The Evolution of Visual Effects and motion graphics in TV and film.

Since the dawn of the use of card stock and painting on glass motion graphics have been around, this would let the graphic artist create the title, credits and any other text or images that would of had to been superimposed onto the film, other methods of this were the uses of a rostrum camera, but unfortunately this device wasn't introduced until mid the 1920s. this method of creating he graphics was held for a very long time almost fifty years in fact, so the Computer graphics were being implemented, although this may not have been for film and television just yet, but this was soon to come in many later years experiments with modeling in computer terms this meant that someone would sit at a desk and start creating a model to craft and shape, the most successful example of this was done in the mid 70s where a Mr Ed Catmull, had managed to craft his very own hand into the machine which of course at the time was completely texture less but it had shading and this was astounding for the time it was created this meant that the product of visual effects had much potential to come. ILM a company created by the guys at Apple Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, had really enjoyed the idea of the motion graphics in film and had taken it much further. This had made a revolution in the film industry as by the late 80s more and more company's were using the concept of motion graphics and visual effects to add more variety and magic to films and television shows. By the late 1990s films had been totally edited by digital means this also carried the motion graphics as the intro, titles and credits could all be done in the editing software.
