Imaginary Amiga ad #1
Three passes of some gooey Mac chassis, with triumphant camera angles
and high contrast shadows cast by two point source lights against a
backlit panorama of low hue photographs of apple crates which say
"mackintosh" on the sides.
Round about the middle of the second pass, you notice a blister and
smoke rising from one side. As the camera keeps rotating around, you see
a strong lazer burning a huge hole in from the other side. With some
expensive transgressional warp, the camera chases over the beam of the
lazer to an Amiga and the source, with a moving quote of "Since you saw
your first lazer show at an amusement park you have seen what only the
Amiga can do." read by some smoker-voice talent. Camera dips into the beam
and flash cuts to a digitally generated "sea" of IBM PC-compatibles
undulating calmly. After a few oscillations, the sea is torn through
perpendicularly by a rocket, blurring the scene with a "heat wave"
visual effect.
In blackness, that same cancer-victim voice talent says "For 35 years
there has been a cesspool of mediocrity in the world of personal
computers. Fortunately for you, the universe is a very big place." At
this point, a well-rendered starfield has been faded in slowly. The
camera moves, banking to an angle perpendicular and up from the current
view-point. It follows this current direction and accelerates fast enough
to turn the stars into rainbow lines (ala star Trek and laws of physics)
with a triumphant musical arrangement lasting only a few seconds, the warp
effect stops at a large black sphere blocking all but the outermost stars
in view. The sphere rotates and light is cast upon a planetary boing
ball.
Words are overlayed:
"Amiga"
"You can join us."
"Be Free."
"1(800) be-amiga"
