John Whitney "Catalog" 1961
Loading...
Uploaded by crystalsculpture2 on Aug 5, 2007
John Whitney's demo reel of work created with his analog computer/film camera magic machine he built from a WWII anti-aircraft gun sight. Also Whitney and the techniques he developed with this machine were what inspired Douglas Trumbull (special fx wizard) to use the slit scan technique on 2001: A Space Odyssey

The soundtrack is by Ornette Coleman. Whitney had a knack for picking great music for his animations.

as beautiful as ever

Whitney's work is the 'bible' for modern graphic art in animation. Fractals as a focus in animation did not truly take it's place until about the 1980s. Once the fractal 'took off' a lot of things became possible or easier but you can see the effect Whitney had when you watch You Tube for old network TV promes- ABC Movie Of The Week is a great example, A lot of great 'digital looking video was made this way.
I for one mourn the days when such creativity was a requirement, not an option.

If you like Whitney, then you may enjoy my stuff, too. My work & style are very much based on his ideas.

1961 was a few years before all that, ya know. It was basically still 1950s culture. People in 1961 who viewed this probably said "Golly! That's neat!" =P
