Growing up in Cincinnati, the Omnimax at the museum center was a huge influence. The light tunnel intro (one of many adapted from the Graphic Films Corporation logo [1]) absolutely blew my mind and gave me a lifelong obsession with computer graphics.

You probably already know this, but the light tunnel intro wasn't computer graphic imagery. It was created using optical effects generally referred to as slit scan. The same technique was used to create the star gate sequence at the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey.
