Amiga Music Videos Day 2

A full day animating the 40-or-so Amiga music videos. The first half of the day was customising the FFMpeg scripts and YouTube text. I've added quite a lot of interesting facts about each game, information that only I can supply. I could make this text a series of captions on the videos, as this is the sort of information that appears over music videos on pop-music shows.

The animation part consists of a series of variations on a standard scene of spinning cube, the faces textures with an image of the Amiga title screen, bordered by a second 'neon' cube, and various backgrounds. These have taken until 20:00 and could be called complete in a first draft, though I'm bound to want more changes. Many of these tunes were designed to loop, and thus end suddenly. I've decided to fade them out.
