Computer Aided Animation – How did it all start?
Ever wonder how early computer animations was created? This video from 1971, complete with spacey synthetic music, demonstrates not only one of the first interactive computer systems for animation, one used for production, it was also an outstanding example of early user-centered design, including one of the first computer mice.
The system was developed by Marceli Wein and Nestor Burtnyk, both of whom won Academy Awards for this influential work.
