In 1974, an eccentric millionaire by the name of Alexander Schure founded the New York Inistitute of Technology's Computer Graphics Lab. Housed in a one hundred year old pink mansion in Long Island, the lab made large advances in digital paint, animation, and attempted to create the first computer animated film twice in its lifetime. Kickstarting Pixar, creating the alpha channel, and creating art with every new tool they could lay their hands on, this is the story of the forbidden pink house in Long Island.
