BARNEYGAN" DeluxeVideo3 MiniMovie by BRUTAL INSTINCTS MULTIMEDIA IT BEGAN WITH A TWISTED DREAM.. Now, I dunno about most of you, but I personally dislike Barney The Dinosaur, and let's face facts: It isn't just that he's overly sugary and way too nice for our violent world: It's the frightening Machavellian control he seems to exude over our children. Me? I grew up with GODZILLA! So, it seemed only natural to me to have these two prehistoric creatures face off in a battle to the death. ABOUT THE MINIMOVIE The animations were rendered in 32 color Lo-Res in D-Paint (Electronic Arts), and assembled in Deluxe Video 3 (EA Agin), The small snippets of music were composed by Akira Ifukube, The man who gave Godzilla his own distinctive sound. All these labours of love were done on an A1200 (God, I LOVE THAT BLOODY MACHINE!) This, by the by, is my first project with glourious sound! And, you'd best believe, it won't be the last, either! FEW THANK U'S ARE IN ORDER: Primarily, My Beloved Wife, and Partner In Crime, Rossana, who graciously consented to provide Barney with a voice, and helped me piece the whole thing together. Love Ya, Babe! Also, quite a few of you folks on Delphi, who've expressed interest and amusement at some of our earlier efforts. You guys and gals are the best! The City and citizens of Tokyo, without whom Godzilla would have no forum to express his viewpoints. And finally, all those great folks everywhere who've fought the Barney Invasion Hammer and Tong. This video is for you! And now, Rossana will fill you in on the technical aspects of getting this thing to run on your computer. Thank you, and enjoy, E.G. Robertson, Co-Founder, B.I.M. * GODZILLA is a registered trademark of Toho Company, Ltd. * BARNEYGAN is not the real Barney, but an incredible simulation developed through the latest advancements in cloning technology. ;) --------------------------------------------------------------------- AND NOW FOR THE TECHNICAL STUFF... In order to run this movie you need at least 1MEG of CHIP RAM. I know that's a bummer to some users (it was to me) but it just squeaks past that 512K (and it's been edited and bumped down so it really was the best we could do). If you don't have 1Meg of Chip Ram, but want to see the movie anyway, the animations should be viewed in the following order: BARNATCK1 JETSQUADRON GEN.TAZAKI BARNATCK2 GARRIVAL GOJIANM1 GOJIFLAMER BARNEYBURNS ZILLASCORES ----------------------------------------------------- SETTING UP SHOP There are 2 files that make up this package, and they should be opened unto 2 disks named as follows (or the video won't work): Archive name Disk Name ------------------ ------------------------------ BarneyGan1.DMS GODZILLAVS.BARNEY BarneyGan2.DMS GODZILLAVS.BARNEY2 It is non-aga, so it will run on any system,but you need a 2 drives or a hard drive. To run it, place 1 disk in each drive, and open up the window of "GODZILLAVS.BARNEY". Double-click "GVB.video", and enjoy the show. HARD DRIVE USERS Edit the script file enclosed in this archive called "Assign-BarneyGan" to fit your own set up. For example, make a directory on your hard drive called "BarneyGan". Then open up both archives to this directory. In this case the assigns would be: assign GODZILLAVS.BARNEY: Sys:BarneyGan/ assign GODZILLAVS.BARNEY2: Sys:BarneyGan/ Set your default tool in the "Assign-BarneyGan" icon for "IconX" or "XIcon", whichever is your preference (default of XIcon). To run it: after editing and saving your "Assign-BarneyGan" script, double click its icon, then double click "GVB.video", and enjoy the show. NOTE*: It runs faster on a hard drive, and also faster the second time around (it loops). This is because the first time around it is loading all of the stuff, but the second time, most of it is in memory. FINAL STUFF We really hope you like this video as we worked on it relentlessly (even through the flu that smacked us both around :P ). Please let us know if you liked it or not, and leave any suggestions, comments, requests to me as "Rossana" at Delphi, or "rossana@delphi.com" on the Internet. I'll make sure to pass it along to Ed. Thanks for your patience and support. :) Rossana Robertson Co-Founder B.I.M. rossana@delphi.com or rossana@echonyc.com
