John Whitney developed motion picture slit-scan photography, and though he didn't really use it in his own films, he did in his commercial work. But it pretty quickly became a standard tool for effects houses, showing up in commercials, logos, special effects movies, etc., so there are probably lots of examples out there from a lot of effects people. Robert Abel & Associates specialized in it.
