Aptec Tradeshow Video, circa 1988

The following video was done in 1988 by Chris Foleen and myself.  Our boss at the time, Larry Wade tasked us with coming up with a better video than the one the company had commissioned for about $50,000.  Neither of us had done anything like this before.  We researched what could be done “in-house” and ended up buying a IBM PC with a Targa video card.  We rented a Sony A/B roll tape deck.  Chris did the computer graphics using Lumina software.  I went down to California to a military base that held archived movie footage going back to WWI.  Chris, do you remember where the music came from?  Be sure to check out the tank and missile scene at about 1 minute and 18 seconds.  This video was continuously run on a stack of four televisions at trade shows and was quite successful.
