  • A Brief History of Computer Animation: 1942-1963
    Over the next few months we are going to be producing a series of videos on the history of computer animation. To begin, we’re going to be looking at the medium’s infancy between the years 1942 and 1963. We will see the work of James and John Whitney, Russell Kirsch’s first digital image, and the early innovations of Ivan Sutherland and Bell Labs. Also included is a quick history of animation, from the Palaeolithic period to the German abstract movement of the 1920s.

    I had no idea that computer animation went back so far. My mind is blown!

    These animations look very modern, I wouldn't have thought they were from the 1920's-40's!

    Your videos that I've seen so far, this and "remember the calming aesthetic of the 1990s" are some premium quality stuff! Keep up the good work.
    This video alone has opened my eyes up to a while history of animation and vintage aesthetics I never knew existed. Thank you!

    this and part 2 are more or less like an abridged version of my 'history of media art' class my freshman year of college (minus all the performance/video-art stuff, but still). super awesome

    Hi! Sorry, just a quick doubt- What's the difference between the first computer-generated animation and the first digital animation? Isn't John Whitney's work considered digital?
    (also lovely, LOVELY series)

    Animations yes but not all created with computers

  • @rickriffel6246
    @rickriffel6246 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Those animations done in 1942 had nothing to do with computers. What ever digital devices had existed then were not capable of visual graphics. However, these 1942 films must have been hand-made with the utilization of mathematics and geometry.

    • @k.umquat8604
      @k.umquat8604 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Those animations were done by *analog* computers,not digital ones.Analog computers had already existed for a century by then.
