I am very glad I got to see this short film. I would rate it as very historic in the annals of computer graphics, right up there with Sutherland's Sketchpad demo, Jim Blinn's Pioneer/Voyager/Saturn sequences, Tron's Light Cycle, Last Starfighter model shading right through the crossover point (ie. animation becoming secondary to the characters and story) modern work of Toy Story and Shrek.

Wrong. The first CG animations are more than 25 year-old. Even "Tron", which was released in 1984, was not among the first CG animations.

Wow this is really amazing-considering that the first computer anumation was only created 15 or so years ago. You were certainly an innovator of your time.

Very fascinating to see how they work back in the 70s before they had what we have today
