Title: The coincidence is too hard to ignore.
Post by: bikemadness on June 16, 2008

In reference to an old competition challenge: The scrollcomp.
Where some of the ideas resulted in letters falling and stopping or bouncing to a stop.
Not long afterwards, a couple of New Zealand commercials used the same techniques.
Now I'm seeing them all the time, in all types of advertisements.

Yeah. I think there should be a lot of more copper-bars, cubes, scrollers
and plasmas in TV ;-)

If you knew how many old-school coders are behind these TV commercial effects... And remember, the Amiga started as a video machine first!

After an IM conversation with Stormbringer, I really and truely had my eyes open on this... There's loads of old school effects released as plug ins for high end graphics rendering systems.
