Description
Just a rather shitty animation of a ZX going through a demo program.Will move to scraps later, perhaps. Too much jerky animation.
edit: Moved back to emoticons for a bit o'critique searching =3

It's just beautiful !
I'm guessing it's a Spectrum 128k connected to the TV by SCART (or just composite).
You really captured the Leader and Data pulserasters (if you can call them like that) very well.

ahaha, this was ages ago so i forget. i reckon with such flagrant graphics at the end it'd have to be a 128k 8D
cheers. i love capturing the little bits of detail, tis what really makes the nostalgia work :3

x3
I just hand crafted the frames using GIMP. Saved each one as a PNG, then loaded them all into one xcf (GIMP) file and ran it through the optimize plugin.
I then used Microsoft GIF Animator (an ancient, freeware and lightweight tool) to fine tune the speeds. Ta-da!

Hmm I might have to look up that Microsoft Animator. Im a big Jasc Animation Shop fan but they say it doesnt work on Vista (which Im positive I have used it on Vista.. but eh), my trial expired, and I dont wanna spend $40 if it "may not work." Lamesauce.
I tried gimp WAY back in the day before I got into PSP. I havent downloaded it again to plawith it.. re-learning programs is not fun for this kitty.
Thanks <3
