Pretty wild seeing it on TV, but oddly enough, you could have done just about everything besides the guitar graphics and doodles with practical effects

a very perplexing post

The whole package was a lot to digest.
MUSIC VIDEOS?? COMPUTER ANIMATION???
There was just so much new in the 80s.

There's still a lot of new stuff in our times but we're all accustomed to a lot / maybe fried even and back then stuff just felt like from another planet.

Oh yeah and at the time the industry was crawling with people like this
>I could do that with clay
Don't recall all the names but the biggest guy in fx objected to this chi sequence in start trek generations. He insisted he could do it with clay and the cgi looked like shit. He got cut out, he threw a fit, they did it with cgi, and ended up making a permanent cgi department because of it. The guy who hated it all became the head of that department. That's why you can't get a job.

To be honest, it looks better than most cgi today.

holy fuck, that lettering is terrible

I haven't watched enough Ahoy and retro computing retrospective videos, but I'd say pretty damn innovative.

Making the characters look like toys was the best move up until the early 2000's when CGI humans started to look well less uncanny AF.

They did the shields in the original Dune by hand even though they look like proto-CGI.

Relatively groundbreaking, considering these were the seeds ReBoot came from.

I'd argue there's some things that were more groundbreaking like Wrath of Khan's Genesis sequence, but there really wasn't a lot of things like it outside of commercials or broadcast graphics. And certainly not a whole lot of character animation that weren't simply in-house tests.

>Just how groundbreaking was this video back then?

OP isn't old enough to remember it, but I do, and it felt like the dawn of a new era in animation that eventually led to Toy Story being the first all CGI animated movie released theatrically!!!FACT!!!
