Theater Of Magic

[@torley]

I'm still enjoying this immensely, and sharing it 8 years later. Now more relevant than ever.

[@ThePrimReaper]

Theater of Magic was always one of the best ones. Such a great tune.

[@hdjksa52]

Yeah.....I used to work at Radio Shack when they were selling this. I think it was the reason why I got the VHS. Jan Hammer really did great work. Today people are still trying to emulate that sound, but even the best aren't quite hitting it.

I loved Beyond the Mind's Eye when I was a child!

[@Humbertusmarius]

I got into 3D graphics and animation because of the Mind's Eye videos, love this music too. Thanks for posting.

[@arudius]

Yeah this really brings me back. I was in 5th grade at the time when I saw this. It was one of the foundations of inspiration that affected me in my creative life...now I'm a film score composer for TV, commercial, and film. :) Thanks BtME

[@Raoshey]

I remember when this first came out and I saw it on TV--was pretty blown away by the computer graphics. Pretty amazing how far things have come since then. Classic video.

[@torley]

Byte - my deepest, warmest gratitude to you for uploading this. It's been well over a decade since I saw this in full, and while computer animation has made many advances over that time, this video still feels fresh to me - I love how visually stimulating this is, how often the imagery changes, and how there appears to be an evolution of forms (e.g. when the jade-metal tiger turns into an almost-Voltronish golden beast after jumping through the file).

[@alienguardian]

That golden ship is the image of my childhood.

I love all of the stuff from the mind's eye series, keep 'em coming. Gotta love it.

[@torley]

Gah comments must be shorter than 500 characters, but I just wanted to add: Incredible, incredible. THANK YOU GRACIOUSLY!!!

[@missheath000]

beyond the mind's eye is my favorite collection of shorts.

[@uru86]

I LOVE THE MUSIC i remember this...memories

[@sonisisuper]

just beautiful. The music is best.

[@BlueSilverStars]

I love the Mind's Eye movies, I've got like four of them.. This segment (musically and animation wise) is only second to Valley of the Mind's Eye by Thomas Dolby, from Gate to the Mind's Eye. But really, this song is lovely. Thx for putting it up. ;D

[@alienguardian]

Sure, graphics have improved vastly since this series, but NOTHING will ever be as artistic or creative as the Mind's Eye series. They're just incredible to watch over and over...

[@alienguardian]

Omg! Thank you so much for uploading this! The imagery is still fascinating and pleasing to the eyes! :D

[@Rickyyy666]

Beautiful.

[@SgtScorpious]

this was some trippy stuff but thanx fr uploading its been a wile since ive seen this stuff

[@vapourmile]

@CleansWithRag Amazing, thanks for that. It looks like a group of different clips knitted together since the style, quality and continuity seems to hop around a bit... being a lover of this type of work, I'd love to have more details of who was responsible, when they were completed and what soft / hard ware was used. If you know that too, or you can point me in the right direction? That'd be really cool.

[@phudlow]

yea i really love that one too

[@Flesmus]

MY Favorite SHort Circuitz EVER!!!! AHHHHH!!!!!!

[@kirk1968]

@CleansWithRag Agreed! The visuals from this entire set are unmatched all these years later.

[@Glitcher2000]

The name of that short is called "Megacycles". I've seen it on KZbin recently.

[@kirk1968]

@CleansWithRag Oh man...imagine what they'd come up with! They definitely had an eye for artistic merit as well as the music to go with the clips. That would rock!!

[@SgtScorpious]

some 1 plz upload more of these plz

[@zokizoran]

im so high right now and this is representing life and the future life after its crazy we turn into energy! and back in all sorts of forms including the same dimension we already were.. i think lol

[@estefez]

The Gold statue ones are all from the cigarette company Benson & Hedges.

[@ringi71]

this is a beautiful clip but i need the names of the commercials what are included, i search the commercial with the magician

[@vapourmile]

Surely this video is actually a montage of various animations? I'd love to be able to look up the individual titles... does anybody know? Tnx.

[@Peaceful_Rayne]

Most were actually made in the 80's. and just aired in the 90's

[@randombutler]

If you get lost along the way...

[@Worldofourown2024]

My original Minds Eye disks will not run on modern computers like they did on a Win 95 system. Anyone know how to get this without using a VCR tape?

[@abiel2332]

where???

[@Arachne55]

I think I saw this when I was younger (like 5 years oldish). Weird.

[@abiel2332]

trippy

[@truartemedia]

As soulful as Todd R or Yes or Lee Michaels, this series from Jon is sheer genius, an after -taste to winning junior european classical piano recital contests It seems;l like Miami Vice met Visions of the Emerald Beyond! Schneiderama

[@JZSuperstar]

This must be great after smoking up.
