ABSTRACT

Many two-dimensional animators remained sceptical when computers were introduced. Tony White, a British Academy Award-winning animator, wrote: Without the varied idiosyncrasies of a human personality, the computer is incapable of giving a living spirit to its creations, and this is the secret ingredient of all great animation. While completing his doctorate, Edwin E. Catmull worked on some of first computer-generated experiments that made it into Hollywood film. The Disneyfication of computer graphics began with Pixar and, instead of the stop motion-animated toys of Arthur Melbourne-Cooper, with the computer-generated Toy Story of 1994. There is one main difference between traditional film and computer-generated imagery: for film, the content is decisive: the content of photography or the play that is depicted in moving images. Biomechanics organizations monitored and tracked the human body's motions for medical research. Multiple cameras were synced to a computer to monitor and register the body's motions for medical research.
