Re: WORLD OF COMMODORE 2023 - Toronto, Canada - December 2nd & 3rd - ft. RJ Mical ! Introductory greetings were provided by Bruce Boxleitner and Claudia Christian, where they discussed their impressions of Babylon 5's revolutionary use of visual effects on TV. The pilot's VFX were provided by a studio named Foundation Imaging, using a series of Commodore Amiga computers and NewTek's Video Toaster technology. For their work on the pilot, Foundation Imaging won the 1993 Emmy Award for Outstanding Individual Achievement In Special Visual Effects.
