Bafflingly Advanced Animation Made on Apple IIe

Pete Mortensen (8:25 pm PDT, Jun 18 2007)

Most of the time, we like to believe our computers have significantly advanced over the last 20 years. But some things remind us little has changed.

Take the video above. Created by James Leathem on an Apple IIe, it creates 3-D renders too complex for the actual machine. Since the computer couldn’t play the animation itself, Leathem shot each frame individually and pieced them together as a continuous stop-motion animation.

Simply incredible.
