The Emulsifilter process is done by Acme Animation (I kid you not. Does
Wile E. Cayote buy from them?) I saw that demo as part of a SIGGRAPH demo
reel (#7, and worth it for the Cranston-Csuri and III [Looker] sections.)

Acme does traditional style animation with computers. They seem to do
mostly Carrier Air Conditioning ads if you only watch the tape.
Emulsifilter has been universally judged much inferior to normal film or
video by everyone who has seen my copy of the tape. It looks something like
you had put geletin on the lens and turned up the blue too high. One of my
friends claims that the problem with video is that it looks too clear, so
people who have been conditioned to film are distracted, but I feel the
Acme process would probably be worse.
