Computer Movies
Ian O. Angell · 1981
The basic idea behind making computer movies is quite straightforward. Using the methods developed in previous chapters, the programmer produces sequences of 16 mm film; each frame from a sequence will differ slightly from the preceding and succeeding frames. The sequences can then be spliced together as is usual with movie films. When a film is projected, normally at 24 frames per second, the scenes on successive frames merge to give the effect of movement in a computer-produced ‘cartoon’.
