best movie i've ever seen.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
BEYOND THE MINDS EYE is a surreal voyage bridging the gap between reality and imagination. Travel through the inner depths of the human psyche to the outer reaches of the universe. BEYOND explores worlds that may exist in alternate dimensions - or only in the minds of the worlds leading computer animators. "Brilliant" - Steven Churchill"Surreal" - Michael Boydstun"Real, yet imaginative" - Jan Hammer"As 'modern Fantasia' this video steps BEYOND" - G. Paul SullivanComprised of mini-stories; including Afternoon Adventure, Theater of Magic, and Nothing But Love.You will have some real afternoon delight.
The tracks and ideas in this video are much better defined than in the original Mind's Eye. This series of videos really were on the cutting edge of the ray-tracing technology available. So what you see in this video is probably some of the best ray-tracing/modeling that could be done at that time. But as this series goes on, you can see most of the artists moving towards a style of realism and away from the surreal.
First, let me say that I am a true fan of Jan Hammer's work (after all he made Miami Vice watchable). But under "altered" moods, Hendrix "Electric Ladyland" and some dark/colorful room lighting makes this movie a true experience ;-)
even though the technology now is way beyond what was possible in 1992, Beyond the Mind's Eye is a landmark work of computer animation and imagination. Its artfulness, beauty, and thoughtfulness will remain. wonderful music by Jan Hammer help to make each segment unique and enduring.Beyond the Mind's Eye - indeed.
