View source for ExoticA Intro Logos/Star Wars

Full animated version of an intro logo made for ExoticA in 1999 by [[User:XtC|XtC]], to coincide with the release of [[Lost In Translation/Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace|Episode 1]]. Yes, XtC is a [[wikipedia:Star Wars|Star Wars]] fan :)

Advert mutilation and artistically '[[Boing Ball|boinged]]' by XtC. The original animation was created by [[Eric Schwartz]] for the Amiga.

When the first of new poster artwork showed itself on the Star Wars website the idea hit me instantly!  I had to create a Star Wars themed ExoticA logo, but it had to be relevant to the [[Amiga]] before I would even consider showing it to [[User:BuZz|BuZz]] - so what was I to do...?

I've always been a fan of [[Eric Schwartz]]' work and I remembered his [{{AminetURL|package=pix/eric/AmyVsWalker}} Amy vs Walker] animation - I wanted to use it, but not without his permission.  I explained my mad idea to Eric in an e-mail seeking his permission - and Eric said yes!

So, after a long process of removing Eric's original background from this animation, I then had to tweak the animation itself to make it fit within the boundaries created by the new logo.  That's why the [[wikipedia:AT-AT|AT-AT]] appears to fly after it leaps towards the [[Boing Ball|boinged]] [[wikipedia:List_of_Star_Wars_families#Lars_family|Lars]]' home.  Ahem.

My original idea was to make [[wikipedia:Anakin Skywalker|Anakin]]'s shadow resemble the [[wikipedia:Microsoft Windows|Windoze]] logo, but I chickened out and redrew [[wikipedia:Darth Vader|Darth Vader]]!

I used Personal Paint, [[wikipedia:Photogenics|Photogenics]] and ImageFX for this logo.
