$P.S.  The commercials are done by Lucasfilm!  Amigas were used both
$for all the Amiga stuff seen on the screen and in camera control and
$post production.  Apparently Lucasfilm has gone for Amigas in a BIG
$way.

Actually the Amiga's were not used for "Camera Control" per say.  The
amigas were genlocked to an S-VHS Video camera that was recieving a  black-
burst signal from a synch-generator tha was also timing the 35mm motion
picture camera.  The Amiga was genlocked using the Digital Creation's
A2000s S-VHS genlock and the software provided by digital Creations was
what allowed us to change the phase (or color) of the video signal in real time
so that we could color correct the output to match the color temperture
of the film camera.  As far as the post production goes we used an amiga
to display the opening graphic for the girl next door spot and took it too
1" tape this was then edited into the master. A farouja encoder was used 
between the Amiga and the 1" machine. All video was edited on 1" tape.
