Down the Road

This is the animated short Down the Road from Miramar's Imaginaria. It was also among the shorts to air as part of YTV's Short Circutz in the mid 90s.

if you're wondering about the quality, there's a reason for it being rather poor. These animations were created on early computers as separate projects in the late 80s. They were then output to film or (ugh) VHS. This was then collected by Miramar who somehow edited them together into the shorts. Once that was done, it was released on VHS tape. Later on, these VHS tapes were recorded into a computer by unknown means and compressed with an obscure video compressor. The result was burned to a CD and mailed off. After that it was extracted from it's bizzare video format and converted into a more standard AVI format. Finally it was uploaded to Youtube and re-encoded in their system. That means that this short has been in 8 different lossy video formats by the time you watch it. It's a wonder you can even make out what's happening.

Memories.. Who sings this?

@QueenWebster How the hell did you find this video? I've been trying very hard to bury it as I uploaded a much better quality version. Anyway, as I said in the comments of the better version, the credits segment which I also uploaded lists the song as being by Gary Powell with vocals by Chris Martin.

Go look up Too Far, as that uses one of the same video clips with different music.

Wow....I used to love this one. I remember coming home from day care and sitting on the staircase to my basement to watch it as my brother sat down there watching it on TV. I loved the motion.

Though how I remember it was it was mainly on a rail system, and had dark lighting. And the music wasn't country, it was techno...
