Chips in Space (Vectrix Computer Graphics) 1984 

Conceived and executed by Ken O'Connell at the University of Oregon. Ken, I'm going to put your name on this, because you should be recognized for this extremely early and beautiful digital animation.

Those freakin synths jesus

Ken! I remember this when it was first produced. 1984, Year of the Mac (we just designed the first Mac facility, in Cupertino)...those were the days! Brilliant work.

Okay. This reminds me of a PS1 demo from 1994/95. The colored squares are really 64 bit.

Very cool and certainly ahead of its time when produced in 1984. Good job!

Chips in Space was invited to show at the Hiroshima Film Festival.

Howdy! I just posted a fresh scan of a 16mm I did on my Apple //e in the mid 1980s. It's the built-in video except using a monochrome monitor, multiple exposure, color filters and stop motion. See my flickr account (same name). There's a magazine article and several photos of the camera interface.

Amusing to me, 0:54 just happens to be very similar to one of my very first OpenGL attempts while I was learning long time ago, same 8 * 8 * 8 objects repeat, with same colors, but cubes instead of squares. When I show the thumbnail, I jumped :)

I enjoyed this!

The music sounds very similar to Upper Astral’s Journey To The Edge Of The universe.

"CHIIIIIIIIPS......IIIIIIIIIIIINNNN.......SPAAAAAACE!" (a la The Muppet Show)

v a p o r w a v e Let me stop before i get yelled at. This is really cool though it shows just how far computers have advanced.
