Computer Ballet & Animations

This documentary was made in 1968. It features "the world's first computer ballet" programmed at Bell Telephone Laboratories, Inc. by researcher A. Michael Noll. The commentator observes "Already a number of artists are learning from computer experts to master the techniques which resulted in this film, because they believe computers provide the most exciting possibilities at present available for experimenting with film. ... Films like this, of course, are only pioneer work in a new medium -- a medium where scientists and artists are going to have a lot to offer one another."
Other computer animations shown are from "MAN Title Sequence" (by A. Michael Noll of Bell Telephone Laboratories, Inc.); "Man and His World" (by Kenneth C. Knowlton & Stan VanDerBeek at Bell Telephone Laboratories, Inc.); "Force, Mass, and Motion" (by Frank W. Sinden of Bell Telephone Laboratories, Inc.); Satellite (by Edward E. Zajac of Bell Telephone Laboratories, Inc.); Weather Pattern (Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, Livermore, CA); Sluice Gate (by F. H. Harlow & John Shannon of Los Alamos National Laboratory); Carrier Landing (by William Fetter of Boeing Company); and Stressed Metal Plate.
