    I created "Rush Hour" primarily for SIGGRAPH 88 in Atlanta (it was shown
at the conference last August) and it is not public domain.  The video was
single-frame recorded on tape and runs about two minutes.  It was rendered by
an experimental 3D program similar to VideoScape 3D 2.0 (actually most of the
scenes could have been done by VS3D 2.0 except for the hi-res black and white
segments and the texture mapping in Golden Gate Park).  The color segments
were created in 352x440 HAM mode.  The objects used were all constructed 
using a early version of Aegis Modeler 3D, which I feel is the most powerful 
object editor available for the Amiga (thank you Stuart Ferguson).  These
objects aren't being distributed yet but I am releasing several objects from
my previous films (like the Apache helicopters, "Arati" building, icebergs,
and haunted house).  Also, I may look into distributing "Rush Hour" on VHS if
enough people are interested.
