computer animation

Developed by Advanced Micro Computer Systems, distributed by Cinematronics, and animated by the Don Bluth Studio, DRAGON’S LAIR uses the laserdisc to accomplish what computer graphics have yet to do, create life-like animation for arcade games.

Take a classic Picasso painting, mix it with Salvador Dali’s melting clocks, combine these in fluid movement, and you have the capability of the latest computer graphics system.

It is common knowledge that the highly labour-intensive visual process of animated film is too expensive, and takes a long time to produce.

But the most satisfactory advance from the visual point of view is the system developed by COMPUTER CREATIONS in South Bend, Indiana, USA.
