COLLECTION DESCRIPTION

The collection contains digital files, created by Chris Pelkie, of videotapes and DVDs from the Cornell Theory Center Visualization Group. The earliest tape is probably from 1988, and the most recent visualization movies (not necessarily tape) are from 2008. For the most part, these are scientific visualizations, i.e., graphics produced from numeric data. Most represent either/or time series or motion sequence (rotation, for example) of the visualized phenomena. There are a few live action videos, shot of the visualization studio or at trade shows or workshops, etc. Some of the more highly produced videos include narration and/or music beds. Many are silent. Most have titles/credits/attributions.

ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY

Clients of the Visualization Group were researchers (faculty, grad students, some undergrads, some corporate) of the Cornell Theory Center or CNSF (Cornell National Supercomputer Facility). Copyright notices, when present, usually attribute copyright to Cornell University. Copies were almost certainly given to the principal investigators in every case; other copies may have been distributed to other interested parties. The group ceased operations in 2008.

Chris Pelkie was the Scientific Visualization Producer for the group.
