ReBoot was initially conceived in 1984 by the British creative collective The Hub, made up of John Grace, Ian Pearson, Gavin Blair and Phil Mitchell. After about 8 years of development Pearson, Blair and Mitchell moved to Vancouver, British Columbia to produce the series. Pearson and Blair by this time had created some of the first widely seen CGI characters, in the Dire Straits' music video for "Money for Nothing".[15] However, technology was not yet advanced enough to make the show in the desired way. 3D animation tests began in earnest in 1990 and ReBoot had achieved its detailed look by 1991. Production continued on future episodes and the show aired in 1994 after enough episodes had been produced. This was a painstaking process, as no other company had at this time worked on a 3D animation project of this scale. Furthermore, the software used was new to all in the company.
