My dear friend Cliff Leckey produced this animation on  Deluxe  Paint  IV  using
WinUAE on a Windows Vista PC.

When I first met Cliff and his wife Jean in the early 2000s,  we  discovered  we
both  had  a  love for Amiga computers, depiste the popularity of Windows PCs at
the time. We soon became great friends. Cliff had sold his motorbike and  bought
an  Amiga  1200,  which  he regularly used to create animations in Deluxe Paint,
recording them to VHS tape using a GenLock.  Often  he  would  use  ClariSSA  to
produce titles for his various holiday videos.

I was regularly called on when he had a problem with his Amiga. I called on  him
too  when  I  had  a  problem with my motorbike! Eventually he got a PC, and the
Amiga was moved up to the loft. But he still loved  to  work  on  the  emulator,
which  of  course enabled him to produce animations at a far faster rate than he
ever did with his 1200.

This  animation  was  created  by  Cliff  a  number  of  years  ago,  and  is  a
visualisation  of  the  approach  of a satellite going into orbit around the Red
Planet. As you can see, he has worked very hard to achieve a  three  dimensional
effect, which is completely hand drawn.
