My dear friend Cliff Leckey produced this animation on  Deluxe  Paint  IV  using
WinUAE on a Windows Vista PC.

When I first met Cliff and his wife Jean in the early 2000s,  we  discovered  we
both  had  a  love for Amiga computers, depiste the popularity of Windows PCs at
the time. We soon became great friends. Cliff had sold his motorbike and  bought
an  Amiga  1200,  which  he regularly used to create animations in Deluxe Paint,
recording them to VHS tape using a GenLock.  Often  he  would  use  ClariSSA  to
produce titles for his various holiday videos.

I was regularly called on when he had a problem with his Amiga. I called on  him
too  when  I  had  a  problem with my motorbike! Eventually he got a PC, and the
Amiga was moved up to the loft. But he still loved  to  work  on  the  emulator,
which  of  course enabled him to produce animations at a far faster rate than he
ever did with his 1200.

Cliff's last video he produced was the  JetAnim,  which  I  uploaded  to  Aminet
shortly  before he died. Cliff used the emulator to transfer his animations to a
PC format, and then used sound recording  software  to  add  sound  effects  and
dialogue to his animations.

These are the animations Cliff made of the six days of Creation. He added  music
and narration from the book of Genesis to it on his PC. This can be viewed on my
YouTube  channel  (@FreshOffTheStack).  He  has  also  produced  another   Bible
animations,  entitled,  How Much Do You Know? I still have this on the computer,
but only in FLV format. I do not have access to the original animation files.
