J. Micheal Stracznski, the creator of Babylong 5, will speak at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) May 22nd. Babylon 5 was the first television show to use computer generated graphics.
His encounter with computer graphics began in the early 1990’s when Ron Thornton, Foundation Imaging’s visual effects director, started working with the Commodore Amiga and New Tek’s Video Toaster, an add-on graphics card. The creators of Babylon 5 discarded the miniature, physical, static models of Star Trek for new possibilities.
