digg.com ran a feature tonight called If David Lynch directed Dirty Dancing... which (I was surprised to see) began with a :05 animation of a logo for Vestron Pictures that I worked on back in the 80's.
I thought I had a clipping from a trade magazine called Computer Pictures, so for fun I dug it up.
We ran that thing on a Cray supercomputer - and, yes, that's the originator of the Perlin Noise Function as one of the TD's.

...and interestingly, given the recent resurgence in interest in TRON, Jan Carlee, Christine Chang, Ken Perlin and Josh Pines (not mentioned above, but should have been) were all on the original TRON cg animation crew at MAGI
