Event: World of Commodore - Video greetings from Babylon 5 actors
At the beginning of the month, this year's "World of Commodore" took place in Toronto, Canada. At this event, two of the Babylon 5 main actors, Bruce Boxleitner ("John Sheridan", video) und Claudia Christian ("Susan Ivanova", video), sent video messages in which they talked about their impressions of the computer technology of the time.
As we know, Amigas were used back then - thirty years ago - in contrast to the use of models, which was still common at the time. The visual effects for the Babylon 5 pilot were created by a studio called Foundation Imaging, founded by Ron Thornton and Paul Beigle-Bryant, which used a series of Commodore Amiga computers and NewTek video toaster technology. For its work on the pilot, Foundation Imaging won the 1993 Emmy Award for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Special Visual Effects. (snx)
