Computer graphics in movies has become de rigueur and Catmull has been there since the beginning. He founded three of the leading centers of computer graphics research: The computer graphics laboratory at the New York Institute of Technology; the computer division of Lucasfilm Ltd.; and Pixar Animation Studios.
