The typical entry in the Mind's Eye series is a short package film, usually 50 to 60 minutes long, with an electronic music soundtrack over a series of music video-like sequences. The original film, entitled The Mind's Eye: A Computer Animation Odyssey', consisted of a non-rigid structure of many semi-related sequences. The general style which characterizes the series is light and cartoony due to the difficulty of rendering more complicated images using the computers of the day. The computer animation sequences that appeared in the films were generally not produced specifically for the Mind's Eye series but rather were work originally created for other purposes, including demo reels, commercials, music videos, and feature films. These were assembled into something resembling a narrative through creative editing. This approach gave Churchill access to the best-quality computer graphics of the time without having to bear their substantial production costs. The soundtracks for the films were composed by James Reynolds, Thomas Dolby, Jan Hammer and Kerry Livgren (founder and guitarist for Kansas). I encourage you to watch all of these super blazed if you have the time. For the 90s these were crazy graphics. The video only gets better towards the end and the music is great [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHpPpoz6e6Y]YouTube - The Mind's Eye - 02 Creation (Short Circutz)[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2gZrM22QfY]YouTube - The Mind's Eye - 03 Civilization Rising (Short Circutz)[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2NyostewAQ&feature=related]YouTube - The Mind's Eye - 04 Heart of the Machine (Short Circutz)[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRoS3n5Cn80&feature=fvw]YouTube - The Mind's Eye - 05 Technodance (Short Circutz)[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KM0rVCCEJ04&feature=related]YouTube - The Mind's Eye - 06 Post Modern (Short Circutz)[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYBes8ki3lo&feature=related]YouTube - The Mind's Eye - 07 Love Found (Short Circutz)[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcydDkCLRSk&feature=related]YouTube - The Mind's Eye - 08 Leaving the Bonds of Earth (Short Circutz)[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X173yUwJTLQ&feature=related]YouTube - The Mind's Eye - 09 The Temple (Short Circutz)[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGOf3OX6jWU&feature=related]YouTube - The Mind's Eye - 10 Credits[/ame] these videos from my childhood probably sparked my interest in psychedelics and video games
