The Story of Computer Graphics
to its widely accepted role as an important communication tool, Computer Graphics has a rich history of human accomplishment. This movie attempts to document some of the most compelling stories behind the striking graphics and technology that we take for granted in today's imagery. This is the "human" story of the pioneers that are revolutionizing visual communication, through a community with its own unique culture. |

at SIGGRAPH 99, Los Angeles, in High-Definition Television (HDTV) format.
"...(one) segment alone could serve as a five minute graphics primer for every school in the country...
many of the graphics are just eye-popping..."
The Stars:
"Lots of computers and nearly 50 graphics pioneers who have coaxed magic from the machine."
The Hollywood Reporter (8/4/99):
"The high definition footage creates a notably intimate environment,
and the opening and closing computer animation sequences provide
a fitting package for a story that potentially will never end."
