And Now a Word from Our Sponsor...!

After lengthy and comprehensive negotiations, ENCOM International, "the World’s #1 Software Provider" has agreed to sponsor E82 – The Epcot Legacy! As part of this partnership, E82 will provide additional coverage of all products and services. Encom executives have assured me that the core focus and vision of E82 will not in any way be altered or changed because of the sponsorship.

I for one am excited about the many possibilities that this partnership can provide. The History of Encom and the History of Epcot have always been intertwined since the construction of the park. Founded in 1972, Encom Computers, provided many of the computer systems and controller units for many EPCOT Center attractions. Most notability, ENCOM provided many Computer Generated Effects for the Climax of Universe of Energy - and ENCOM also developed a demonstration of its famous digitizing effect that was later used at part of World of Motion’s SpeedRoom Finale.

IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE, expect to see a lot more coming from Encom International & E82 – The Epcot Legacy!

Earlier this week, I received an email from a company expressing interest in sponsoring the E82 Project for unspecified length of time. The Project has always been transparent in its developments so I’m sharing the information as it becomes available. This maybe the start of something special for E82...

Mr. Harris,

Over the past several months we have been watching your progress of your blog. Although we believe that the overall quantity of your work is less than satisfactory, we have been impressed with what little product we’ve seen. Your personal style and reinterpretation early
1980s icons are of particular interest to our company.

We are currently gearing-up for a major product release and would appreciate any assistance you could provide our marketing and design teams. In turn, we are prepared to engage in limited sponsorship of your blog.

Please contact us at your earliest convenience, with a response. If you express interest our legal teams will contact you with the specific terms of our sponsorship.

Thank You for
Consideration,
Markus Grenwald
V.P. of Marketing

The Return of the Captain

Inspired by the final logo seen in the film, this 4th Desktop in the E82 Project is a tribute to the return of the 1980s classic. Its vivid colors and high-gloss treatments are evocative of early computer animation as well as the heavily special effects driven work of ILM during the height of the “Optical Effects Era”.






Fun Fact: The ending logo for the film was the most expensive effects shot and was also the last effect completed for the movie. It's also the only Computer Generated Image in the film.
