Virgil and his mirrors! Great! Thanks Jim!

@StevenBradford it was great the David must have tapped into your Ultimatte feed for that sequence with Nicole coming out of the operating room - showing the matte in real time. Quite an effort, what a great team we had.

Thanks for the upload, Jim ;-). Embedded in the Rama page and subbed to your channel :-).

hot damn! this is great :D nice find

[ruudje1976]

@TLancer129 : he didn't "find" it, he MADE it :). You can see him several times throughout the video, for example at 3:50. The guy behind the monitor at 1:00 is Mark Hood, the game director.

@ruudje1976 yeah, I noticed that once I read the discription, a tad too late ;)

still, a nice insight into the inner working of the game back in the day.

@TLancer129 no problem at all. and thanks again for all the great Rama walkthrus you have posted.

btw, in your endgame and credit #28 walk thru you can see Nicole with the color lights reflecting off of her and know how it was done. Of course you can see all the rest of the actual videos shown in pieces in this behind the scenes. take care.

@ruudje1976 I've had this footage on a analog Hi-8 video tape all these years, but didn't have access to a Hi-8 deck until a couple days ago, so I finally was finally able to transfer it and edit into this short piece. It was fun to see again after so many years and fall in love with Amy Hunter (Nicole) once again. She was a sweetheart and fine actress.
