Hello all Amiga enthusiasts,

This animation was created in order to test out the program  'CartoonStudio'  by
Marco Vigelius that was featured on Amiga Format CD 4 which allows sound samples
to be easily assigned to any frame in an animation. I was so  impressed with  it
that I immediately sent off my registration fee to Marco in The  Netherlands and
within  a  week  had received  the latest version - and a nice letter! 

Okay,  so Marco  admits it's slow to use in some parts but for £5 it's a bargain
and I'm no programmer so  not in a position to criticise! The new version allows
Hi Res animations in 16 colours to be loaded whereas the CD version only allowed
the use of Low Res anims in 32 colours.  However, the lack of colours is made up
for by the fact that you can now use no less than 50  different  colour palettes
within an animation!

You  may  have  noticed  that  there  are  two  'Bee' animations featured here.
'BeeAnim' is the short original animation that I did for a  laugh when  I first
tested out my Vidi Amiga digitiser  a  couple  of  years ago.  I never expected
anyone else to ever see it! 'BeeAnim32Col'is a much longer version of the above
that I created in order to try CartoonStudio's sound features.If you don't have
enough  memory  to  run  the  second  you  should be able to run the first. The
animation  runs  at only  7  frames  per second as I  thought this added to the
pixelated  (ie; animated live action ) technique.

The animation was done in Low Res using Brilliance2 and DPaint5  and drawn with
the mouse!  Most  of  the  sound effects  were  taken  from  the  Weird Science
'Sounds Terrific' CD  with additional  samples being obtained using TechnoSound
Turbo II. As previously mentioned, the live action stills were recorded using a
Vidi Amiga 12 digitiser and a video camera.

I hope you enjoy it!

Keep on animating. 


      All the best,

      Dale Hemenway.
