My dear friend Cliff Leckey produced this animation on  Deluxe  Paint  IV  using
WinUAE on a Windows Vista PC.

When I first met Cliff and his wife Jean in the early 2000s,  we  discovered  we
both  had  a  love for Amiga computers, depiste the popularity of Windows PCs at
the time. We soon became great friends. Cliff had sold his motorbike and  bought
an  Amiga  1200,  which  he regularly used to create animations in Deluxe Paint,
recording them to VHS tape using a GenLock.  Often  he  would  use  ClariSSA  to
produce titles for his various holiday videos.

I was regularly called on when he had a problem with his Amiga. I called on  him
too  when  I  had  a  problem with my motorbike! Eventually he got a PC, and the
Amiga was moved up to the loft. But he still loved  to  work  on  the  emulator,
which  of  course enabled him to produce animations at a far faster rate than he
ever did with his 1200.

Cliff's last video he produced was the  JetAnim,  which  I  uploaded  to  Aminet
shortly  before he died. Cliff used the emulator to transfer his animations to a
PC format, and then used sound recording  software  to  add  sound  effects  and
dialogue to his animations.

This video has no sound effects or speech added to  it,  although  had  he  been
alive  to  finish  it  properly, I have no doubt he would have done that. He has
also produced other Bible animations, one of the days of  creation,  with  sound
effects  and  narration  from  the  book of Genesis, and another Bible animation
which is my favourite, entitled, How Much Do You Know? I still have these two on
the computer, but only in FLV format. If anyone is interested, I can send them a
copy.
