Given the date the animation on the first vid appears to have been Scanimate'd, courtesy of one of the following: Dolphin Productions, Image West, or Computer Image, Inc. (where I worked). My best guess is it was produced at Image West since, best as I can recall, at CI we were busy creating at least one backdrop video for Rush's Moving Pictures tour; a single-o Candy Givens vid and the usual horseshit bread-and-butter work: waterbed store commercials, local news station openings and other standard industrial film work.

Generally solid, but the blue hard plastic seats degraded from UV light after a few years. Or maybe because we were standing on them. Fun times!
