IDL stood for Interactive Distance Learning. This is an opening I made to start off training broadcasts we used to do back when Nortel was somewhat richer than it is today.

It was meant to represent the Distance Learning concept of people from various locations gathering "virtually" (a real happening word at the time) to hear from a remote instructor.

I did everything except the video montage near the end. I think I was using A:M v5 at the time for the 3D, Strata MediaPaint for the fireballs and Adobe After Effects to tie it all together. The music is from a library we licensed.

That's pretty good Robert. I gather that you arranged and performed the music as well.

Nice work. I've always been weak at technical stuff, but you handled this quite well.



heh, heh, fear indeed....

No, for all it's excesses, Nortel never had a 20 piece swing band on staff.

Doh!

Really nice animation.
