wow

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

R. I. P Descanse en paz Señor Rusell. Lo siento mucho. Gracias por su aportación a la ciència.

Wish there were more videos like this. Only 16,852 views? Highly underrated.

The Whitney Brothers started work on Five Film Excercises 1 in 1939.

This is great, thanks for making such a quality program, loved the vertigo credits work, awesome to see where it lies on the timeline.

I just learned more in 7 minutes than I did in 2 years of design college.

listen, this is crazy good, I can't believe you don't have more subscribers.

1942 Wow some people where very forward thinking.

I’m just starting this series, but it’s fantastic so far!

Oh, and I was lucky enough to know John Whitney (he was a teacher at UCLA at the time when I had my small video studio in LA - he was an influence)

This is one of my biggest interests. Thank you so much

Amazing video, I learned a lot. Thanks a lot for your effort.

Well done, very informative.

amazing information. thank you very much

0:31 what is the name of that animation? Seen it as a music video before but i never got a source. Looks amazing! Also great and informative video!

Underrated af 😕

RIP RUSSELL KIRSCH.

Helped alot with my assignment

Great job, I'll be saving/adding this to my channel. This part 1 of 4, of the introduction to CG history (noted for first time viewers). *Addendum, there are many reference links in the bibliography, see the full description of the video.

Did you include Michael Noll Computer Ballet?

Hi! I really enjoy the vídeo. Im doing a school work. Can you tell me what are your references?

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)

Is Ivan Sutherland related to the Sutherland from Evans and... here in Utah, in Salt Lake City?

If anyone wants to know the song in the intro here it is: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ab-ll7OYnMnGgmg.html

Animations yes but not all created with computers

Wayang

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.

Good thing you can slow down the video. This guy talks way too fast.

And today, with people already living in their smartphones still believe, this world ist real.., Or laughing about the Simulation Theory. :D
