- The High Spot Funky Dancer
-
- © Iain B. McCaffrey 1994.
-
- For those interested, the idea for The High Spot Funky Dancer came to me
- from nowhere whilst writing an essay. I don`t remember what it was about
- but it was probably not one of my best, after all, if things like that come
- into your head it can`t be the most enthraling of subjects to discuss in a
- minimum of 5000 words.
-
- I made this on a 2 Meg A500 Plus. Pencil drawings were digitised with
- Vidi Amiga 12, cleaned up in DeluxePaint IV and assembled in MovieSetter.
- It requires 2 Megs to run, I think, and takes about 4 minutes to load.
- After all the wait, it lasts about 1 minute fifty seconds.
-
- I have had some problems with booting this on a WB 1.3 A500 and the A1200.
- It may just have been memory problems with all the peripherals that were
- attached, they weren`t my machines so I couldn`t fiddle about too much, but
- it works fine on a WB 2.0 A500 Plus and therefore I would guess on an A600.
- If you have a 1.3 A500 or an A1200 and it won`t load from booting use the
- workbench option on the disk (which I suppose you probably already have,
- else you wouldn`t be reading this) and double-click on the animation`s
- icon. It should now work okay.
-
- You may notice, or may have already noticed, that the date at the end of
- the animation is 1993 not 1994, as it is at the top of this page. This is
- not some incompetent typing error, it`s just that the animation was
- finished late 1993 but sat gathering dust for a month or so before I wrote
- this and sent it off. A small point I know, but I just felt like pointing
- it out.
-
- If you like this, I have three other animations available, which are, in
- chronological order:
-
- Peril 1992
- LemmingsBench 1992/3
- The Teapot and The Anglepoise Lamp 1993
-
- These are all available from:
-
- NBS
- 1 Chain Lane
- Newport
- Isle of Wight
- PO30 5QA
- ENGLAND
-
- These animations are freely distributable but they remain Copyright 1992/3
- Iain B. McCaffrey. The disks and their contents MUST NOT be changed or
- altered in ANY WAY whatsoever.
-
- If anybody wants to write to me with comments, constructive or not, or
- about anything in the employment line, I would love to hear from you.

- P.S.
-
- The `Coming Soon' file on the disk is a brief sample (it couldn`t be more
- brief than just a still quarter size picture) of my next animation, well
- probably my next animation, logistics and inclination will be the deciding
- factors. The main reason I include it is because there was 20K or so left
- on the disk and I thought I might as well fill it, value for money etc. you
- know.
