Man, you hit the nail squarely on its head!

And indeed a competition would be grandiose!

Now, to get practical:

-- should there be catagories?
like slapstick, office, serious, sf, just to sum up a few that spring to mind

-- should there be a selection / an election of scripts?

-- would AW.net host the fruits of our endeavour?

Man, this could be the best fun we had in years!

I used to love that Ad. When I get a CD32 they used to unclude it on some of the cover CD's.

Is it true if Commodore sold a couple of thousand more CD32's they would have survived?

Not bad, except we don't usually say "workbench" any more. Rather "AmigaOS!".

Commodore tried that with the CD32, which failed. That doesn't necessarily mean we can't use it again though.


exactly that is where i got it from. i just like that slogan
btw the cd32 did not fail they were not able to launch it in the us before going bankrupt.

Yes. IIRC, the CD32 was to have a 3D chip, but it wasn't ready in time.

The CD32 may have been the first 32-bit console, but it lost out to the Playstation. The CD32 was just an A1200 with a lousy 2x CD drive, 2MB RAM, '020 processor and no keyboard.

Could be tricky, if you're serious, and you expect people to use ordinary video cameras?

Were you expecting scrolling credits by means of a rolling toilet roll?

@RoqueFort

You're not very imaginative, are you?

If the raw footage is 1: good enough and 2: available, there's no need for the entry into such a competition to have professional editing and/or overlay. All of that can be done by professionals later on, from the raw footage. And it had better be, because in 100% of the cases I've seen, it takes a bit more than good will to get timing right. In a commercial, timing is everything. If the scene or angle transitions are too fast or too slow, people will take an instant dislike to it.

So an entry in the competition could consist of raw footage (video or animation), a simple version that tells the tale and shows the idea, and possibly some instructions as to how the final version should be edited or overlayed.

In one of MY lines of work (software), this is called prototyping. The prototype shows the idea and the functionality, it doesn't necessary IMPLEMENT the idea or the functionality. And it most certainly doesn't have the final graphical design.

And really, do you see scrolling credits in commercials very often?

That was just an example.

I don't know what quality of footage would qualify for broadcast, but camcorders are affordable these days. So yes, get to work with raw footage and send it to The_editor so he can make something good out of it.

I could make an animated Amiga advert with my character Arry, who IMO would make a good Amiga mascot. It could feature either of my two slogans I put up at the beginning of this thread.

Motivation to do this though, would be very hard to find. I'm already working on my MCoC animation in between bouts of playing Jetstrike!

Dutch Reformed Church is a decendant from the schism that took place 100's of years ago (the 16th century) when Martin (Maarten) Luther had nailed his 95 theses to the doors of a church somewhere in Germany. Zwingli was a Swiss wih simmilar ideas and last but not least Johannes Calvijn (Frenchman Jean Caulvin) had an even more pressing saying into it. The latter came over to The Netherlands and got foothold in the parts of the country close to the water edge (where life was more difficult). In good Dutch tradition there are now numerous variants of the Reformed Churh one more oppressing then the other. The general idea in their enlightened way of thinking is: When you have fun, then you are a sinner! They tend to have rather large families by the way.
Music was fun. Still *IS* fun. But the Reformed Church said it was a sin to make music for having fun and dancing (an even greater sin!). So we are left without any kind of music with a regional bearing, say folk music like Ireland and Scotland. The only musical instrument that survived en masse was the church organ.

Keywords are sobriety, devotion, humillity and simplism in every aspect of life.

Glad that I'm brought up the Roman Catholic way!

Well maybe I should edit my previous messages and add some smileys there. (I have that certain type of imagination.)

when the cd32 came out the only real competition was the sega cd/genesis. the playstation wasn't even here when commodore folded. so technically there was no competition in the 32 bit market. sega and nintendo then skipped the 32 bit market and went 64 bit. not sure if the playstation was 32 or 64 bit tho.

@all

Many many years ago when the strongest Amiga hardware was a CyberstormPPC
I had my own slogan:

"Close your WINDOWS before the CyberStorm comes..."

Quite cool I think but outdated : O )

I think the Playstation 1 was 32-Bit. The CD32 was the first 32-bit console, but the Playstation became THE 32-bit console.

If Commodore went bankrupt BEFORE the PS1 took over, then that's even worse! No real competition and still they lost it?

@RoqueFort

Exactly right !!

Gross mismanagement.

The CD32 was actually pretty advanced for its time. And 2x Cdrom was blisteringly fast too.
It also sported Akiko and FMV modules could be plugged in.

Desktop powerhouses had their worked cut out to do that stuff.

YES, Commodore shoulda cleaned up... The only bright spell out of their ineptitude was when some Marketting Guru ( Commodore did have some, believe it or not) hired the giant billboard outside Segas UK Headquarters and did a brilliant pisstake of the Sega slogan.

btw .. There are still people after the FMV modules for their cd32's .. Right Chromozone !!
