Alright, it's not a commercial and didn't direct it, my friend Bill Mather did - but I was the motion control operator/lighting cameraman. The gallery was a model (built by Jamie and Suzanne of Dynamic Innovations) and was about 20 cms high, we filmed it using a periscope lens on the rig and had to remove/replace the ceiling sections as we filmed. The breakdancer was shot on 16 mm at about 6 frames per second. Music by Tim and Ian.

  • I used to love this. I was young guy working as a computer graphics designer in the live events industry at the time and this was a constant source of inspiration. Not seen it for years. Great memories.

  • @HurdyGurdyMen It was such a great project to work on - no-one else was really doing stuff like this back then ;-)

  • I love this! I remember it so clearly - it's probably directly responsible for me ending up in my career as a teacher of video post production.

    Is there any chance of the music being released?

  • @zer05ummedia I don't think so - it was such a long time ago. Glad to hear it inspired you though ;-)

  • @thehumancartoon Thanks!

  • @peshozmiata I think most of it was the Bosch FGS 4000 - I can't remember if we had the Alias or Wavefront back then but we may have. You might want to check out The Making of Monkey Business on my channel if you're into early CG (the film is on there as well)....

  • @thehumancartoon Do you by chance know what type of software/hardware was used in the making of the CG scenes?

    There is a channel here on YouTube called "VintageCg" that has a lot of these early 3d graphics pieces with some behind the scenes stuff too. I was initially hoping to find "Picture Gallery" in there, so i'm glad it was uploaded here after all :)

  • @peshozmiata Tim is a cameraman and Ian is an editor/director, but I think he may still dabble in music....

  • Oh man, i've been trying to find this for ages! The music is just great and the visuals are very nicely stylized. Are Tim Green and Ian Garland still making music?

  • @dougiesnr2012 Glad you found it. Dougie actually worked on it - all the live action scenes were shot in the studio. Tim who did the music with Ian was my assistant in the motion control studio at the time. MPC is a much different place now, and you're right Noel Street is full of great memories... :-) P
