Movie Reviews of Illuminated Manuscripts

Movie Review: This is an amazing accomplishment
Summary: 5 Stars

I almost don't know where to begin. I bought this a year ago and love it. I want to watch it again and again. As an artist and musician, I appreciate the hard work that went into this. It's a quality product and it is just astonishing. You are drawn in to an enjoyable, ecstatic experience that is alternately mystifying and breathtaking. Swirling colors spiral and form an old wooden door... a forest transforms into a temple... a Buddha statue sits serenely... a tree morphs into a double helix... alchemical symbols dance and form a Dr. John Dee merry-go-round. The production quality is excellent, and even the titles are beautiful. The ambient tracks are just as good too, as are the moving "stills". Keep an eye out for a scene we like to call "Elvish has left the building." :-) When you see it, you'll know what I mean.

Summary of Illuminated Manuscripts

Illuminated Manuscripts is video DVD featuring a series of animations exploring the visionary nature of journeys. Layering an original soundtrack over photographic scenes of temples, waterfalls, forests and doorways, this DVD introduces a new experience of art that draws from video, music, nature, and organic special effects. The DVD features organically styled computer animation by John S. Banks and world/electronic music by composer Fritz Heede. This disc contains 17 beautiful works that explore visions of lost worlds and journeys of discovery. With original sources drawn from ancient sites, deep green nature and lost languages, Illuminated Manuscripts will appeal to anyone interested in Animation, Nature, Meditation and Fantasy.

In addition to the main animations, this DVD features 6 eternal loops, ambient remixes, alternate soundtracks, still art gallery and interactive menus.
