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:
“Every now and then, when you’re on stage, you hear the best sound a player can hear. It’s a sound you can’t get in movies or in television. It is the sound of a wonderful, deep silence that means you’ve hit them where they live.”
—Shelley Winters (b. 1922)
“When we walk the streets at night in safety, it does not strike us that this might be otherwise. This habit of feeling safe has become second nature, and we do not reflect on just how this is due solely to the working of special institutions. Commonplace thinking often has the impression that force holds the state together, but in fact its only bond is the fundamental sense of order which everybody possesses.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“to become a pimp
Or deal in fake jewelry or ruin a fine tenor voice
For effects that bring down the house could happen to all
But the best and the worst of us . . .”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
