Well as far as DEC goes, they're pretty cool. The pdp 11 was responsible for both CP/M and UNIX, which as you probably know, is now windows and ubuntu. Pretty far out stuff, huh? And yet the desktops of today's power is squandered. So very badly...
Ha, look how old my comment is. I probably said this to look smart. But really? It only took a DEC to drive this? Wow. Makes the cray look all powerful and stuff.
This is actually Information International, Inc.'s 1982 sampler. The juggler's name is Adam Powers, after one of the producers of this film. III later did animation for Tron. The Mercedes logo at 0:18 is NOT intended to be subliminal; the animations here were cropped from a longer reel in which III showcased some of their clients, and the MB logo was in there as a result of bad editing. The teapot at 0:42 has significance--a teapot was the first object to have a CGI model created.
Very nice. It reminds me of the old Amiga computers and the software that drove them. If this was created in 1981, what computer system drove this animation? Some sort of primitive IBM with time lapse?
