The actual technology was "Caesar" which was a digital successor to Scanimate. It's really rare to see examples of cartoons made with it since it never really commercially took off.

Oh hey, it's past the Winter Solstice. That means it's officially acceptable to tell stories about the #Navajo trickster Coyote.

A handful of cartoons made in Navajo in the 70's using (at the time) cutting-edge #SCANIMATE technology resembling later Flash-style computer animation.

While I do love me some Optical Printer action. I do wonder if some of those visuals instead was made with a Scanimate?

What may the VOP be?

Think of it as a modern day Scanimate... Uh... Optical Printer... Uh... Slit Scan Animation Device (soon)... Uhm..

Look. You move an image in 3D space, show that movement on an HDMI screen while a real camera does long exposures capturing its movement. Over and over again.
AHHH! The Multidimensional VOP is finally revived!

This animation is made with 3 exposures and one PNG put through 5 keyframes in the VOP prototype.

The keyframing is so far linear. But it'll have to do for now. I have other things I want to add to the prototype.

“THE LAST ANALOG MOTION GRAPHICS MACHINE
If you saw moving animation on a TV screen in the 70s and 80s, it was more than likely made on a Scanimate. Only about 10 were ever made, and the digital revolution in the late 80s made them obsolete after a decade”

On the other hand, here's peak Scanimate. I have never taken shrooms but I think I get the gist.

And I also remembered that they were basically pioneers of video synthesis (e.g. their use of Scanimate for the "Let's Groove" video in 1981) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lrle...

Scanimate was an anlogue motion graphics system, popular in the 1970s, and responsible for a specific aesthetic now lost to time.

This is entirely non-digital computing.
Here's a video of a Scooby-Doo episode being created on a scanimate computer. This is considered to be the EARLIEST form of bone-rigged/puppet animation, decades before Flash and Toon Boom were created.
