Halt & Catch Fire

As someone who grew up computer-obsessed in the Dallas, TX area in the 80s & 90s, I was thrilled when AMC Studios asked me to provide pixel art animation for the Season 2 finale of Halt & Catch Fire.

To bring the fictional 80s online service Mutiny to life with pixel-art animation, I used using a combination of Photoshop, After Effects and C64 Paint, staying as faithful to the limits of the Commodore 64 as possible.

Special thanks to Gary Winnick, who’s art on pioneering computer adventure games served as inspiration.
