Use in Movies and Special Effects
An Evans and Sutherland computer was used in the creation of the Project Genesis simulation sequence in Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan, which was one of the first computer graphic sequences ever used in a movie. NBC would later use an Evans and Sutherland for its 1984-1985 promotional campaign "Let's All Be There!", as well as subsequent campaigns, concluding with the 1989-1990 season promotional campaign "Come Home to the Best!".

Famous quotes containing the words movies, special and/or effects:
“Now here this, now here this. Reveille. I repeat, reveille. Attention all hands. Because another cigarette butt has been found in the container of the Captain’s palm tree, there will be no movies again tonight. That is all.”
—Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)
“The universal social pressure upon women to be all alike, and do all the same things, and to be content with identical restrictions, has resulted not only in terrible suffering in the lives of exceptional women, but also in the loss of unmeasured feminine values in special gifts. The Drama of the Woman of Genius has too often been a tragedy of misshapen and perverted power.”
—Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)
“Each of us, even the lowliest and most insignificant among us, was uprooted from his innermost existence by the almost constant volcanic upheavals visited upon our European soil and, as one of countless human beings, I can’t claim any special place for myself except that, as an Austrian, a Jew, writer, humanist and pacifist, I have always been precisely in those places where the effects of the thrusts were most violent.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
