Dolphin Productions 1974 demo reel

This is a 4-minute demo reel of TV commercials, logos, and graphics created by Dolphin Productions of New York, circa 1974. The material was created with their in-house "Scanimate" computer, outputting analog graphics to monitors which were then rephotographed and keyed using conventional 1970s video switchers. Given the primitive working conditions of that era, the images are surprisingly sophisticated and colorful, and created some very memorable graphics for their time, some of which hold up even today.

YES!!! 1:21 I totally remember that. That's when I learned to love that SOUND in the background (which I later learned was a teletype machine). Total good memories. Warm fuzzy analog video and sound.

[@sherryhannah498]

interesting to see '70s commercials logos graphics made before there was computers...does anyone know where KCFM was????!!!..I like that kind of music relaxing music they played

[@EberKlaushartinger]

Computers have been there for a long Time!

[@OofusTwillip]

Computers had existed for quite a while before the 1970s, and the earliest computer graphics experiments took place in the late 1960s.
Scanimate animation was used on the original "The Electric Company"---which is where the kids of my generation first saw it.

[@whatdidoursurveysay]

To answer your question, KCFM was in St. Louis, Missouri when that logo was made. Today it's known as KSD.

[@MichaelBadger-vp2my]

These were made with computers. Analog computers.

That's the worm logo, so this might have been 1975.
