#TV Commercials
14 messages in this thread
Rumor has it (on the local bbs's) that the new Listerine commercials
where rendered with Amigas, namely Caligary 24. Does anyone know if this
is true? These are some awesome commercials! Any other current
commercials being made with Amiga?

Listerine commercials are not Amiga generated.
They are either Pixar or Wavefront (I can't remember which)

Pixar makesthe Listerine comercials.

I heard a rumor that the entire "I Love Lucy" series was done on tube-based
Honeywell computers and output to 4×5 sheet film an a per frame basis then the
4×5 transparencies were scanned (a tube scanner) by hand in Guatemala where
artists then copied the pictures one-by-one (no tube helped here) where they
were compiled into a really big phone book like library and then finally
someone with a lot of manual dexterity flipped through the pages on live TV
every time the series aired.
Is there any truth to this?
That is absolutely true. Although it wasn't Guatamala, it was Hong Kong.

So I guess I was misled. Darn.
Ok I'm jumping into this one kinda late, I don't have the original
message, I can see that the message was about TV commercials…. and I
notice you mentioning Hong Kong…. maybe I can help clear it up for
you… after all I live there 😉

Greetings,
"I love Lucy" was processed in Hong Kong ? Bang zoom to the MOON !
Tim you said you live in Hong Kong. Me too. It's hard to find Amiga Users in
Hong Kong. I have been working here in Hong Kong for almost a year. Do you
know of other Amiga Users in H.K. ?
Best Regards,

Hello !
You have a had time finding them ! I know what you feel like but have I
got good news for you 🙂
By the way folks the normal way of finding Amiga users in Hong Kong is
to see who's reading the Amiga Magazines at the newstand 😉
Anyway as I was saying, call the following number 6512194 – this is
the number for the Amiga Zone BBS, it is a seven line DLG board, run
by a good friend of mine Sean Clarke.
It is a Pay BBS, but is only $300 Hong Kong per year. But it is worth
every Penny, we have some great Teleconference sessions, he has about
40 online games, and carries alot of the local Echo's.
And yes there is quite a few Amiga Users on there, about 40 or so.
I'll no doubt be seeing you on the board in the near future (by the
way although it's a Pay BBS you can still have a good look round,
it's mainly your time that is restricted).
The Version of the story I heard had Gautamalen LLama's doing the work.
These were the same LLama's later Hired to do the Opening Credit;s of the
Holy Grail
Steve,
If you are talking about the Jungle Listerine commercials, I believe they
were done by (or with) Pixar/Renderman. They have that Renderman look all
over them.

while.
