Display : PAL& Despite public domain software&being essentially free you can still&easily fall into the trap of expecting&it to always be on the cutting edge of&personal computers. But there's a host&of stuff being produced for what I&assume is the pure pleasure of being&creative. Don't overlook these just&because they're not the latest or&greatest thing seen on the Amiga. They&should be approached on their own&level and appreciated for what they&are - little productions created for
people just to enjoy.& Steve Hood would seem to be one of&these types of PD producers. Consider-&ing the number of animations of his in&PD catalogues it would appear he has&quite a high output. This is the only&one of his I've seen but going by it&he's quite a good animator and an
adequate but not great artist.& Dracula is his response to the&latest resurrection by Hollywood of&everybody's favourite teeth. I won't&give the story-line away but it's&essentially just a one joke cartoon.&Not a belly laugh but it should raise&a smile. It's quite long (40 seconds)&and is spread over four or five&scenes. Good use is made of sound and&the presentation is well done with
joky credits and such like.& Dracula's not on the cutting edge&by any means but it's still worth a&look. One to add to that video&compilation for keeping visiting kids
