Animated Film made on Amiga A1200 in 1997
« on: September 22, 2011, 07:08:59 AM »
Hi All,
 
This is my first post here. In 1997 a friend and I made an animated film on A1200's that was shown on Central TV. At the weekend I found an AmigaGuide I wrote at the time (almost like a diary) on the making of. I decided it was time to post the film on YouTube. Although I find the film quite primitive and difficult to watch now it reminds me of very good times with the Amiga :)
 
You can watch just the film here...

Thanks for the kind comments.
Zipper - Yes there was an article in Amiga Format and some clips on the Cover CD. I think I did put some clips on Aminet. It's a long time ago now :)

Thanks ral-clan. Yes, we had a flatbed scanner. One of the cheapest at the time at just over £500!!
All info, if you want any more, is in the AmigaGuide that I retrieved that's now on my blog dalemation.blogspot.com

Wow! Thanks Rebel-CD32 :)
I miss those days too. They were much more exciting than computing today.

I never expected so many good comments! Thanks :)
I will have to sort out some more Amiga animations I did at the time.

I went to Berkeley CA once and went to a movie theater (forget the name)  which was showing several short animated movies similar to this. I  thought it was interesting and fun, but obviously not for everyone.

Don't let the naysayers tell you otherwise. Ignore them and the'll go back to Avatar and Transformers...    

Thanks bbond007. Everyone's entitled to their opinion and you expect good and bad comments - especially on the internet. Doesn't bother me :)
