I found this little gem in the article "Amiga In Video" in the September 1988 issue of "Commodore" magazine (a C64/128/Amiga mag): > Mike Medwid, Animated Presentation Graphics: > > I did a job for Apple, actually the Engineering group needed a > last-minute presentation put together for their board of directors. > So I used _Video_Titler_ and _DeluxeVideo_ on the Amiga, and put a > little animation together so that they could show off the Macintosh > to Apple's board of directors. The article contains short interviews with various video professionals, explaining what they do with the Amiga and what they like and dislike about it. Also, in this month's _AmigaWorld_ is an article describing video effects you can pull off with a camera, VCR, genlock, and Amiga, such as transporter effects and spaceship takeoffs/landings. There is also a picture of Rob Peck in an ad for an upcoming book he wrote about AmigaDOS, in case you were wondering what he looked like. --M Michael Portuesi / Information Technology Center / Carnegie Mellon University ARPA/UUCP: mp1u+@andrew.cmu.edu BITNET: rainwalker@drycas "if you ain't ill it'll fix your car"

As many of you have seen it (unless you have just defected from a country behind the iron curtain), Moonwalker by Michael Jackson is out. So around the time of its release, Entertainment Tonight went to see the guy behind one of the special effects and asked him how he did it. (the effect was the one where MJ's face turns from flesh to robotic face.) while talking in his studio, in plain sight among his electronic equipment , was clearly an amiga computer (dont' remember which model though).
