Here is some additional information about finding computer animation on the SIGGRAPH Video Review (SVR). SIGGRAPH publishes videotapes on a variety of subjects related to computer graphics. We have released 50 issues since 1980 and cover each of the SIGGRAPH conferences from then 'til now (SIGGRAPH'89 will be available "real soon now" . . .). Several CHI conferences (the conference on human-computer interaction) are also available. Video tapes are available in NTSC format on 3/4- inch U-Matic tapes or 1/2-inch VHS tapes. VHS tapes normally contain 2 1-hour issues. A few selected issues are available in PAL format. In the future, I'll post a summary of the videotapes and a table of contents as each issue is released. For people interested in computer animation, the SIGGRAPH'88 film and video show would be an ideal place to start. The best of SIGGRAPH'88 animation screen room would be a close second. Here are the recent titles published in the last year (each is 1 hour in length) ------------ SVR 35: Visualization: State of the Art -- Update SVR 36: SIGGRAPH'87 Film and Video Show SVR 37: SIGGRAPH'88 Animation Screening Room SVR 38: SIGGRAPH'88 Film and Video Show (1 of 2) SVR 39: SIGGRAPH'88 Film and Video Show (2 of 2) SVR 40: Interactive Artists and Video Artists (1 of 2) SVR 41: Interactive Artists and Video Artists (2 of 2) SVR 42: Visualization in Scientific Computing (1 of 2) SVR 43: Visualization in Scientific Computing (2 of 2) SVR 44: Volume Visualization/State of the Art SVR 45: CHI89 Video Program (1 of 4) SVR 46: CHI89 Video Program (2 of 4) SVR 47: CHI89 Video Program (3 of 4) SVR 48: CHI89 Video Program (4 of 4) SVR 49: Visualization in Scientific Computing (1 of 2) SVR 50: Visualization in Scientific Computing (2 of 2) ------------ SIGGRAPH Video Review tapes may be ordered through the ACM: ACM Order Department PO Box 64145 Baltimore, MD 21264 (800)342-6626 (301)528-4261 Richard J.
