RENDERER USED: Art of Illusion 2.3.1 TOOLS USED: Art of Illusion, MainActor CREATION TIME: evenings for 2 or 3 weeks HARDWARE USED: Linux, Windows, and Mac PCs VIEWING RECOMMENDATIONS: (includes audio) Quicktime, Windows Media Player, and Java Media Studio all seem to work ANIMATION DESCRIPTION: An investigative journalist (or maybe an industrial spy) has penetrated the top-secret research facility of a well-known text adventure company in search of a revolutionary user interface technology. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS ANIMATION WAS CREATED: The first half of the animation is just a simple moving camera fly through. In the second half, Art of Illusion's "gestures" feature is a natural fit for the fingerspelling sequence. Thanks to Matt Nohr for the use of his Keyboard model!
