Digital Productions
Computer Company
Digital Productions was a computer animation company in Los Angeles, California, that produced advertisements and special effects for films in the 1980s. The company was founded by John Whitney, Jr. and Gary Demos in 1982, following their departure from Triple-I. They received financial support from Control Data Corporation. Whitney and Demos felt that greater computer power was needed to produce effects such as those being made by Triple-I for Tron; Digital Productions became famous for using a Cray X-MP supercomputer to render their animations.2 Wikipedia text CC BY-SA 4.0
