Re https://mastodon.social/@mcc/112837388740976931 , there's actually a ton of fascinating stuff happening around this film
- This 6-minute video took *3 years* to make
- The artist is the same guy who did the 3D-rendered Death Star "hologram" in the original Star Wars
- The computer used to make it is interesting by itself, the Datamax UV-1 or "Z-Box". It was designed by the University of Illinois and they somehow talked Bally/Midway into making some. Sources seem to disagree on how many were made or if any were sold
