Customer Reviews of Illuminated Manuscripts
Unique 21st Century Vision This has got to be one of the most unique looking DVDs available, a true one of a kind that belongs in every cutting edge, 21st century computer animation collection. The author of "Illuminated Manuscripts" (John S. Banks) filmed nature scenes and ancient sites from all over the world and then wove them together with his computer animation magic into a stunning series of entrancing visual sequences. The tone is meditative and spiritual, a refreshing break from most other computer animation collections that need to tell half baked stories. This DVD has the feel of an accomplished and complete work. It brings the viewer a feeling of merging with an ocean or traveling through ancient spiritual pathways, unfamiliar because of their uncanny computer animation technique, yet strangely familiar. The beautiful musical soundtrack by Fritz Heede, compliments the visuals perfectly and creates a seductive, mesmerizing vehicle for Banks' kaleidoscopic flow of images. I see and hear something different every time I view this DVD. The chapter called 'Afterlife' contains what I consider the most beautiful moving image I have ever seen on a television screen. Highly recommended!
images + music is not enough to make a nice dvd
I like computer animations and I like new age music but this dvd was dissapointing to me. The images looked more like real Earth landscapes electronically transformed into some psychedelic visions. They were accompanied by some instrumental music. Would it be good for meditation? Perhaps, but for me the music is enough on such occassions, I do not want my mind to focus on the video.
superlative
Anybody who questions the superlative nature of this presentation has clearly missed the utter beauty of it. One is presented with images that pull together emotions that exhist in dark conrers of everyones phyche. It is challenging, disturbing and uplifting in ways that words cannot express. Watch this in a K hole and try to comprehend he creators understanding of Berkleyan philosophy. A work of genius.
