The Mind's Eye - 02 Creation (Short Circutz)

This is the animation "Creation" from the early computer animation compilation "The Mind's Eye."

In 1990 Odyssey Productions gathered together shorts and demo reels from hundreds of artists working in the fledgling field of computer animation. These captivating computer generated videos were combined with an original score to give the world a look at the future of animation. Eventually these shorts would be licensed by YTV in Canada to be aired as "Short Circutz" in place of commercials.

Unlike later productions, The Mind's Eye was only released on VHS tape and Laserdisc. This is the higher quality Laserdisc release, carefully digitized.

PLEASE GIVE PROPER CREDIT to the creator of "The Mind's Eye". Yes, Odyssey had a collection of CGI demos, but "The Mind's Eye" was a MIRAMAR production by Emmy Award winning director JAN NICKMAN who spent thousands of hours exquisitely crafting them into a double platinum selling film considered to be a milestone in the field of computer animation. With a score by JAMES REYNOLDS, "The Mind's Eye" reached #12 on Billboard's video hits chart. PLEASE GIVE PROPER CREDIT TO THE ARTISTS.

@SacredEarthPictures There's no need to shout. Or spam all the videos.

LONG LIVE the Mind's Eye! The CGI may be primitive, but the undeniable artistry still endures.

I remember seeing this stuff on YTV when I was really little and wondering so hard what it was all about.

@iRavemosh Same here! Still in the creative field today actually. My Dad showed me and my siblings this movie - what fond childhood memories. Absolutely love it.

my dad showed these to me as a child and i have to say these videos are the reason behind every creative moment i've ever had! haha

Who is the musician on this volume?

[Banged147Chicks]

i think the whole charm of this is that the graphics and sound are outdated. i wouldnt have it any other way, in fact, the more primitive, the better!

I have the whole series on Laserdisc. Once in a while I pull out one of those big old discs and play it for my friends. When they ask what kind of disc it is I say :Super BlueRay!"
