Title
A computer animation movie language for educational motion pictures
Abstract
The value of motion picture films as an effective teaching aid has been long established. In recent years, preliminary efforts have demonstrated the feasibility of producing animated films by means of a digital computer in conjunction with a microfilm recorder. A block diagram of the computer animation movie process is indicated in Figure 1. A programming language is used to translate the motion picture script into a computer program. The program, usually in the form of a deck of cards, is processed by the digital computer which generates a magnetic tape output for input to the microfilm recorder. The recorder, containing a cathode ray tube and motion picture camera, produces an exposed roll of film that is then developed to yield the finished motion picture.
