I didn't know such advanced effects were readily available back in the 80s! That machine seems to have all the default transition and animation effects a normal free video editor seems to have. Incredible!
@@JulianQuinn These guys don't do VFX effects for movies. Instead, they specialize on intro graphics for TV shows. It's like making TH-cam video intros but the old school analog way. 😀
Am I seeing keyframing 1984? Been watching how movies etc. were made/edited in the 70s/80s for 2 days now and I never knew this. Thank you so much, I unironically wanna be an editor in that time like this cool awesome dude! Enormous props to editors back then, their hard work brought us the best movies ever made.
No way, that is fantastic, I had no idea computers had enough power to do such advanced effects at that time, for me as a video editor this is fascinating
You know when you’re deep into effects when you’re watching an 80s video on how they made 80s effects whilst wondering how to get the effect that looks like the 80s video that explained 80s effects. Mm hmm
What a great time to be in video production. I have so many memories of how video had progressed from analog to digital, it was really a time of pioneering.
Ampex ADO 1000 fantastic video animation machine, i remember was used in Mexico 86 for effect replay and graphics, and for many video advertise, and theme tv program and reel logo. Its fantastic symbol of the technology 80's.
Or better yet, the present day would have all the video post production effects done in video editing apps on a PC or laptop, like my Windows 11 laptop, and my go-to video editing app, VEGAS Pro/Movie Studio.
@northernplacecorporation yes I used vegas movie studio, but I broke my laptop and didn't have the money for another, so I use my phone to edit now, but the app I use is great it's called lumafusion and my work flow and editing style is basically the same as in vegas MS the only difference is that my phone editing app obviously lacks effects and transitions, but as far as masking and Keyframing motions and effects I'm really surprised at how good mobile apps have gotten
Wow... I was amazed at all this post production effects stuff that the Canadians at André Perry Video had to do in the 1980s... I never new such a thing like this did happen back then... obviously, all that had to be transferred to one-inch type C videotape via one-inch VTRs like the Ampex VPR-2 that is pictured in this one. And, yes, the guy that's portrayed in this video is Luigi Iammatteo of... of course, André Perry Video. And the actual special effects computer seen in it? The Ampex ADO-1000.
Is there a good video online that goes into the history of cgi/post production effects that gives details on how the equipment worked/works starting from the early days all the way to modern day?
A single video, don't have one. But I always keep a lookout for the key words like Optical Printers (the machine used to combine film elements), Opticals (slang term essentially meaning vfx back in the days before computers), Paint Box (early video fx computer like in this video), Scanimate (analog predecessor to Paintbox), Matte Shots, Matte paintings, Glass Paintings (various ways to put painted extensions in a frame), The list becomes long. But you basically need to train the algorithm and suddenly you find some weird forgotten piece of tech that someone found and is trying to renovate to working condition. There is a bit of misinformation to sift through as often the people writing stuff down had no clue what the engineers were doing and there's a lot of repeated content as well in what you'll find. Sometimes there's reverse engineering to be done as a technician shows off a procedure but not the whole thing but you know about he gear in frame so you piece together workflows betwee the lines. Nerdy? Provably. But still much more fun than whatever sports team did with a ball this week. :P But yeah. If you find anything that fits the bill
Looking back 40 years later it was pretty limited. I'm only halfway through the video but this is stuff a kid can do on their phones now. I love the advancement of technology
Haha this is a typical young editor who loves special effects. In a NY market, the director is in full creative decisions, not the editor. As an emmy award editor I never make creative decisions. I am there to take thier vision and make it a reality. I never would tell a director how to do thier job and they would never tell me how to do my job. I can tell a new person who edits a mile away. They tend to crave using special effects or trying to show off like "look what I can do!" 90% of all edits are cuts & dissolves. If a special effect is desired by a director, we discuss thier vision and i use all the tools I am skilled at to get it done. I worked at one of the largest post facilities on the east coast of USA and we did amazing work. The CMX editor was highly modified so we could use ANYTHING that was capable of being run w/time code! We even made our own interface boxes if the unit was incapable of time code. It truly was an amazing place to work
@@someuser4166 so this tech that's been around for over 40 years is still locked behind massive paywalls, making it inaccessible to a lot of people. cool.
I mean... Nowadays we have artificial intelligence and a technology much powerful than those we used to have 40 years ago, but as artists and creative people, we've become too cold and robotic. Today's graphics for the most part doesn't really have that thrilling effect it once had. Too bad...
This is great! I'm an employee at IBM. I'm about to upgrade to our newest model.. the IBM PC 5150. I'll finally be able to start writing the scripts for my videos . After i put a 640k internal expansion memory card in it there will be no limit to the scripts I can write. As for the video editing.... I'll just have to wait a few years until that capability is made accessible to those few of us that have a computer in our house 👍 By the way... Some loser came into the office today to meet with my boss at IBM. Some loser named William Bates or something like that. He told my boss that he has an OS for our new model. He only wanted to rent it to us...... And still keep the rights to allow other people to use the OS. Personally, I think the guy is a joke So I told my boss just to go ahead and agree to the terms so we could get this William Bates guy the hell out of the building 🙄. He's a nobody and will always be a nobody compared to us at IBM. Anyway, thank you for the video. I can't wait till those of us that have computers in our house are able to edit videos at home 🥳
+Ate tape (SD) I'd reckon it might be a Quanta CG--I used a Quanta in my public access TV days, and it generated text very similar that in this video (although it looked just slightly different in the font styling, but very similar).
This video was produced the year prior to Super Mario Bros. coming into the Famicom in Japan and the NES in USA, Canada, and Europe. But you weren;t referring to SMB's own Luigi, you are actually referring to Luigi Iammatteo.
Can you just take off your nostalgia googles for a second? You're all biased against anything modern and want everything to be like it was in your childhood while refusing to acknowledge that your childhood sucks. so if you could stop making blanket statements and actually explain why you use the words you use, then I will listen. Untill then, I will pass you all off as a bunch of pretentious nostalgia-blind idiots.
Back then it took a computer the size of a room. Now I'm doing this on a laptop. I love old tech, it makes me appreciate what we have today.
You thinking of the 40s mate. By the late 20th centiry they were small ya dumb ass I outta kick yo ass
I agree
Im doing edits on my ipad mini lol. Thats technology for ya
What??? You're doing spinning logos and fx like these on your laptop?? Bullshyt I bet it's no where near as good as the visuals on this video
@@FunkMobbMack these are literally default effects on any video editing software lmaoo even free ones
I didn't know such advanced effects were readily available back in the 80s! That machine seems to have all the default transition and animation effects a normal free video editor seems to have. Incredible!
For the price of a luxury sports car maybe two.
No wonder 80s effects were overdone or a little over the top. It was so new to people, and it was groundbreaking shit
also, the guy did say the vfx people had more control than the director
Aliens effects were overdone? Predator?
They were great
@@southlondon86 that’s funny I’m literally watching predator right now and I paused it to look up 80s video editing 😂

This video hosted, directed and edited by Ron Jeremy. XD
5/7 not enough dix
always asked myself how they made all those effects thanks :)
Did you ever answer?
@@whitestguyuknow This video was the answer the their question I guess
6:00 "That's incredible, seems like there are all kinds of possibilities that are ... uh, possible" -- 10/10 creativity
Honestly it’s so cool learning about post production in the 80’s

i would kill to have these effects on windows 10,
it would be sick to do animation memes and live streams with these effects
you can do it in after effects
why do i find this so innocently adorable to watch 😭😭😭😭
Didn't know Ron Jeremy had a VFX company.
The 80's were crazy, indeed.
Ron Jeremy had a VFX facility. In this case, André Perry Video in Canada.
we really had to appreciate these people that made it possible to do all these things rn in a pc or laptop or even a phone, absolute godly work 🙏🏼

@ 4:28 - Page Curly Turn Transition Effect, but then it is not working on Pinnacle Hollywood FX 5 and the Adobe Premiere Pro
"Maybe there will be an effect that will make you disappear" collab of the latest tech would be interesting to see
Very cool! Thanks so much for sharing this Treasure! :D
this oldies video machines render in real time more fast than actuall mac or pc, 80´s rules.
Because it is low resolution
I would love to own one of these machines. Digital can’t compete with analog in this regard.
These things here are digital they were the first boxes that could do digital picture manipulation.
he is editting a video of himself editting in the present
*editing
*edoting
4:44 “like tiles” only pixels came to my mind but well it’s from the past even though “pixel” existed earlier than this interview
You're a wizard Andre!
Wow, this is AWESOME!
4:45 There was a trick to pixelation from early processors like Qantel,and ADO…unplugging LSB. RAM chips in the field stores !
old video editors using hardware, today we only use software on a simpler computer hardware. so amazing.
Damn. Ron Jeremy was the jack of all trades back in the 80s I see.
pablo escobar :v
lol
lmfao
damn right
That's really cool!!
Wow that collar at the end is wild
It would be cool if adobe sold full room interfaces like this. So immersive.
I cannot imagine the computer behind this magic (and its price)
Literally what I wanna know (the price).
Early 80's probably price of a Ferrari or Porsche.
Late 80 same money as an expensive family sedan.
The computer that did all of this was the Ampex ADO-1000. The price for this computer was expensive.
Now you can do all of these with just your phone.
We've really come a long way
Wtf are you talking about do fx like these on your phone show me what app!!??
@@FunkMobbMack Kinemaster Diamond [MOD] , Alight Motion, After effects.
All of this makes more sense than what we have today. Everything is too complicated now.
meek miLL what nooo bruh now a days you kust click to ad the effect not a stupid joystick and all those useless buttons
i have to laugh
Lots of nothing on today tech , I prefer windows 95 over 10
5:46 Wow I've never seen a turtle neck like that
Because he comes from the future.
now my 5 years old already an expert with capcut....
This was fun!!

How can these be done on avid media composer? I love retro 80's special effects. =)
Kenny Advocat Bump
no, not really
How in the hell can you do these movements today on Sony Vegas or Adobe Premiere?? Damn near impossible!!
That's what after effects is for
@@someuser4166 so this tech that's been around for over 40 years is still locked behind massive paywalls, making it inaccessible to a lot of people. cool.
its süch simpłe effects yęt it's the cooolest shit considering how new ånd innovative this was for thęm back then 😭 holy shitttt
6:05 "Maybe there's an effect that can make you disappear! Hahaha...."
I've always wondered how it was done back then.
they got luigi from the super mario bros. to teach us about effects
mad respect
No. That's not the same Luigi you were referring to. You were referring to Luigi Iammatteo of André Perry Video.
1:20 "Now there is no limit anymore"
damm imovie cant do any of these

0:49 plot twist: the director is the editor
Going back to the 80's for inspo to create original content #filmnerd ;P
how to do that these days? I want to know how to make these transitions, with this texture and aesthetics of video
Grandfather of After Effects
This is great! I'm an employee at IBM. I'm about to upgrade to our newest model.. the IBM PC 5150. I'll finally be able to start writing the scripts for my videos . After i put a 640k internal expansion memory card in it there will be no limit to the scripts I can write.

2:27 he was easing the keyframes :o

didnt know until now that pablo escobar is a post production editor
He needed a way to launder his money
why did people dislike the video
nowadays a lot of people can edit these on after effects... wow
It was 40 years ago tho, that's like video deep learning now everyone is able to experiment it
But today they don't have joysticks to edit video everything has to be programmed in on a mouse that's a pain in the ass
These footages are from Scanimate.
I love 80 technology
Really Luigi has made nice effects
He's actually Luigi Iammatteo, as seen here.
Wow that’s Cool. It’s like today but better.
So keyframing is actually exist from a long time ago
yes
That turtle neck tho…
this must have been crazy expensive.
$5
Does anyone know can someone suggest me a program for windows that can make videos exactly lile this?
Bing bang boom there you hav-it
Nice collar

classic !
does anyone know the name of the computer he's using? i think i missed it, but i remember this computer having a very specific name
I know the exact computer he was using. He was using the Ampex ADO-1000 for all of these video post-production effects.
sick
Wow
Didn't know Pablo Escobar did video post-production effects
Adobe after effects version 0.00001 beta test be like:
Those must be ampex equipment.
see, this is what digital video is missing
