It's two hours long, but contains fascinating stories from two highly influential lives in computing and computer graphics:
Computing industry legends and brothers Bert and Ivan Sutherland reminisce about their collective 100 plus years with computers and electronics.
Filmed in 2004 at the Computer History Museum.

A few points: building a drum memory in 12th grade. The experimental transistor computer which was offline on Wednesdays for rewiring. 1962 Sketchpad demo. Inventing the term 'clipping.' Riding a hexapod robot.

(For those who like to read, Ivan Sutherland's Turing Award page is worth a look, and contains a link to his paper on Micropipelines which he mentions in the video, a "simple and easy to understand" "event-driven elastic pipeline" design style.)
