Does anyone have the complete 1972 Synthavision demo presentation (made for the advertising industry), which they included part of on the Tron special edition laserdisc and later on the DVD and Blu-Ray? It's the one with the talking purple round thing saying "Guess where I came from? A computer!" I'd love to see that film in its entirety.

Look up "Synthavision" on "Google books." There's an article that talks about this movie in a "Popular Science magazine." It dates back to the early 70s.

I read that this was made sometime in 1971

I wonder what the render times for each frame were?

Do you know what year this was generated exactly?
Awesome bit of history here. This was done on computers slower than the slowest cellphone you can buy today.

The narrator to this is Peter Thomas, of the show "Nova" on PBS.
