A horrorific treat for the senses
Unlike the 'G' rated computer animations put out by Mind's Eye Presents in the past, "Televoid" takes a turn into realms of the dark. Witch Hunts, demonic rituals, and a ghastly flock of computer generated monsters abound. The themes are dark, and the music follows suit. The story line captivates -- even strikes fear in your soul. I would give this title a...

I would give this title a PG-13 rating - definately not suitable for children. I highly reccomend this title. An A+ achievement.

TELEVØID (1997)
directed by Michael Boydstun This is a video showcasing 1990s computer animation. The director Mike Boydstun also directed some of the 'MIND'S EYE' videos. The animation sequences were done by several different groups, and the music was produced by Scott Rockenfield of the group Queensryche and Paul Speer. There is a very loose story here where a skeleton named "Skully" (done with stop-motion animation) watches television clips. A voice from the TV threatens to get him but he continues to watch. Each new animation sequence is a different "channel" that Skully is watching. The imagery continues the psychedelic 90s techno utopian style but adds some pagan and darker themes as well. For example there is a segment with kaleidoscopic tunnels of babies and skulls moving in rhythm. Another part shows some kind of ritual invocation with horn-headed creatures. Ultimately the TV voice lays out his plan in the form of rap lyrics delivered by Sir Mix-a-Lot (!). The whole project appears to be trying to comment on fetishized media violence. It would be unfair to judge this video by today's standards but some of the music and visuals are very dated. It is not bad but it is sometimes uneven. If I had to compare it with something, the first thing that comes to mind would be the old video game SEWER SHARK.

Generally horrific...,
By Paul Steffen (Monterey, Ca) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Televoid (DVD)
Although there are some good CGI clips, TeleVoid is probably a good title for this DVD. Not much here to get excited about. Some bad animation work will cause diehard fans of the genre to writhe in pain. The rock soundtrack by Paul Speer (? ) and Scott Rockenfield of Queensryche failed to ignite.Best part of this DVD are at the "bonus clips" with some surprisingly good surreal work from France and Japan. |
