  • Every single animation in the AMF BOSS scoring system. These were made for bowling alleys in the 90's and very little high quality of footage could be found online... until now.

  • @wetheepiphany
    @wetheepiphany Před 2 lety +83

    Omg I was hoping to find these- they had this at a bowling alley I visited as a kid during a vacation.
    The blue bowling ball with the eyes and limbs particularly freaked me out (particularly the dance floor one where he does the splits- which actually isn't in this video), and combined with a creepy adult song someone was blasting on the jukebox, induced a meltdown in kid me- my parents had to carry me out of the alley in tears when our game was over. Worse- where we were staying on vacation had not one, but TWO spherical hanging lamps- and every time I saw them, I imagined them transforming into the creepy bowling ball to haunt me at night. Fun times ^^;
    Seeing these animations again, now that I'm older and better able to deal with anxiety, it's strangely nostalgic- I remembered some of these much better than I thought, and it's actually pretty cool to see animations I never would have in a regular session (like the Turkey ones).
    Anyway- I guess that's the story of my bowling animation memories. Thanks for reading.

    Ingenuity of the 1990s animators + efficiency within the constraints of the early 3D animation software. This is brilliant. The constraints are obvious, and add extra flavour. Niko from CorridorDigital perfectly captured the spirit of bare-bones rendering engines with only the most primitive transformations available, and perectly imitated this style.

    I remember seeing some of those animations when I was a kid and teenager. They were shown at Leisureplex in Stillorgan, Dublin, Ireland 🇮🇪 years ago but sadly Leisureplex isn't at Stillorgan anymore and it has been demolished since August 2021 and it will be replaced by apartments. I missed that complex so much and I would never forget it.
