#Video Toaster advice

Vance,
PMFJI, but who used the Toaster to cover the federal election?
Curious, in Toronto,
Barbara
Tele-Metropole Inc. of Montreal used the Toaster to cover the federal
elections. CFTM graphics producer, Michel Barreire, said that he used to
use Topaz all of the time, but now uses the Toaster because he says that
Lightwave 3D gives him a MORE profesional look in less time and effort.
They currently have 6 Toaster spread throughout the station, from an
off-line edit suite to the news department to the computer graphics
department.
They also use the Toaster on Jepardy, the French version of the U.S. game
show and on the Star D'un Soir variety show.
I had found this information in the January 1994 issue of Video Toaster
User magazine.

Flying high on Black Belt Systems' Imagemaster R/t!
More Magazine stats….. in the new issue of AV/Video they say that 58% of
their readers use Computer Controlled Editing goodies. Of those 42% use
Amiga Based machines, 29% or so use IBM/Clone based and 18% use MAC
based.
That's interesting, Vance.
Thanks for the information.

Vance,
you're right! As a contestant on french Jeopardy!, I vividly remember the
experience. Jeopardy! is the Zen of game shows: that huge wall of blue Sony
monitors is a sight to behold. One of my best memories of the show was walking
up to my podium for a light pen practice run before the taping, looking down at
the monitor on top of the podium, and thinking, "Hmmm… I know that font, it's
Topaz 8! And I know that arrow cursor! THIS IS AN AMIGA!!" I looked under the
podium and there it was, an Amiga 3000 purring away. I must say I felt a warm
fuzzy feeling, thinking that my faithful A3000 would be my companion for the
next half-hour.
Blaq!
