Vince Collins is a film director and animator known for experimental
psychedelic animations. A number of these are available on the
Internet as short videos. However, he also published many on
vinceworld.com between 1996 and 2005 as free self-running (slightly)
interactive applications made with Macromedia Director. This page is
devoted to these applications.

> degenerates into interrelated imagery, and the metamorphosis always
> feels too creatively-packed to have been thought up by the mind of
> just one person. It?s as if Collins harbors the creative brain power
> of twelve in one.
