- Satan's National Park.
- -----------------------*
-
- This work, of a rather unusual name and theme, is the work of
- a good friend of mine, Joseph Norman. He is the graduate of a
- fine arts Univerity, that did not involve compter art, hence the
- "fresh feel"; The original ideas had to undergo *considerable*
- watering down and metamorphosis during discussions with myself;
- We were at the time limited to a 1meg A2000, and DPaint3, and
- neither of us had tried any animation before.
-
- (1) We definitely wanted to use digitized pictures as a
- backdrop to all the "action". We eventually had to
- limit the pictures to 6 grey levels, allowing two
- colours to be chosen at will (out of an 8-palette)
-
- (2) Joe's idea was originally of a "Roger Rabbit" type
- animation; This was before he discovered we would need
- 40 megs of mem for 5 minutes of such stuff!! Hence we
- ended up with something more like a storytelling-slideshow,
- than a real anim.
-
- *** AS SUCH IT MUST BE VIEWED AT QUITE A SLOW RATE!! **
- *** TRY <f7> - <f9> in VIEW **
-
- (3) I still do not understand all the symbolic ideas behind,
- this work, and so don't expect to either. Just enjoy!!
-
- This project has been quite a learning experience for me, and
- even more so for Joe, since he had to learn to grapple with mice,
- and Workbench, etc. It would be appreciated if you could let him
- or myself know of any comments, criticisms, hints or ideas.

-
- p.s. Thanks to Eric Schwartz, whose work gave us some ideas as to
- the possibilities (even if we could not implement them!!)
-
- p.p.s. I also had a bash at icon-making! It's quite good fun!
- (I used the p.d. IconMeister)
-
- p.p.p.s. I cannot imagine getting this far, without spending
- $$$$$$$ if we were doing this on an MS-DOG!!!
