Robert Abel and Associates (RA&A) was a pioneering production company specializing in television commercials made with computer graphics. Robert Abel's company, RA&A was especially known for their art direction and won many Clio Awards. Abel and his team created some of the most advanced and impressive computer-animated works of their time, including full ray-traced renders and fluid character animation at a time when such things were largely unknown. A variety of high-profile television advertisements, graphics sequences for motion pictures (including ''The Andromeda Strain'' and ''Tron''), and work on laserdisc video games such as ''Cube Quest'', put Abel and his team on the map in the early 1980s. Many people who worked at RA&A went on to other ground-breaking projects, including the founding of Wavefront Technologies, Rhythm and Hues Studios and other studios. Many RA&A people went on to win Academy Awards. RA&A was on the southwest corner of Highland Avenue and Romaine in the heart of Hollywood, California. The company was also notable on its work for The Jacksons' 1981 music video "Can You Feel It." RA&A closed in 1987 following an ill-fated merger with now-defunct Omnibus Computer Graphics, Inc., a company which had been based in Toronto. ==External links== * *(The Bob Abel Project ) *(Rob Abel info at OSU ) *(A demo reel of work from 1982 ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Robert Abel and Associates」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
