Ep. #508 The Mind's Eye ~ A Computer Animation Odyssey (1990) REMASTERED

You can find this video around on the internet, but some are the Radio Shack version, they were pulled from VHS, or just overall not the best of quality.
This was uploaded using the best copy I could find, because you cannot buy this anywhere anymore (or I was not able to find it for sale, anyway).
I crushed the blacks a little to get it closer to what it use to be (not washed out). And as all the audio was more than likely from a VHS version, I found it a little lacking in depth, so I did just a little remastering. This is really my first attempt refreshing old media.

I did this primarily because every version looked like garbage on my 72 inch TV. I also converted the footage to 60 FPS and added frame blending.
Hope you like it. I believe it looks and sounds better than others available out there. But then again, I tailored it to my tastes.


This is the first effort by director and co-producer Jan Nickman which served as a demonstration of computer animation when the art-form was still in its relative infancy. It is composed of a sequence of segments ambitiously chronicling the formation of Earth ("Creation"), the rise of human civilizations ("Civilization Rising"), and the technological advances of humanity from the advent of agriculture to the future exploration of the cosmos. The video speculatively concludes with a segment of what might be the next sentient species to arise on Earth, as well as the CGI short Stanley and Stella in: Breaking the Ice. The soundtrack was composed by James Reynolds. The sales of this video were RIAA certified as "Multi-Platinum" and reached as high as #12 on Billboard's video sales chart.

The Mind's Eye is a spectacular odyssey through time. Your journey begins at the dawn of creation and moves through the rise of man and technology.
