History of Computer Animation - P1

[quangluu96]

LMAO!!!! i just notice the teapot in 3dsmax, that's why it's the basic object in any 3D animation software :D

[quangluu96]

O.o they had touchscreen in the 50-60s? i thought it was made in the 80s.

[EquinoxParadox91]

I feel inadequate.

[MrGroogly]

Hey man, thanks for uploading the video. Do you know when this documentary came out? (It's kind of important that I know this - [project]).

[Duvmasta]

the sync is a bit off...

[dennyny8]

YES, one animator can be responsible for an entire film. In the early days of TRON, Edwin Catmull worked mostly independently. He was the leading man in CGI at Lucasfilm and PIXAR after he had created the CGI Paint System at New York Institute of Technology. It was at NYIT that the CGI in TRON was conceptualized. I studied CGI at NYIT in 1991 using those very same systems. Unlike cell animation, the software can do much of the work.

Cant find part 2 for this only part 2 for every other video in the world

[TheMCMXXL2]

What i dont like at todays CG-Movies or Graphics afterall, is this restlessness and over-perfect scenery. Everything has to make an reaction on action Stunning images, but no time for the viewer to recognize and capturing the scene. This is one of the reasons why i like the old TRON more than the actual one, cause the old one gives an unreal impression - as it should be.

[TheMrbum]

Thank you for sharing this, It is very informative and interesting. I enjoyed watching it.

[RamiroR]

0:35 BULLSHIT.

One animator can't make a full length animated film.

[qed100]

@RamiroR It says, "In the future" it'll be possible for one person to make something like Shrek. I'm inclined to think that'll be true in a few years. Flatland is feature-length and was animated entirely by one person on a home computer. Just a couple of decades ago that would've been impractical. Three decades ago Jurassic Park was impossible. Computers and software are getting more capable all the time.

[dan2008ds]

very cool. I want to be an animator someday :)

[jaymorpheus11]

The nostalgia has worn off, what's so great about some cheap animated pos movie? That's not progress, it's just an el cheapo excuse for not hiring real artists.

[wolfs17]

Maybe that's why Autodesk 3ds max use a tea port cuz it was the first object in the 3d world ...

[darkdevil905]

@wolfs17 Yeah i always asked my self why a tea port why not a table !

[uriituw]

I hate the term, "boffin".

[davidevgen]

3:57 the first flash animation! lol

[Sharkinspector]

Haha, Turbo Teen's father @ 4:10 :D

[Tatertotz1337]

i don't think that only one person can create an animated film because the collective ideas of a group of people is what makes film so interesting. Then again, a novel is interesting and it is only the creativity of one person, so i may stand corrected.

[deltaray3]

Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! This video has so much incorrect information in it that its nothing more than eye candy. Its sad to think that people think that they are learning from documentaries nowadays when its nothing but a bunch of drivel thrown together with some sprinkles of facts. Do the research next time and get things right. Discovery Channel. You suck!

[parlezuml]

I love that the narration doesn't add up.

[chevezez]

i wish I coulda onboard the ride from the start, I guess i'd be to old now for my liking

[CHIEFPARTYPOPPLE]

computer animation is so aswome i love it

[OBSysteme]

Call me nuts, I miss VGA graphics.

[foryou835]

well, it really seems that Dreamworks produced this documentary. It's all about that shrek was the first groundbreaking feature animated film in history. When sherk was released Pixar finished their 4th film. And Dreamworks released AntZ after Pixar made a Bug's life, how interesting.

[quangluu96]

directx 1?

[kneteanimator]

where can i get this documentary? google wont help me...:(

[ThyArtIsMetal]

How do you spell that theat lux thing, I really want to watch it

[apex2000]

whats the original name, so can find the unedited version

[Neuroplasm]

@apex2000

The Science Of Animation :)

[Cluey3]

@Neuroplasm I can't find any info on it anywhere? Are you sure it's called this? I really to use this as a reference for an essay I'm writing, but I'll have to use the original name and broadcaster.

[mickmos]

@Neuroplasm any idea where i can download the full version? cheers

[racenuke]

Nice! thanks for sharing

[Bp1033]

Bored programmers... I know I'm on that boat.

[nelsonmars]

Audio is out of sync.

[redfoxbennaton]

Can people draw and animate as well as cgi computers can do traditionally? I am kind of able to do that.

[debsirin33298]

4.25 is awesome

[srvalfaro]

hey im doing a rather thorough research paper on the origins computer animation. could you tell me where you got these clips from? thanks.

[lemaro1977]

nice editing!

[wceinar]

where is mr whitney in this doc?

[silverman567]

terrible voiceover

[CodyRicheson]

That stuff around the 4 minute mark is amazing, it's like an early version of Flash.

[2damax010101]

yea =)

[XanderX84]

One animator to make a full length CGI movie!? I don't think so!

[philipnova798]

Damn straight!

[mycollegeshirt]

@XanderX84 actually some guy actually set out to do just that couple of years back, independent on a mac, dont know if he finished, but i saw part of it and it was not bad

[faunflynn]

@XanderX84 Alas this has already been done.

[sompret]

@XanderX84

You can never underestimate the power of one person. Be cautious, yes, but never dismiss the idea.

[Dark3000Iight]

why does everyone say teaot and this all has to do with clcokwork in roblox lol XD jk

[SonAvitch]

At 7:21 what is the name of the experimental video and who made it? I ask because I cant seem to find it searching like I have.

[Neuroplasm]

The film was called 'Fiat Lux' and was created by Paul Debevec, if you google his name his homepage is the 1st on the list. For some reason youtube won't allow me to post the URL

[Neuroplasm]

forgot to mention, the animation can be downloaded from his website along with others he's worked on :)

[DGMRuadeil]

@SonAvitch An interresting detail is that nvidia used the background of that video in one of their opengl shader demo's

[joecassara]

Like most computer related documentaries on Discovery, this one is short sighted and incomplete, but still earns a "B-". Use this video as a "springboard" for your own independent, more complete research.

[Neuroplasm]

Heres information about the original documentary, hope it helps :) Program was Called 'Science Of Animation' Aired On Discovery Science Recorded to DVD 27th December 2005 Produced by 'Tiger Aspect Productions' For Discovery Networks Europe c Discovery Communications Europe 2005 The program also follows three british animators who try to make their 1st animated film short Ben Lock - 'Elroy' Andy Bean - 'If I had a hammer' Dan Lane - 'Two Fellas'

[login001login001]

whats the film called, I want to get an original

[adrastea99]

HURR

[tonesmash]

[NameNotaNumber]

Great vid, it's not often one hears the word "boffins" any more.

[ALAKD3LTA221]

The 1982 Disney movie Tron was one of the first films to ever use computer graphics.

[Dk69pt]

I always wanted to see something like this documentary :P

<3 it

5/5
