A friend's father was involved with making these early computer animations. The soundtrack alone is a study in mid 1970's culture, the images are iconic to those of us who grew up with them, but the contribution to the history of both computers and advertising are unparalleled. Ont this, the day of his passing, may these images be shared and enjoyed forever.

You could achieve similar effects with some clever shader works. Might be one of the easier effects to write GLSL shaders from. Its basic is modern shader's 2D Texcoord manipulation.

These days the entire scanimate machine, fully analog and running at 1080p (150MHz pixel clock) from an SDI HD source would fit into a briefcase - and that’s still full analog built out of discrete chips. Op amps are tiny and fast. There are even ways of getting rid of the CRT screen used for rendering and instead use addressable low dispersion recirculating delay lines (admittedly a few hundred of them, and they’d need to be waveguides so not cheap, but still). The user interface with all the knobs and buttons would be bigger than the “guts” of it. So if someone wanted to pay for it, it could be recreated in a form usable in a modern studio, with larger dynamic range, and with more powerful effects such as texture and bump mapping - shaders can be analog, after all, and doing 3D graphics with analog fragment shading is not a big deal. With a few more briefcases of stuff you could have an analog machine that could render Doom, in an entirely analog fashion, with procedural textures (read: user defined 2D function generators aka knobs for tweaking Fourier coefficients). In short: not only we could achieve it today, but it could be massively more useful. And with a custom analog asic or two, you could render basic game console graphics, with geometry and texture data fed in via digital potentiometers and nothing else (thousands of them, but on a chip they are no big deal). I’d go as far as claiming that low power ultra-mobile game consoles could do graphics and lots of game engine physics in an analog fashion with much less power use than digital computers with GPUs. An 8x8 CMOS digital multiplier uses about as many transistors as dozens of good analog multipliers. And the latter will be faster as well. There are ways of merging digital “housekeeping” and analog signal processing at chip scale that can produce modern GPUs at a fraction of the power use. Even analog memories are much denser than DRAM. And so on. The analog future is bright.

My father was Francis Honey, VP of Computer Image Corporation and lead engineer. This was my childhood in the sixties through 1972, when Dad left. I didn't see any, here, but they also did work with the Smothers Brothers, Sesame Street (Jim Henson came to our house for dinner, once, and I have two photos of him with Dad and the CI team), Electric Company, Frank Zappa, Coca Cola. Dad met with Ringo Starr when the Beatles were looking at CI for a film or music videos. Unfortunately, the business people thought they should ask for the moon $$$$ ("It's the Beatles!!!") and so the thing fell through. Dad would take us down to the offices for private screenings of their latest work. Those were exciting times ... Jim Henson, Smothers Brothers, Frank Zappa!!!

The surprising thing about a lot of these images is that they used a lot of ANALOG video cameras and disc recorders in order to create them, which they kept secret from their clients. Far fewer computers were used than a lot of people might believe. It was (almost literally) a lot of smoke & mirrors. But the results were often amazing, especially for 40+ years ago.

Yes indeed, they first had to create/distorb those monochromatic images on a scanimate system then colorize it via an analogue colorizer, then they had to record those images via a video camera trough a teleceline process, for more layers,they had to repeat that process and then mix those recordings together via an analogue mixer together, wich was a painfull trial on error and long process,but the results speaches for their selfes, this is amezing mind blowing stuff shown here.

Clients supplied the logos and most of the other visuals. The "scan" part in Scanimate implies just that: scanning and filming materials before having them processed by an analogue computer system, often combining the output with other animation techniques for varied results (traditional film, stop animation, chroma keying etc). As unwieldy as it was, the process itself was no secret. On the contrary, the achievements of the system, from before its inception right to its commercial demise, were extensively reported by specialist publications at the time. Given that there were less than a dozen of such machines in the whole world at the height of Scanimate's popularity, and only two have survived to this day (one of them fully operational and adapted to modern times, i.e. able to communicate with modern workstations), the animation produced is that more unique.

The "6 O'Clock Movie" with the circle 7 was for KABC in Los Angeles, which used it up to 1971 when the Prime Time Access Rule forced it up a half-hour as "The 6:30 Movie." Notice this station didn't use Walter Raim's "Big Show Theme" as used by WABC's "4:30 Movie" (but I ask, what did KABC use?). As for the theme of WPIX's "Harper News," they would use it on-and-off through 1977 when they first adopted the "Move Closer to Your World" theme for what after 1974 became "Action News."

it was crasy. Basically an analog frame grabber, and many opamps, were able to render a video signal from a camera into a vector graphic, which could easily be "modified". This was then scanned back into video, and then color could be processed. This was sent to tape, and there you go.

This video proves that people in their early-mid 40's are still young. In 1975, a 43 year old would have been born in 1932, and would have probably been middle aged by then. My aunt was born in 1977 and is a grandmother. It's a real mind-f*** seeing this video and knowing that someone wasn't even conceived when it was made, was born, had a kid, who then went on to have a kid of his own. It also screws with my mind to know that if I had been my current age when this was made, I'd be 69 now. The standard retirement age is 65. Here I am, a senior in college, wondering WTF am I going to with my life and yet if I was almost 26 at the time this was made I'd probably be retired. Let me go scream - how TF is that even possible? The guillotine was still being used in France when this was made. Go look at Halcyon Hall at the Bennett School for Girls in NY - that place is a collapsing death trap, and when this was made it was still being used. My dad had a 1977 Scout SUV that had lap belts and a metal dashboard - that postdates this video. This video is 43 years old, and the effects in it are beyond impressive and have aged very well. I was born in 1992 and a lot of the things on TV didn't look this advanced even then. So upbeat! December 1, 2018 4:50 am

@@benjnavarro28 The CBS Special Presentation graphic at 11:45 came out in 1970, I think, and was already out of use by 1975, having been replaced by the famous "rotating" logo in 1973. Also, if you did the same calculation, I'm now 30 and this video is now 47 years old, so I'd be 77 if I were my current age when this was made, and into my 80s if I were my current age when some of these logos (like the aforementioned CBS Special Presentation) were made! It's sort of depressing to watch '60s/'70s stuff and then realize that if I had actually been an adult to witness that era, I would be elderly now with probably not many years left. But on the same token, it minimizes age differences because me and 80-year-olds have something in common: we were 30-year-olds in a world with computer animation. My grandmother on my dad's side, who now has 3 great-grandchildren, was younger than I am now when this video was made. Computer animation is older than most people think. Most people probably think it came out in very rudimentary form in the 1980s, because that's when computers became affordable for home use. In actuality, there is a computer animation demo reel even older than that Dolphin one; Computer Animation Industries' one from 1972. Some of those animations date back to the late 1960s! And I actually have since found out they offered computer programming classes at the aforementioned Bennett College. They were short-lived and unsuccessful, but the fact they offered COMPUTER PROGRAMMING classes at a college that, as of the time it was torn down last spring, had over half the floors collapsing inside its main building really just does not feel right. The building those classes were actually held in remained structurally stable until it was torn down in September 2021 (as part of the 8-month-long process of tearing the whole abandoned college down) because it had just been built in 1972, but still, the college's main building, Halcyon Hall (a gorgeous, huge building opened in 1893) which was never torched, never hit by a hurricane/tornado, and never extensively vandalized was already most of the way collapsed from natural decay. 1 - Computers are older than we think, they've been prevalent for most living people's entire lives 2 - Natural decay and water damage especially don't move at our timescales. You'll find surprising commonalities with today's things and those in buildings collapsed from natural decay. I've even seen a bowling alley abandoned after I'd already been in my first 2008 or newer Honda Accord that already had a major roof collapse. February 26, 2023 2:14 am

@@benjnavarro28 The TV show that all this makes me instantly nostalgic for is "The Electric Company", the children's show that probably taught me to read. They made heavy use of Scanimate from the beginning, and that show premiered in 1971 (I watched it from the first episode as a small child).

Great montage on computer technology in the 1970’s. The music & graphics really show how much progress has occurred. To think. This is almost fifty years of computer technology on display. If a personal computer in 1976 cost around $1k. How much did this equipment cost for commercial use? I think I found a topic to research this weekend.

Like a scene demo but without computers nice. There is a good tomorrow's world episode here on YT about effects like this but he also talks about 3D stuff too. Actually having said that, I think this uses more crude, but still very cool, techniques like cartoons.
