Runtime

Synopsis

The Mind's Eye is a compilation of experimental computer animations created during the early development of computer-generated imagery technology. The animations, produced by various studios, are presented in a thematic sequence reminiscent of the evolution depicted in *2001: A Space Odyssey*, and are accompanied by synthesized music. These early CGI projects later influenced the creation of films such as *Toy Story*, *A Bug's Life*, *Antz*, and *Shrek*.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 7

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
