birthplace of After Effects: the original Plabt

Todd Kopriva posted a pictures of the original plabt in the birthplace of After Effects. Here's an attempt to peek at 14 Imperial Place, Providence, RI:


This January was the 17th anniversary of the release of After Effects 1.0 (codename Egg). Last year Motionworks posted a PDF of the story of CoSA by After Effects engineer Dave Simons, which was originally published in an edition of Creating Motion Graphics by Chris and Trish Meyer.

A history of AE is also available on Vimeo from the SFMOGRAPH user group meeting in March 2008. Stills from this event and related stuff can be found in previous posts tagged CoSA, including Todd Kopriva posts After Effects 1.1 demo reel, The SF After Effects User’s Group is born! from Paolo Ciccone, and After Effects is 15 (Photoshop is 18), and The After Effects 1 interface.
