I've now added a Github repo with the anim in Anim5 and Anim7L sound anim format for people to try. I've also put some instructions up for anyone wanting to do their own. This took about 3-4 days of computing time on an 060/50, so I've left the raw data in if people just want to try parts of it on a real Amiga.

This does have massive space savings compared to AGABlaster anims but is orders of magnitude more of a faff both to build and play. If you want to run this on an Amiga expect to wait upwards of 4 minutes before play starts with AnimFX.

This project became more about doing this *on* an Amiga to prove it was possible than actually making it worthwhile to do so.

I can see it being practical for short anims like the Itchy and Scratchy anims from way back when, but that's about it.
