Megakat City

Well actually that series does stretch the limits of reality quite a bit. For example having live video from an underground tunnel without massive amounts of preparation is impossible even today.

Ohh I think I'd like to be Hard Drive.

What kind of hardware/software did you use to capture frames back then? It was a Fast F60 MJPEG capable video editing card in an 80 MHz 486 from AMD.

Here's my take on it. Obviously it's animated.

If anybody has cool ideas for such panoramas, please post them.
