The original computations were fed into the computer via punch cards, then the output was printed onto microfilm using the General Dynamics Electronics Stromberg-Carlson 4020 microfilm recorder. Zajac programmed the calculations in FORTRAN, then used a program written by Zajac’s colleague, Frank Sinden, called ORBIT. Zajac made, and narrated, the film, which is considered to be possibly the very first computer graphics film ever. This film was a specific project to define how a particular type of satellite would move through space. Now that I have a retina display, I want a screensaver that looks as good as this 1963 AT&T microfilm video: J First Computer Graphics Film at T Satellite Our technique enables a number of applications such as clearer motion visualization, simpler creation of artistic cinemagraphs (photos that include looping motions in some regions), and new ways to edit appearance and complicated motion paths in video by manipulating a de-animated representation. We therefore use a graph-cut-based optimization to composite the warped video regions with still frames from the input video we also optionally loop the output in a seamless manner. However, such warps may introduce unnatural motions in previously motionless areas, such as background regions.
The user draws strokes to indicate the regions of the video that should be immobilized, and our algorithm warps the video to remove the large-scale motion of these regions while leaving finer-scale, relative motions intact. We present a semi-automated technique for selectively de-animating video to remove the large-scale motions of one or more objects so that other motions are easier to see. Another SIGGRAPH, another mind-bending example of video being freed from linear time - Jiamin Bai, Aseem Agarwala, Maneesh Agrawala, and Ravi Ramamoorthi’s Selectively De-Animating Video:
