+x=usr(1536) Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Interesting. I'd heard rumours about this existing, but this is the first I've actually seen footage of it. Thanks! Late edit: didn't realise it right away, but that's the same Richard Taylor who did the digital effects for Star Trek: The Motion Picture and Tron. He also was responsible for the well-known 'Juggler' animation: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I remember that "oh this will be FUN!" part as a snippet from a CG graphics montage that was part of a PBS computer animation special I taped back in the 80s. They also featured the priest's murder scene from "Young Sherlock Holmes" & an animation sequence by college students of a disembodied pair of gloves & a top hat shooting pool. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
