Cat had posted a link to the Beyond The Minds Eye video to mastodon | |
and it reminded me of renting The Mind's Eye and Beyond The Mind's | |
eye VHS cassette from Blockbuster Video back in the day (thanks, cat!) | |
The Mind's Eye series[1] are collections of computer generated short | |
films set to music. I liked watching these back then...well, | |
basically zoning out on them. They probably seem very primative by | |
today's standards but back then, these were state of the art. This | |
stuff also reminds me of some of the computer generated music videos | |
that The Residents had done. I guess that since I grew up watching | |
music videos, this kind of stuff appeals to me. | |
I saw that the series is on archive.org so I downloaded them. I | |
think they will be good visuals for the garage lab even if I turn | |
off the audio. Plus my monitors are 4:3, so they should look fine | |
@ full screen. Maybe I should change the resolution to 640x480 ;) | |
