checked the trip dubs

I had a talk with an old family friend that has worked in the industry since the 80s and he educated me on the Quantel series of computers. Quantel Paintbox, HAL, Henry, and the like. I had no idea these existed till a month ago and it's been super fun going down the rabbit hole on these things. the UI on these computers is super basic, but they absolutely were the photoshop and after effects of the 80s and early 90s.

for anyone interested in this style, there is a treasure trove of demoreels, showreels, and company instructional tapes from this era and they go as far as breaking down layer by layer how some of those early motion graphics were made. really really good stuff.

pic related is a screencap from some motion stuff I'm working on thats heavily inspired from Quantel showreel videos.
