Animation, Art, and Other Shiny Things
No, nothing to do with the operating system we love to hate. This video is more a mellow architectural/design tour. You can tell it’s age as all the displays use CRTs.
Shinji Inamoto takes a frenetically idiosyncratic tune by Frenchman Thiaz Itch and animates it utterly. Hitting the beats and following the changes in an avant-garde style that twists and surprises as much as the music does.

Music:”La Combe du Tréboulou” by Thiaz Itch (i think we’ll be back to hear more from mr itch soon…)
Whoever animated this video was running some heavy fuel…
This video, Transformers, is a good example of how far computer animation had advanced in the two short years between The Mind’s Eye videos (1990) and this compilation.
Brave New World is the fourth installment of Beyond the Mind’s Eye and, besides showing off some good video processing power with the geometric transformations, gives us a bit of a virtual tour through a computer. This is 1992, remember, and the Pentium CPU wasn’t released until the following year, so it’s likely patterned on a 486 mainboard – and well patterned I might say, the board is quite recognizable to an old hardware geek like me.
A quick and cute little animation for your New Years morning.

In 2001 Animusic, founded by Wayne Lytle, released it’s first compilation DVD. This was a refinement of the work we saw in More Bells and Whistles. What Mr Lytle had done was flip animation on it’s head by creating computer models then using music input (MIDI) to control them. Basically, he made the instruments and the music played them.
More Bells and Whistles from the early computer animation video Imaginaria. Created in 1990, the animation was one of Wayne Lytle‘s first CG music videos. Look familiar?
