It's got a really good sense of movement and perspective, but I don't know if I like the narrative structure. It just seems to showcase the same handful of techniques over and over again, something that screams "student film". It's a pretty freaking impressive student film, though, especially for its time.
This is really cool. I only heard of Ian Eames from Pink Floyd's "Pulse" DVD. I never knew this is where he got his start. I especially didn't even know anything about The Fantastic Animation Festival either. I was born the year it was out. I'm guessing this might have been where Mike Judge/Don Hertzfeldt got inspired to start their "Animation Show" from. Thanks for posting all these.
wasn't there a video set to this music, where a mosquito bit a human and it showed the blood, the cells, the atomic structure, then went from micro to macro , to the planets, the galaxcies, univerce?

it deserves to be seen on a movie screen, like in 1977, when i saw it the first time

I love this one. I remember watching this on the big screen in Dallas in 1977. the whole "Fantastic Animation Festival" is great.

I have a 16mm copy of this in my collection.
This guy does have a webpage, but I find it difficult writing it here, but you can Google it easy.

I've always loved this...the 3-D looks like how computer animation would eventually look! I'd never seen the beginning before....
