Trivia:
Edward Zajac directed and produced one of the first computer generated films at Bell Labs in 1963, which demonstrated that a satellite could be stabilized to always have a side facing the Earth as it orbited.
The frames were programmed in FORTRAN and generated by a mainframe computer IBM 7090 (since 1959). A Stromberg-Carlson 4020 Microfilm Recorder (made by General Dynamics/Electrics, San Diego/California, since 1959) presented and stored results.
