We decided to display our first CD-ROM, Connections: The CoSA Journal, at MacWorld Expo in Boston in order to showcase what the software could do. Microsoft Word RTF documents with hyperlink information were "flowed" into a multipage, multicolumn layout, with space for in-line advertisements. Since Macintosh computers were the most advanced multimedia platform at the time, we planned out a system for authoring electronic magazines using Apple's HyperCard and custom plug-ins. The basic premise of CoSA's business plan was to have artists and programmers working side-by-side to produce multimedia content. The master plan was for CoSA to become a world-class content provider for the new electronic age. Twenty years ago, four young and ambitious Brown University graduates - Greg Deocampo, David Foster, David Herbstman, and I, David Simons - sat down with lawyers to incorporate The Company of Science and Art (CoSA), a small start-up in Providence, Rhode Island. To this end, David Simons will help us take a look back at the developments in visual effects, while Steve Forde makes predictions about where he envisions the industry is heading. Every anniversary provides an opportunity to look back and reflect on accomplishments and to make bold plans for years to come.
This year, After Effects celebrates its 20th anniversary.
