Abstract
During the period 1963–1967, a dozen computer films were made at Bell Telephone Laboratories. Apart from Ken Knowlton [1964,1965], the most important computer animators at Bell Labs were:
-
E. Zajac [1966], who made the first computer-animated film Two-gyro gravity-gradient attitude control system in 1963.
-
F. Sinden [1967], who made Force, Mass and Motion, a film that demonstrates Newton’s laws of motion; the programming language was FORTRAN.
-
Huggins and Weiner, who made Harmonic Phasors, a film concerning the composition of complicated periodic waveforms; the film was produced by programming in PMACRO [Alexander and Huggins 1967].
