ABSTRACT
Selected examples of computer animated film production systems are analyzed in regard to usefulness for student projects, commercial film production and graphic research. No system seems ideal for all of these purposes and the most sophisticated systems inhibit a "collaborative" relationship with the computer, especially regarding images that relate to mathematics, science, or aesthetic spin-offs from these fields. A minimal system of bateh mode computing with microfilm output is described.

The computer animated film: A dynamic cartography
ACM '73: Proceedings of the ACM annual conferenceIn the mid 1960's it became evident that the computer animated film offered great potential for developments in the field of cartography. The following example is a realization of that perception. Traffic crash coordinate data from Washtenaw County ...
Animated feather coats using field lines
AFRIGRAPH '07: Proceedings of the 5th international conference on Computer graphics, virtual reality, visualisation and interaction in AfricaThe tedious task of manually placing feathers on computer animated objects involves aligning feathers, ensuring that they do not insect each other or penetrate the surface, deforming every feather to match the local surface features, and ensuring that ...
