My dear friend Cliff Leckey produced this animation on Deluxe Paint IV using
WinUAE on a Windows Vista PC.
When I first met Cliff and his wife Jean in the early 2000s, we discovered we
both had a love for Amiga computers, depiste the popularity of Windows PCs at
the time. We soon became great friends. Cliff had sold his motorbike and bought
an Amiga 1200, which he regularly used to create animations in Deluxe Paint,
recording them to VHS tape using a GenLock. Often he would use ClariSSA to
produce titles for his various holiday videos.
I was regularly called on when he had a problem with his Amiga. I called on him
too when I had a problem with my motorbike! Eventually he got a PC, and the
Amiga was moved up to the loft. But he still loved to work on the emulator,
which of course enabled him to produce animations at a far faster rate than he
ever did with his 1200.
Cliff's last video he produced was the JetAnim, which I uploaded to Aminet
shortly before he died. Cliff used the emulator to transfer his animations to a
PC format, and then used sound recording software to add sound effects and
dialogue to his animations.
These are the animations Cliff made of the six days of Creation. He added music
and narration from the book of Genesis to it on his PC. This can be viewed on my
YouTube channel (@FreshOffTheStack). He has also produced another Bible
animations, entitled, How Much Do You Know? I still have this on the computer,
but only in FLV format. I do not have access to the original animation files.
