Amigas in music videos

[Maren]

Anyone remember any music videos where Amiga hardware is shown? (not videos made or enhanced in Amigas)

I was watching Savage's [ Show youtube player ], spotted a kickass TI-99/4A and started wondering...

Never seen one in a Music video. Seen loads in films and TV.

I found this on YouTube [ Show youtube player ] Looks homemade. But look an Amiga 500

[Maren]

There's like a thousand computers in Philip Oakey's "Together In Electric Dreams" and none is an Amiga. Shame on the producers

[lopos2000]

But the film is great. Have the album as well.

[Maren]

The film was pretty average, but the record did indeed kick serious ass.

Giorgio Moroder ftw! The cello duel with the computer kicks ass :-)

'The Chart Show' in the late 80's/early 90's used video overlay of workbench graphics/icons on every music video they showed

[Maren]

@Moroder: yes!
@Paul: better than nothing

Wonder if the balloons were done on Amiga?

In 1987 this was replaced with the more familiar display which featured a "mouse-pointer" and "icons" generated on an Amiga computer. Although commonplace nowadays, such interfaces were relatively cutting-edge at the time. The look of the icons was updated on the move to ITV in January 1989, and again upon the show's relaunch on December 7, 1991. However, this update only lasted one show and the previous 1989 icons returned the following week and lasted until May 1996 when the show's look and production was completely overhauled and was replaced with an animated text banner at the bottom of the screen.

TIED was released in 1984, so there was no way the Amiga could have made an appearance.

Big Fun really did murder that Jackson 5 track

[DyLucke]

Yes they really did

Yes...and what about this??

Its the cover album...

[Gavilan]

Alas...now im thinking...not Amiga strictly but... "Living on a Video" by Trans-X spots some PET computers....
[ Show youtube player ] (0.12 minutes specially)

[Predseda]

Vice versa - I remember the song "Living on video" in one of the C64s music demos back then in 80s

[Mungo]

Who in their right mind would tape the Chart Show, actually keep it for that amount of time and then bother to encode and publish it?

We're dealing with a sinister mind there....

I read in a couple of interviews that Kevin Saunderson, one of the original Detroit Techno creators used an Amiga as a core part of his production setup. He also had a more mainstream project called Inner City, and in this Inner City music video from 1990 at 3:01 it looks like an Amiga, as I haven't had an Amiga for a number of years maybe someone could verify.
