I was intoduced to this network just a few days ago, so if this query has 
been answered already, excuse me.

I'm an artist and a musician.  I'm looking for a computer system that will
give me MIDI capabilities, animation, rendering, image processing, and 
video taping capabilities.  In short I want to produce animated short films.
I've acquired a few demo tapes on the capabilities of the Amiga.  The ones
I've seen aren't that impressive.  Still, I can't help but think that in the
hands of someone that knows what they are doing, it may be what I'm looking
for.

Enough background already.  Does anyone out there know where I can get my hands
on a tape that REALLY show what the Amiga can do?  I work for the Intergraph
Corporation.  A number of people here have Amigas at home (I'm mean...who can
aford at workstation, right?) and love them.  Also, I keep hearing about the
Video Toaster, but NewTek said they don't have a demo to send me. I contacted
RGB Video Creations in Palm Beach Gardens ( they customize entire video systems
for the Amiga. They said that for ~$10,000 you can have a complete S-VHS editing
suite, tested, wired and ready to go.) They said they didn't have a demo tape
they could send me showing there system in action.

I'm a bit perplexed.  I read tons of articles praising the Amiga, but I can't
find a decent example of what everyone says it can do.

Any feedback would be appreciated.  I'm considering getting the A3000, Video
Toaster, and what ever else is necessary for broadcast quality production.
But I'm not getting anything until I see some good examples first.

Judging by some of the mail messages I've read, this is a good place to start.
Thanks in advance.
