These were mostly embossed foil, although a few were photopolymer, like this Terminator Boxed Set.

I had the good fortune to work with Craig Newswanger at Applied Holographics on many of these projects.

The “Alias – More than teapots” hologram was made for Siggraph 89. This was one of the first 3D rendered holograms ever made.

The work was mostly done on SGI Personal Iris PI-20 computers running Alias 2.0, which was very high tech for the time.

I have lots of these holograms, and they are pretty hard to photograph. Here are a few samples.

I haven’t seen the film, so I can’t comment.

I also had the good fortune to drive the vehicle. The pickup was amazing, and it was utterly silent. Awesome ride.

Below are links to the QuickTime VR movies of the EV1 which I created. I have the source files, film, and video from the shoot, so someday I may create a higher resolution version of this project.

On a geek note, the QuickTime VR files for this project were assembled into a standalone application which was authored with mTropolis. Unfortunately, the presentation will no longer run on a modern Mac or PC (gotta love progress). So most of the “coolness” for that project is gone forever. But the images and animations still exist…

I still have the film on this, so it would be fun to rescan it and stitch a new movie. If anyone is interested, let me know.
