I saw a clip from this short film in the very early 80s on an edition of the BBC documentary show "Horizon" that dealt with the nascent computer animation industry.

I was truly stunned by it and decided that computer animation, whatever it was, was the thing that I wanted to do with my life. The images in the piece have stayed fresh in my mind ever since that day.

25 years or so later that's exactly what I am doing! These days it is so easy to churn out incredible images, but this film really achieved something special with a medium so difficult to use at the time that most of the practitioners had degrees in rocket science!
