Soliloquy, I was not able to manipulate it as needed for the full width slider/affects I wanted. Instead, I purchased http://codecanyon.net/item/layerslider-responsive-wordpress-slider-plugin-/1362246 (Layer Slider), thanks to Wes’ advice, and it was the best $15 I’ve spent yet. Very cool plugin and lots of possibilities with Epik and many other themes. Looks great on mobile devices as well.
You can see it in action here: http://brnonline.org.
Good luck!
