File:Rescue from the Empire - An Upside Down Production 1994

Description
Here is a lighthearted piece of computer history I am surprised has not been available online. I have tried searching for information many times over the years, particularly about the company "Upside Down Productions," but found nothing. It seems this video was produced as an example of what could be created with Adobe Software and QuickTime on the Macintosh in the early 90s. It was filmed on location at Adobe Systems Incorporated in Mountain View California before it was published in April 1994 on the Apple Student Resource Set CD that came with my new Power Macintosh 7100/66.

"This motion picture was digitally recorded, assembled and printed to tape using Adobe Premiere™ 2.0."
