1985 computer animation on an Apple IIe

Charile writes -

Phil, you should check out this cool Apple II stop motion rig one of my commenters made in the 80's, I think it's right up your alley. He had the computer control the camera and a spinning wheel of color filters. The computer rendered one frame in monochrome for each color of each frame.

I have this issue of this magazine! I remember thinking how cool it was to be able to put computer graphics in a homemade movie.

How far we've come.!

So you're the one!
Yes, the technology has given us 'Shrek', but I don't see any Pentium 4 computer animations on YouTube.
Maybe I'm wrong.
I saw a neat CGI short with giant WWII robots.
The Gamers know what I mean.
Maybe I should post the other 7 minutes.
Part is anaglyphic 3D.
Just a rotating dodecahedron wireframe, but looks ok with the red/blue glasses.
If I can find a decent/affordable Super 8 film to DVD transfer service, I'll post the film 'Asteroid' on YouTube.

Can you MAKE a reccommendation?

I believe that your experiment is amazing... You must be a passionate programmer if you could program that stuff. I have a site on backlinks and i love it as much as you love your programming.
