It's not the future I love. It's its minimalist, zonked out, misconception on the '80.
It fascinates me. Kinda like watching educational videos about sex from the '50. An experience so in discrepancy with reality it becomes deliciously deviant.

I LOVE THE FUTURE

@pHr33kAcHu Vector animation pretty much disappeared as an art form all its own by the early 1990s, which is a shame. Con continued working on "vector fill" techniques in later versions of the software though even though raster techniques were taking over commercial CGI. Colored vector animation, like optical printer animation, is now basically a lost art. Thankfully, every now and again, you still see its influence.

@perfectseanie Awesome! :3

@pHr33kAcHu No, but I got to know and work with several of the folks that did which was a dream come true. I also got to use the very E&S workstation that was used for this and many other beautiful pieces done at Robert Abel & Associates and Abel Image Research. Con Pederson had already ported his A-Pix vector modeling and animation software to SGI (B-Pix) when I was trained on it but they still had the E&S. It was so scifi!

@perfectseanie Did you make this? It's beautiful!

According to some article I read, this was meant to depict the Japanese coup de grace to America's TV manufacturing biz. Panasonic pwns Quasar.

Actually, there's no rendering involved. The E&S Picture System used to create this was very fast at manipulating vector images and geometry. The time consuming part was photographing each frame off the monitor multiple times with separate gels for all the color layers since it's a black and white display.
