The computer generated graphics are cracking stuff, much nicer to look at than early 90's style CGI
Having been a teenager in the 80s thankfully we've come a long way... Programming was a task back in the days. Happy times, yet frustrating indeed!!!
Programming was a task when you wrote this comment! :) Now there's AI to create programs, even movies for us. How things have changed in just a few years...
Today the intro music would be a massive hit
sounds like something that came out in 2020.
Kevin Macleod type music
Obviously not music from 1984 ... ua-cam.com/video/9X7dTCG1c4Q/v-deo.html
awesome, thanks to share! I am not born at this decade! but a like see how and who build and did the things on that generation! :)
That rig sounded like a jet taking off.
For anybody wondering, the audio keeps dropping out on left/right channels all the way through. It isn't that your headphones are broken ;)
Wow! Nowadays, this can all be done on 1 cellphone. There's a UA-camr who films Vietnam on his cellphone and uses his app to edit his videos while he's on the bus to work.
"Opening music supplied by the youtube free music scheme - Stoker - Jingle punks" so disappointed that is not original.
how innocent we were
These people are gods....
With the budget that they used for such a harmless 30 second clip in the 80s, you can shoot a Hollywood Sci Fi blockbuster today. 😁😂
After Effects, Cinema 4D.. heck the graphics tablet/pen are taken for granted today.
i need more videos that explain what's happening at 4:00 with the "3D" scanner or what
It's a digitiser. You don't see them much anymore, like you don't see plotters anymore. Shame, because they're cool.
The digitiser has a big flat bed like a draughtsman's drawing board. On it you can place any artwork. The device he holds is a puck. The puck works a little bit like a mouse except it's absolute rather than relative motion so it always knows it's 2D coordinates and it doesn't matter how you hold it as you move it around. You can turn it, lift it, whatever, and as soon as you drop it on the bed it knows where it is. It's achieved by electromagnetic detectors under the bed. It also means the crosshair at the centre is always the coordinates it takes so you can see exactly which point it will record.
You record data by moving the puck around and clicking to sample a 2D point. A little bit like a line drawing tool in a paint program you can click series of interconnected points to make objects like lines and squares.
In this case it's likely the work being digitised was hand drawn by a draughtsman with a drawing board, pens and geometry equipment so we are looking at the manual stage to get the line drawing into the computer. We are looking at a date when most design offices couldn't afford CAD, or didn't see the point as they will have had men doing the drawing work with pens and drawing boards.
@@cloerenjackson3699 Thanks for the answer! very interesting, did you use this tech back then? looks cool indeed
I remember seeing digitisation pucks used on a CAD system in the mid to late 1980s. It looked like something out of Star Trek back then. It’s amazing to think that the equipment they were using would have cost tens of thousands of £s, but today, far more sophisticated and accurate kit would cost just a few thousand. I’ve got more sophisticated equipment in my ‘spares cupboard’ at home!
Those monitors are hightech
That intro music doesn't sound like anything from the 80s or even the 90s or even the early 2000s
Now what part of my iPad is the "motherboard" ??
Dan Shelton - The bit that the components are attached to with the printed circuits on it.
Do i have to pay ads, intens in some video, with my data?
They have to pay, not me.
