The successful film Jurassic Park, made by the Hollywood director, Mr Steven Spielberg, owes a surprising debt to a small British company tucked away in a London side street. With the help of computer software written by Parallax, launched just three years ago, the animators who worked on Jurassic Park have achieved a movie breakthrough weaving seamlessly together sequences filmed in the conventional way with animations created entirely on the computer screen.The result sets new standards in film special effects and opens a Pandorra box fulI of tricks for film-makers to exploit.
