i created this logo on a 30 years old hard- and software. Quantel Paintbox was famous in tv-graphics beginning 1981, long before photoshop. now i used a system from mid 90s to create this artwork. Music by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio
Very cool. That feeling when in the 80s the graphics were better, more beautiful and of higher quality than modern faceless graphics in a simplified minimalist style.
Nice seeing something being done in the old interface. I acquired the very first model for our studio back in the day, maybe around '82. Last one I used was the V-Series. After that it was all SGI hardware. You could do so much more on these machines, and even faster. 👍
hey, schön von dir zu lesen, schon als schüler war mir eure firma auf grund solcher berichte ein begriff. ich hatte auch mal ein paar eurer filialen angerufen, ob bei euch noch equipment schlummert. haste einen tipp für mich? und wenn du selbst mal wieder an einer paintbox/hal arbeiten möchtest - bist du gerne bei mir in köln eingeladen! ;)
I know nothing about this hardware but if it has blur and gradient mapping you can do that metallic effect easier. Texture Labs RU-vid channel has a video on the concept for Photoshop but the basic principle is the same.
How long did this take to construct in realtime? There are lots of high-speed demos like this on YT, but it has been almost 50 years since I remember standing around the Quantel booth at the SMPTE show watching someone use a Paintbox.
hello, thanks for the question. i think it took a few hours to make. and i didn't like everything i created right away, so I cut something out... did you ever had the chance to work on a paintbox yourself?
hey. thanks for your interest. this is made on a 30 years old specialized computer. the software comes together with the hardware. there is no software-only version. on my channel you can find some more videos about the system and tutorials from the company quantel, who created the paintbox.
i could save it on an MO-disc as vpb, or somehow over the netcom card to my network. but i always use sdi in- and output between HAL and my mac with a blackmagic card.
