A very short clip from a 5 minute animated film created entirely
on Amigas and first broadcast on Central TV, England in October
1997. We wanted to prove the Amiga was still a force to be
reckoned with when it came to the production of 2D animation. I
think we succeeded in making the 'powers that be' at Central TV sit
up and take notice anyway.
We used quite a basic set up really. Two Amiga A1200s - one with
Blizzard 1230 / 50 meg RAM, the other with Blizzard 1260 / 34 meg RAM.
The animation was drawn on paper in pencil and scanned into the Amiga
to be compiled in Brilliance and DPaint V. AnimatED was used to check
the anims synched up to the roughly sampled soundtrack. MainActor
Broadcast was used to time and play the anims to broadcast quality tape.
This tape was then edited and the original DAT soundtrack married up
and sound effects and music dubbed on.
Both Amigas are now in Power Towers and graphics cards will be added
soon with a bit of luck. This will mean we won't have to worry so
much about how many colours we are using and if the animation will
play back at the required frame rate!

It would be great if there was a huge rise in Amiga created animations
reaching the TV screens!!
