<![CDATA[original title sequence ...]]>Hi,

MY name is Billy Allison, I was part of the animation team that did the original title sequence and while having a garage sort out session, i came across a load of animation drawings from it ... that prompted me to look on for a nice quality clip of it ... a quick google brought me here

Anyone got a good quality copy of the sequence?

I have a couple of the drawings scanned in ... just not uploaded them to my site yet ... anyone want to see 'em just gimme a shout

Cheers

Billy

I'm not sure who he was, although i was told it was me by one of the guys ... 😮

But I reckon it was LLoyd Sutton, one of the animators that worked there .. sorry LLoyd, wherever you are

As i said it's been a mystery for 20 years. A Dungeoneer?

You're talking about this thread, one of the first I ever started (three years ago, not two ). Perhaps getting in touch with 'bli' directly (via his website) could lead you to more information on the mystery creature, if there is any.

3 years ago, Drassil wondered about that prisoner in the 1-3 series titles- Is it a troll? Hmm... A mystery. I've watched the titles loads of times here r my opinions of what it could be:

A dwarf

A dungeoneer that got trapped years ago

An early drawing of Sylvester 'Ands

Just Treguard peering through outside to scare the Knight

Sum1 pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzz give me a reply of what you think it could be- i will be gr8ful 🙂

The file is 11.5Mb if anyone is interested.

looks at remaining bandwidth

Right I'll put the clip online for the next few days if anyone wants it, and then after 1/11 I'll take it offline and if you want it the PM me.

EDIT: Clip loads in RealPlayer - not sure about other media players.

Did you capture directly to wmv?

What iused to do was capture to some other format, one will little compression then convert to wmv later using the windows media converter, but not bad at all for a 2mb file, cheers ...

you can spot the drawings I've got a little easier now

if you have trouble converting the file to wmv from a larger file and have the means to upload the large file then i'll convert it for you if you want

Cheers

Billy

Unfortunately Windows Movie Maker decided to play sillies towards the end of the clip.

I shall try and capture it in a better format at a later date.

Thanks very much indeed for going to so much time and trouble. It's been marvellous for me (and, I'm sure, everyone else here) to get such a fascinating insider's view.

Couldn't agree more, thanks very much Bli for the time and effort taken to show us these animations, it is much appreciated

Just realised that I cannot use an installer (even if it is the same one) from one of my chart cd's as they all went down my cellar, as I'm trying to clear things from our house

It was the same place that made the knightmare intro, they were called Siriol, unless they changed their name without telling me, it wasn't soreal as it says on the pics pages

Cheers
