The rarest, and one of the best Amiga models built, along with some Amiga image processing, can be seen in Italian thriller "Fatal Frames" ("Fotogrammi Mortali", 1996).
In this late giallo one of the characters reviews some video footage using an actual Amiga 3000T. It's not the most exciting movie ever, but this might be the only time this rare Amiga model has been put on film.

It's not perfectly clear what precisely is happening technically, the editing suite that can be seen in "Fatal Frames" has more pro-tech, genlocking might be involved, the footage on the screens might be edited for the movie, etc. But at least some of it is obviously genuine Amiga.

After watching a couple of scenes on the video screens there's confirmation: An Amiga 3000T can be seen briefly, standing on the right side of the editing desk.

An Amiga 3000T and a "Deep ILBM" image loading progress-bar in a movie - epic stuff for the nostalgic and enthusiast! Actually it's a little surprising that this professional editing suite doesn't have a DraCo, which came out just two or three years before the movie and would've been the logical upgrade. But then, maybe it was a tad too expensive, or they used Amiga only for additional image processing and genlocking, or maybe it just wasn't available yet at the time of filming - and, of course, an A3000T isn't shabby at all.
