Anyone know where this image came from, what is it?
I see others tries to identify mysterious stuff from the Amiga days, so here is my attempt :-)
First digitized picture I had This picture came off the original copied SoundTracker2.2 disk (I think). I have no idea why it was on the disk, but most likely some local guy put it there for a unknown purpose. I was so amazed to find out that the disk had mysterious files on it that was not music related, and it was amazing to manage to load this picture for the first time and see a digitized picture, in fact, my first ever on Amiga. It seems to be from a George Michael music video or some Nick Kershaw stuff, but to this date I’m unsure what it was. The original .IFF ILBM Amiga image can you download here. (sample.iff) I’m not really sure if that was the original filename as I copied it over from that mentioned disk. We can tell it was most likely digitized sometime in 1985-1989 from a video tape, since the image has motion blur in it and I found it in 1989. 1985 because it could have come from a Amiga 1000 and that really limits down the available equipment, which would have been between 1985-1987. That should narrow down the hunt for available equipment at the time. Its taken from my blog: http://www.stone-oakvalley-studios.c...g/?page_id=526 But do anybody know who are on that picture, where it came from or is it just a random digi by somebody very local? |

Could it be a picture from the video Nikita from Elton John?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikita_(song) Edit: I don´t know how the video looked like, but that was a project where both Nik Kershaw and George Michael participated. |

Could be a different version of even a "making of" that shot came from. Here is at least the official Nikita
