(1977) The computer graphics for the first Star Wars film was created by Larry Cuba in the 1970s at the Electronic Visualization Laboratory (EVL) (at the time known as the Circle Graphics Habitat) at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Did they say 2000 frames? That's more than I would have thought. Even so, 67 hours isn't that much, if you can render 24/7. I really don't think this should take more than 2 weeks, not counting reshoots.On the other hand... Every time I assess the time required to complete a project at work, I seriously underestimate how long it will take. So I'm probably wrong here too.

Awesome video! Just imagine - instead of drawing everything in 3D Max or Maya, he programs(!) everything by himself! I really like his rotary controllers/dials. I would like one for myself :)

What is even MORE amazing than this is how incredibly awesome the rest of the movie looks, without using cgi AT ALL. It's literally the benchmark that everything since then has aspired to. Much film FX even today fails to be one tenth as convincing as what they did back then with rail cameras, styrene and strings.

What's funny about this is that it looks almost plausible, as a plan view, even today. Also, the fact that as primitive as the hardware was, at the time it was absolutely bleeding edge. This was an astounding achievement, and 30 years ago isn't such a long time...
