Well, I imagine that you've already seen the animation by now. What did you think? Was it worth the loading time or not?
The inspiration to create the animation came from some Eric Swartz demos someone showed me last year. This demo was supposed to be in the same cartoon style but it didn't turn out to be cartoony at all!
The demo was initiated on the first day of December 92 and was completed early 93. I'm not sure how much memory you'll need to run it, but I can tell you that it doesn't run on a 1meg A500 and it does work on a 5meg A3000!
Speaking of A3000, if you view this animation from a machine running at a speed higher than 7.14 Mhz, then it will run faster than was originally intended. It still looks alright though.
All the graphics for "SHHHH" were created on a 1meg A500 using Deluxe Paint IV using only 8 colours (hence the rough shading). Only 8 colours were used because I thought that it would speed up the animation but I didn't realize that MovieSetter always operates in 32 colour mode. I admit that the graphics are a bit rough but I figured that in a hundred years, who's going to care? B^).
A big thanks goes to Adrian for the use of his A3000 for the final assembly and the sound effects. Audio Engineer was the sampler used for all the sound effects.
The combining of all graphics/animations and sound was done with MovieSetter (from CU Amiga's coverdisk). Good fun this bit (especially the sound effects) but MS could do with a severe upgrading.
