1949: To speed up filming which used frame-by-frame shooting and optical printer procedures John Whitney discovered the process of covering a luminous surface with more or less dense oil and tracing images on it using a stylus or finger which was in turn fimed by a camera in real time.
1966: Permutations was the first film that John Whitney considered to be a complete work which used kaleidoscope movements with color added using an optical printer.
