Hi I am looking for some quality computer animated shorts.. some that are very well made and have a lot of visuals.. I have seen some by "the mind's eye" and are not really what am I looking for.. they seem a little rough on the egdes..(the ones I have seen)..
Any suggestions on what to look for?

Thanks
Luis

get the toy story ultimate toy box. there's a short called "Luxo, Jr." thats nice. not to mention the whole movie is gorgeous.

I don't think that's what he's talking about.

I can't help you there. I'm in the same boat as you. I got Mind's Eye 3 years ago but didn't like it and haven't ventured into any others since that one was so... bleh.

I believe the Final Fantasy DVD has a few shorts. Great movie, too.

well, the mind's eye stuff looks really good on VHS - unfortunately they compressed the HELL out of them when they made the transfer to DVD. In their defense, these were released when DVD was in its infancy... still there are no knbown plans to remaster them.

Do they HAVE to be on DVD??

On VHS there are also a couple of volumes of The Computer Animation Festival that are kinda neat-o...

good to see someone sees what i see in the mind's eye series.. they are not bad... they are just not GOOD :[.. they are there..
I have the animated films from pixar etc.. they are kewl..
i was looking for short films etc... any type as long as the quality and hope fully the dvd transfer is good...

thanks all

Ancient Alien
Luminous Visions
Infinity's Child
Move Volumes I and II (put out by Pioneer Artists)
Exotic Robotics
Spaced Out Transambient

I'm selling the top 3 over at Amazon, by the way.

I guess it would help if I said what I was looking for more or less I saw a clip at a club once ( i tried asking got no answer )
It showed amazing detailed scenes I would call them "grand" much detail and multi layered.. a lot of the ones I see are very geometrical.. a globbe melting.. the kaledoscpe patterns.. etc.. what I saw was like a robot flying tru a planet.. an explosion.. etc.. I really dont care bout the sound because i will use my own
I guess to put it in perpective the scenes look similar in grandeur to the meteor hitting the earth scene in Disney's Dinosaur..

thanks all..

The Animatrix. The "Final Flight of the Osiris" short is just jaw-dropping, and most of the other anime shorts also feature liberal use of good CG animation.
