"Westworld" (1973, dir. Michael Crichton) pixelation sequences

This is a montage of sequences from Michael Crichton's film Westworld (1973), which was followed by Futureworld (1976, dir. Richard T. Heffron) and the television series Beyond Westworld (1980, prod. Lou Shaw).

John Whitney Jr. used a pixelation technique to graphically illustrate the robot gunslinger's point of view. He completed the effect in four months, using the mainframe computer of Information International. Each frame was digitized individually. Now a common technique, this was the first time pixelation had appeared in a film.
