Olympiad, d. by Lililan Schwartz and Ken Knowlton (1971)
Based on Eadweard Muybridge's seminal photographic studies of a running man, this short film made in Bell Studios was one of the first ever computer animated films, and was delivered in time for the 1972 Olympics in Munich. For the record, Knowlton wrote the algorithms, and Schwartz edited.
It's worth mentioning that cool looking person Lillian Schwartz is happily still with us, having turned 97 in July. Her continued presence in this world enriches us all.
