We need several quality animations (5 to 10 seconds in length @ 30 frames per second) to appear in a project we are working on. We need the actual 24 bit frames used to create the anim not an Amiga displayable version. We will pay for the ones we use. Cyclical anims (loops) are especially desired. To be considered, send us an Amiga displayable version (ie something displayable with showanim for instance) as a teaser. We will select the ones we want and contract for the actual 24 bit-plane version. Anims can be of any subject, show us your best stuff! For more information, contact me at 608 273 6585 or electronically. pk

Do we get extra cash if the animation includes the ASDG logo? How much are you paying? Is this for advertising material?

We are not looking to commission new work…we are looking for work which was already done. These anims will be used in the production of video tapes. Price to be negotiated on an individual basis. We don't care about subject matter…we're looking for an emphasis on professionalism and smoothness of animation. pk

is this Perry Kivolowitz of ASDG? I heard a rumour of a Art Dept Pro like prg for anims coming from ya'll.Any truth to this? Thanx BTW Do you have a minimum length Requirement for the anims ya need? I HAVE Ton's done but most are 90 or less frames tho my entry into a recent Animation Contest was 2 and a half minutes. Please E mail me Details .Also do you Prefer Disk Based Anims so you can go First Generation or do you prefer VideoTaped anims? 24 Bit or HAM?Thanx Midgard Graphics, Creators of Quality Animation

Yep, tis me. I can't comment about unannounced or even unhinted at products. The length of anims we're looking for is 5 seconds. Send us an Amiga displayable version as a preview (teaser). If we're interested, we'll contract for a 24 bit version. We will be using this here brand new optical disk recorder for our single frame work. pk

OOOOOOOOOHHHH, a new toy for Christmas? Optical Video disc recorder? Pioneer? Panasonic? I saw some of these at NAB last Spring. All I could do was drool as they are WAY out of my range. Maybe I will send an Anim to you. Would you like a quick Anim5 format version and a few 24bit frames to do an evaluation? I kinda thought the HDTV disc recorder(Pioneer) was the way to go but NTSC will have to do for mere mortals. Do you have streaming tape? No doubt yo do, but what format could you accept? Syquest44 carts OK? ….Mark 74335,1677

We have streaming tape…BRU format is best for us. We purchased the TQ3031F. pk

BRU? OK, I haven't tried it but I assume it will work. A TQ3031F, is that the Panasonic video WORM? ….Mark 74335,1677

Yes, it is. Designed for video.

perry = you folks might want to download Vapor paint, load the 1992.vee file and generate it. 90 frames, "any" format from Iff24, AMiga 4-plane B&W and HAM-E. Might be too much trouble, on the other hand.

could it be the Infamous Sony CRV?The one that uses recordable Laser Discs? which can be viewed on ANY LD player?5 seconds eh? are you working on 24 FPS or 30 fps? Thanx
#14357From: ASDGDec 30, 1991 12:46 AM
Yes, we are working with 24 bit-plane images, at 30 FPS. The deck we purchased was not a Sony. pk
