(Doco) Amiga: The Quantum Leap (1.3) - Building the Amiga
120Having got the team together, The Amiga designers set to work building their super computer, and developing The Boing Ball demo. Having put a lot of money into the Atari peripheral and games market, the market then crashes, leaving the company to rely on Atari for the funds to continue. But Atari wants to ruin Amiga Corp, so they sign a deal with Commodore at the last moment instead, and they give Atari their money back. When Jack Tramiel arrives, they combine some Z8000 elements with many Amiga design ideas, as the basis to build a new machine - the Atari 520ST computer.
Production Notes:
As usual, there is too much to write here for such a long project. Film 1.4 is behind schedule by a few days, so I'm going to spend my time with that and hopefully catch up. I've spent all of today (30th) on the subtitles, and hopefully they are now good to play for everyone from release day. I thought I had done a perfect job on this, but the audio has so many clicks and cuts, and it still sounds like Im shouting, even though it plays fine for me on my TV, so I dont know whats going on there. I made the music a bit louder again, as I want the audience to be able to hear both. At one point the music fades to nothing, and this is because the ending of one of the songs trails out for a long time and becomes inaudible after the ducking. I can hear the music on my sample renders, but in the final render I hear nothing.
Bugs:
38:53: - I say Atari's Famous 1984 Commercial when its Apple. (thanks Mark)
53:44 - I say "Commodore Amiga" before Commodore actually bought Amiga. I found this only two hours ago, with no time to spend days on this to fix this fundamental error, of couse I feel very bad about this.
Note: There were 153 "D" machines released (I say "over 100" in the show, but its right in the subs). A fan of my channel wrote in and told me this info two years back, but I forgot about it. I was reminded of this info this week but too late to include it in the show!
