ANIMAG TV: Behind the Scenes

Capture01

Check out  the Animation Magazine's Animag TV.  It is a online video library for animations, trailers, and commercials.  This is nothing really new, but the really cool part . . . “The Making of” channel.  The collection is small, but it is still in its infancy.  I think over time it will be a great source for the classroom. 

On Animag TV, I came across the Genesis sequence" from 1982′s Star  Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.  I always knew of its importance, but I have never seen the making of this sequence.   It was the first completely computer-generated sequence in a feature film, created by the Lucasfilm division. It just beat Tron (1982) into release to take the honor of being the first film to use computer-generated images (CGI).  AND the team that created it eventually formed Pixar!  Check it out.
