Date: Thu, 17 Jun 93 16:50:31 EDT
From: [e-mail] (2d Lt Avram Dorfman)
Subject: [*] america's cup qt moov #3


This is a quicktime movie capture with the VideoSpigot LC on an
LC III 4/160. It is of 2 12-meter yachts crossing the finsh line,
and a cannon firing, signaling the end of the race.

It is stored in the standard Quicktime format, so you don't
need any special system modifications to watch it. It was compressed
with a low "quality" rating to save space, so the colors aren't
amazingly continuous.

-Avram Dorfman ([e-mail])

p.s. I'm told it looks really good in 24 bit video. 16 bit is quite good as
     well, as far as I am concerned. 8 bit isn't too great. Size: 980k

p.p.s I have another, of one yacht passing the other. it is really long,
      and the file is over 2 MB long (full quality color). If people like
      this enough, and request, I'll submit the other one.

Date: Thu, 17 Jun 93 16:49:28 EDT
From: [e-mail] (2d Lt Avram Dorfman)
Subject: [*] america's cup qt moov #2 (loopable)


This is a quicktime movie capture with the VideoSpigot LC on an
LC III 4/160. It is of a 12-meter yacht coming over the crest
of a wave an crashing through another wave.

The begenning and end match well enough to loop it, so even
though it is short, you can loop it and run it as long as you
like.

It is stored in VideoSpigot Format, which has a much better
compression ratio than the standard Quicktime (at least according
to SuperMac). This means that you must have the VideoSpigot
extension installed in your system. Fortunately, The license
agreement has allowed me to include it in this archive, so
drag & drop, reboot and play!!

From: [e-mail] (Wonko the Sane)

For those of you that were fans of my original Bird of Prey movie (Hi
Dave, Ward, Rory, Matt and Jeff) here's the long-awaited upgrade.  A
few aesthetic changes have been made, like a much more convincing
photon torpedo and a starfield.
    For the rest of you who have no clue as to what I'm talking
about, this is a quicktime movie of a klingon cruiser flying past,
turning, and shooting.  All computer generated, pretty short, and
nice and compact.  Enjoy.

Subject: [*] Codar ocean surface currents movie

This file was previously available on sumex but got deleted, probably in the
primitive days before the 3.5Gb drive.

In my off-hours, I consult for Codar Ocean Sensors, a company that produces
radar systems which create maps of ocean currents over a wide area, without
any moving parts or equipment in the water. Enclosed is a movie of the ocean
currents in Monterey Bay last summer.

Some people have asked how I created this movie. I wrote my own customized
program to do it using the information in the QuickTime Developer's Kit.

Greetings!

This is a quicktime animation I ran up using Infini-D 2.0. It took me about
a day of playing to get used to the program, and an evening to plan and
execute this 10 second piece of animation, and a night for it to cook on a
Quadra 700.

It shows a die bouncing through the void, which then becomes the company
logo for a place my wife works at (I made it for her).

And it's a bit too large for my mailer, so it's coming to you in 3 pieces.

Thanks!

From: RICHARD LIM <[e-mail]>
Subject: [*] Dinosaur Glares (pt 1 of 3)

A woman squirms in some kind of vehicle, obviously not enjoying the
rather inclement weather nor the unwelcome attentions of a dinosaur
glaring menacingly at her.

I wonder where one stumbles upon such nasty creatures.  (Note: this
is a rhetorical statement - the answer is apparently "off the coast
of Costa Rica", at least while a Mr Spielberg was there.)

This _very_ brief QuickTime clip (2 seconds) is 15 frames/sec, 160x120
pixels and uses Cinepak (the erstwhile Compact Video), 24-bit colour.

From: John Forrest <[e-mail]>
Subject: Colorized Gardnens Tour

This is a rework of the Hamilton Garden Tour stack that uses the Colorize
HC XCMD stack, rather than its own internal colour handling routines. I
originally did this for personal curiosity P I wanted to know how easy it
would be to convert the stack. I've released it as an example.

You will need the Hamilton Gardens stack (for the colour files), and the
Colorizing Hypercard XCMD package. Both of these are available for sumex,
among other places. You will also need Hypercard 2.0 and Quicktime, and a
colour monitor.

Date: Thu, 26 Nov 92 10:02 +1300
From: "Lawrence D'Oliveiro, Waikato University, Hamilton, NZ"
Subject: A Tour of Hamilton Gardens

This HyperCard stack is an interactive tour through part of a complex of gardens
in Hamilton. It's an exercise in several things: in using QuickTime's JPEG
compression to distribute a large collection of full-colour images; in
demonstrating an interactive version of "holiday snaps"; and as a blatant piece
of tourist promotion. :-)

I'm not sure how you'd classify it: should you put it with your HyperCard
stacks, or with your still images, or in your QuickTime section? Perhaps you
should put links to it from all those places.

Requires: HyperCard 2.1, QuickTime (any version), System 7. I haven't tested
it under System 6.0.7, but it may work.

Subject: Harold's Date qt part xaa of xaf

This is a quicktime animation, nearly a minute long. I created it
using Infini-D & Premiere.

This is the first bit of character animation I've attempted, and I'm
fairly pleased with it. It involves a digital fellows attempt at meeting
the ideal digital woman. It was created in Infini-D 2.5, using elements
imported from Photoshop & Illustrator. After the CG files were created,
everything was brought into Premiere, tightened up, and titles were
added (from Photoshop, again).

Someday, I hope to do this sort of stuff for a living, 'tho right now
I'm a lowly CS student at University Nevada, Reno (Hear that, Misters
Lucas, Cameron or Kristoff - Hire me now and avoid the rush!)

Anyway, hope you like the file. It was fun to do.

This is a QuickTime 1.5 compact video format moovie of Hunter S. Thompson
blowing up a poster of Jan Wenner, founder and publisher of Rolling Stone
magazine.  Enjoy!

I did not use compact pro or stuffit on it.  It is just bin-hexed.  My
experience is that when you compress video with the compact video format -
standard compression software will not compress it further - so there's
really no point to it.

This QuickTime movie shows four jet planes flying in formation via a camera

From: [e-mail] (Andy J. Williams)
Subject: QuickTime Morphing Example

Included is a silly little movie I put together when Morph arrived. It is a
good example of what Gryphon's Morph can do. The movie was created using
video camera grabbed snapshots which were cleaned up in Photoshop, imported
into Morph and then finally into Adobe Premier 2.0.

I welcome any feedback! Also, if anyone has any ideas for other little
films to make, let me know!

File is a 590k DiskDoubler SEA which expands to 794k.
The film is 21 seconds long and would really prefer 16bit color (or more)
but looks OK at 8bit.

RTrace-Fly-Thru.movie

  NOTE:  QuickTime-1.5 is required to play back this movie.
            It was created with the new "Compact Video" compressor using
            the "high quality" setting.

  This animation was created by a new freeware photorealistic rendering
  and animation application called "RTrace".  Full source code is included
  with the release.

  RTrace was written by Antonio Costa at INESC-Norte in Portugal.  The
  MacIntosh version was written by Greg Ferrar at Ohio State and myself
  (Reid Judd at Illuminati).

  RTrace supports these capabilities:
    point lights, directional lights, spot lights with fall-off, extended
    lights, 2 ways of defining surfaces, spheres, axis-aligned
    parallelipipeds, cylinders, cones, bicubic patches, polygons,
    polygonal patches, high quality 3D text, CSG operations,
    4x4 matrix transformations, textures, depth of field, diffuse
    distribution, stereoscopic pair creation, ...

    Procedural textures (with 4x4 matrix transformations) are also
    supported: checkerboard, color blotches, marble, bump map,
    fractal-brownian-motion, wood, glossy, image mapping, waves,
    and many others.

  Mac-RTrace uses parametric equations (using an algebraic equation
  parser) to define animations and it outputs PICT images, PPM images,
  and (of course) QuickTime movies.

  Enjoy,

Subject: rtrace-movies.hqx


    These quicktime movies were created using RTrace1.0,
by Antonio Costa, Reid Judd, and Greg Farrar.  The "demo"
movie was created using the demo scene that comes with RTrace.
The eye moves around the scene in a circular path of radius 25,
at a height of 25 over the scene.  Both 8 bit and 24 bit movies
are included, each at 15 frames per sec.  It took about 3 hours
to generate all 150 frames needed on a IIfx.  Note: all
included movies require at least Quicktime 1.5.

    The "swoop" movies used a scene file that I set up after
learning how to write the scene info in the .sff
format (simple file format).  A quick how-to is provided
in the RTrace documentation.  Also 150 images, these movies
use parametric equations to describe the eye motion.
Included again are 8 bit and 24 bit versions.

The "4 balls" are the same scene as in "swoop", but
the movie is a series of frames in simple circular
rotation over the scene, similar to "demo".

If anyone else out there has produced similar
movies, I'd love to check them out.
Please contact me at [e-mail]
Enjoy!

Abbey is a short, tiny animation, showing a look around a ruined abbey.

The scene was rendered using RTrace's abbey scene, cleaned up in Photoshop, and
animated using the stack facility on NIH Image. It was then converted to a
QuickTime movie using Movie Converter.

The animation is short and small because I'm using a stock IIsi. Kind of slow.
As I may have a bit more time on my hands, I may try some more ambitious
animations. Stay posted!

Source code for the RTrace scene is included should you want to mess around with
it.

Here's a very fine QuickTime animation of a space probe (Voyager?  Not too

Saturn.  You'll see the probe fly through the plane of the planet's rings
and rapidly withdraw, leaving the gas giant and its bevy of circling moons
far behind.

Appropriately for deep space, this 800k movie has no sound, unlike most sci-

    A Quicktime movie showing the rotation of the Sun's 1-million
degree+ corona (outer atmosphere), using one image per day for the
first five months of 1993. The images were obtained by the
U.S./Japanese Soft X-ray Telescope (SXT) on the Japanese Yohkoh
("sunbeam") spacecraft.

    This file is a self-extracting, StuffIt-Lite compressed archive,
BinHex-encoded with BinHqx 1.02 (because trying to BinHex encode
anything in StuffIt Lite 3.07 crashes StuffIt Lite 3.07). The actual
Quicktime movie is 2.2 Mbyte in length.

     Since the data used to assemble this movie are in the public domain
through the generosity of the Yohkoh science team, this movie may only
be included on the commercially available info-mac CD-ROM if it is made
explicitly clear that there are no restrictions on the copying or
distribution of the movie.

Subject: Text track sample movies (pt 1 of 9)

In the Infomac Digest V11 #210, Gordon Werner ([e-mail]) gave us all
a valuable tip on how we could at last get at that text track capability
that's been lurking in QuickTime since version 1.5.  Inspired by his
suggestion, I set about adding text tracks to two movies I'd made a few
days earlier, and I now submit these as examples of how you can use text
frames and subtitles.

The video sections of both movies are Cinepak-compressed, so you should
have 16-bit colour or better, or else use 256 greyscales.  I've also
included some documentation giving my own recipe for creating text tracks
with Movie Player and listing some pitfalls I encountered.  For the text
tracks and my documentation to display properly, you should have the
TrueType versions of Geneva and New York installed.

I don't claim these movies to be models of thespian prowess or cinematic
technique - all they are is me and a friend messing about in someone's
office actually - but I do hope they inspire you to get started with text
tracks yourself.  I realise this is a rather large submission for what it
is, and will probably only be downloaded by those with fast and cheap net
access, so I'll make my documentation available separately if you write me.

PS: Apologies to Gordon Werner - in my documentation I stupidly forgot to
delete the words "sorry I don't know your real name".

The following file entitled "1604.sea.hqx" is a QuickTime movie for the

1604.sea.hqx

1604.moov is a short QuickTime movie recorded & edited within hours of Pat
getting his Video Bigot... ahem... Video Spigot nubus card for his Mac IIvx. It
was created in the highly sought after style of incoherency combined with manic
hysteria.

The initial editing was done in Adobe Premiere 2.0 on a Mac IIvx, and the final
edited version was output using Adobe Premiere 3.0 on a Mac Centris 650. Special
effects include Chroma Keying, disolves, fades, Wet-Wipes, superimposed animated
titles, and having to push a large plastic starship in front of the camera.

MovieShop V1.0b24 (!) was then used to create a compressed stand-alone QuickTime
movie which can be played using Apple's MoviePlayer application (or imported
into your favorite word processing package to annoy other people).

*****There are several highly philosphical messages contained in the movie, most
of which will not be understood unless you have read every single message ever
posted on the Internet, in every single news group for the past millenium (we
haven't done this so most of it either came to us by osmosis or went right over
the tops of our heads).*****

Suffice to say, this small insignificant & irreverent contribution has
absolutely nothing to do with any of the following: Beavis & Butthead - Mackie
Designs - Multimedia (in general) - Neil Armstrong - Star Trek - NTSC - Anyone
who owns a Camcorder, or a Mackie 1604 mixer, or a Macintosh, or makes stupid
plastic spaceship models...

You will also be pleased to know that we compressed the movie down to just 1 Meg
so y'all can enjoy it. If you complain I'll upload all 350 gigabytes of it (Just
kidding!).

Moderators,

Enclosed please find a Quicktime movie from the classic British TV series "The
Prisoner" which starred Patrick McGoohan. I'd be grateful if you could put
this on your archive.

It is not a proper movie as I don't have the equipment to capture video, but a
series of PICTS starting with the thunderous sky through to the view  Number 6
sees from his window after waking from his drugged sleep. The  soundtrack is
the opening dialogue between Leo McKern (as No. 2) and No. 6  (Where am I? In
the Village etc.) with a smattering of theme music in there too. I haven't had
much time to work on it so it is a bit rough around the edges, but it still
looks quite good. It is 55 seconds long and about 900k. This will be of
particular interest for Prisoner fans. If you haven't seen The Prisoner
before, look out for it - it's a Masterpiece.

  third.qtm --- a QuickTime animated IFS fractal

 As the parameters in an iterated function system are changed,
 the resulting attractor changes (continuously).  Here is an
 example of that, based on two non-commuting affine
 transformations:

   (T1)    x' =  (1/3) x + (1/3) y
           y' =            (1/3) y

   (T2)    x' =  (1/3) x           + e
           y' =  (1/3) x + (1/3) y + f

 We watch what happens as the point (e,f) moves around a circle.
 [ref: Suppl. Rend. Circ. Mat. Palermo 28 (1992) p. 350.]

 The individual frames were computed by "Fractal Attraction"
 (Academic Press), then made into a movie with Apple's QuickTime
 software.  This file is "flattened, data fork only", so it will
 be possible (Real Soon Now) to view it on platforms other
 than Mac.

The file that follows is entitled "T_Dolby.sea.hqx" and should replace any

It is a better version, and
takes up less space.The included Read-Me is pretty self explanatory and goes
like this:

"This QuickTime movie is footage of the last few moments of Thomas Dolby's set
at the Electronic Cafe in Santa Monica on 11/18/93, as part of an Interactive
TV Demo to demonstrate multi-site interactive performances.

This was a live simultaneous event that ran not only at the Electronic Cafe in
Santa Monica, but also at the Lodge in the Viacom building in New York, with
interactive participation from Viacom, MTV, Nickolodeon, MTV Latino, and MTV
Europe. Video conferencing equipment was on hand to enable guests at each site
to talk and interact with each other.

In the not-to-distant future, the bandwidth and technology will exist to enable
two-way video between your home and the global community. What will you do with
it?"
