The World of Robert Abel (1985) (60p)

A retrospective of the work of Robert Abel and Associates, a pioneering commercial computer graphics company that created some of the most iconic early computer-generated imagery. Included here are over 40 commercial spots, ranging from 30-second commercials and commercial logos, to their 1984 animated short "High Fidelity". To put Abel and Associate's work in perspective: By the time Pixar's first short "André and Wally B." debuted in 1984, Abel's company had been producing computer animation for 13 years. Unfortunately, Abel & Associates closed in 1987 following an ill-fated merger with now-defunct Omnibus Computer Graphics, Inc. For more information, consult: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_...
