With all respect, but those computers were bit other, and except 16bit sound & DSP later in Falcon, from the basic construction sense, it wasn't big rival to Amiga. Hence it was made by the same guy, who created mighty Atari XL/XE, which in sense of logic of construction was quite similar to Amiga (but somehow it's potential wasn't fully used by game companies, now You can see Doom on 8-bit Atari :) ) R.I.P.

I would have donated $300 towards your goal of making this video but i lost my job at the start of the year and have had trouble securing full time employment since. I hope you get it finished! :)
I have been saying for so many years that the Amiga needed a documentary because it has NEVER been given the credit it deserves after all these years, nor have all the designers that were part of it's original inception and thereafter. Speak to ANY person out there and its "Windows started everything". That's the mentality we are dealing with and it needs to be rectified!
We always needed a professional promo like this. Even if it should seem pointless at this time, people must know that many of the technologies we have now didn't start with Windows.
Looks very very nice and pro! Did you animated whole intro or used template and retype text? I am very interested seeing this video when it is finished :)
THIS IS THE BEST EVER PROMO FOR WHAT AMIGA WAS, IS AND WILL BE! AMIGA HAVE SURVIVED BECAUSE OF ITS USERS, NOT BECAUSE OF MONEY. THAT IS AN ACHIEVEMENT NO ONE ELSE HAVE DONE! AMIGA WILL NEVER DIE. SUPPORT THIS PLATFORM.. IT LIVES BECAUSE OF ALL AMIGANS KEEPING IT ALIVE. Thanks! Only Amiga Makes It Possible! Forever!
@surfitlive Thanks for your input. I had posted a quick review copy to only show one person, but the trailer was discovered anyway. That version was not meant to be seen. There is so much interest in the project that people searched YouTube before I even mentioned a trailer existed. Then that link was spread. That video has been deleted. I'm new at marketing. Please rememember that this is an independent project and a labor of love before you get too critical. Thanks.
Just that some people not too internet saavy might give up, quit or think that your just another 'vaporware' or Gateway/AMiga Inc type product that will NEVER materialize...when the links dont work.
Need to send a 'Fixer' to correct those problems haha!(Acid will work just fine!)
@surfitlive That's a good point. I'm workin on it all. Damned day job gets in the way. Also, want to make anyone reading this aware that this ain't the trailer for the film. It's just a little teaser to get the word out. When the film is finished in about a year, we'll have a real website and much better trailer to go along with it. This one will materialize, there's just no reason it won't.
Ah, they moved that polygon over a bit in the "before..." stinger at the end so you can more clearly see the "X" in "Before Mac OS *X*". Thanks guys!
@thedungeondelver hehe yes. wanted to make that clear. please also use this version to link the video if you do post it anywhere. thanks man! glad youre excited
Wow! Great teaser/trailer! Big Amiga fan here.
But "before Mac Os X"? I think you mean Mac Os.
Because Os X was released in 2002. ;-)

Excellent promo video, really in Amiga spirit. Its stile reminds of some really cool old scene megademos! :D

Today there is similar situation with Apple fans. I would normally be annoyed with them but then I remember I am like that with the Amiga :)

I'm really hoping it will focus on the software, capabilities and the games more than the business aspects of Commodore.

There are links to the original/older video that are NOT playable because the video is marked 'Private'.!!
NOT a good way to start off w/marketing. I had to fight to get the web site to come up and there it had the new link.
BUT other websites point to the other one;

Just unmark that video to public, it`s much better then people
that are unable to see the link now. Post a link there to this trailer
in description and leave official web site.
