Animusic: A Computer Animation Video Album (DVD, 2004, Special Edition)

From the Back of the DVD box:

"Animusic is a poweful new vision in music video entertainment, with an unprecedented universal appeal. Cutting edge computer animation and a diverse collection of modern musical grooves and soundscapes deliver a stunning visual music experience! Anumusic will amaze and delight as extraordinary, intricate, invented musical instruments come to life and perform virtual concers, with note to note precision."

Animusic uses computer animation to animate various instruments in different animated video clips. The Animations are spectacular and the music is good too. My favorite clips were "Stick Figures", "Pipe Dream" and "Harmonic Voltage"

Some might not enjoy this very much, as it is pure animation, no "human" component present. To them this might seem no more than eye candy. If you like to actually see the live performers in a concert than this is not for you. But if you are interested in seeing some good computer animation this dvd can be a feast for your eyes and ears.

I was turned onto Animusic on PBS where I had my breath taken away. Both Animusic 1 and 2 are well worth the asking price. Just buy both of them at once as you will anyway after seeing just one video. My kids love them as do my wife and I. The attention to detail is amazing and it helps kids understand what makes things work and how, while having tons of fun. It's a no wonder teachers around the world are also using this in classes.
It's interesting both from the music, which is fantastic and there is something for everyone, but even from a mechanics point of view. I see no reason why almost all of these instruments could not be made. It just takes the imagination of people like this to design them! End note, don't take my word for it,..Just buy them!

After Purchasing Animusic 2 and being thoroughly impressed, I had to see it's predecessor. I was not disappointed. I especial liked the early works of Mr. Lytle with the flying drums. This is truly an amazing blend of computer animation and music. Something that every age group will love. My 2 year old is completely absorbed with it and wants to see it over and over. It is way better than sponge bob square pants!!!

A super DVD. Full of interesting animation, many computer generated musical instruments. Fast and intricate. Great dynamics too. Everything looks 3D, 4D, 5D...like it's popping out of the screen. A+.

I don't know how many times I will watch this dvd, but it is pretty cool. Especially in 5.1 surround.
It really shows off your sound system. My Infinity 2.5's were thumping loudly with the music. Quite impressive.
The animation is inventive and amazing. I would love to see this on Blu Ray.
