It's a case of the technical restrictions inspiring someone. There wasn't a lot you could do easily with the processing power and algorithms available so he made the most of what he'd got.

I know this is revolutionary but wtf was this guy thinking?

[zombyzapper]

Sometimes a man like Ed comes along, paints hyper-realistic Sci-Fi mag covers AND gets into animation long before the computer, only to watch computer animation pale by comparison. Idea men like Emshwiller are far and few between.

He was very well liked at Cal Arts, a place that embraced his vision and work too!

Holy crap, you are a freak!...

You can't just beat this Iron Man and Avatar fanboys for ther ignorance and stupidy. Boy, they would gladly eat CGI animated shit if Cameron or Jackson was serving it.

i think i've just been hypnotised

[NuGanjaTron]

Holy crap, this is freaky! You just can't beat vintage CGI for abstraction and artistic merit. Boy, does CGI suck these days....

[Philflash]

I remember seeing this in Bayville, NY when IMAC was there and I had met Mr. Emshwiller!

[Marco Buonvino]

Made in 1979?! Incomparable work..

(there is also the basis for the idea by Mac/Linux of the multiple Desktop! Maybe they got inspiration by this animation?)

todays animation is nothing compared to this
