Gadget Trips: Mindscapes

A sweeping epic poem dedicated to an age of iron and arms. Sound and video on a scale so awesome it'll mainline your brain.

Gadget Trips/ Mindscapes is the collaborative product of three consummate artists. The director is Haruhiko Shono, an artist who stands in the first rank of CD-ROM creators. The music is by Koji Ueno, a composer inhabiting the distinctive world of sound. Audio production is by Shin'ichi Tanaka, sound crafter to top-ten musicians. This video is based on the CD-ROM interactive movie "Gadget" and the visual book "Inside out With Gadget."

A cold war that's turning hot between the Empire and the Republic is the background against which we witness the acts of characters who are at the mercy of their leaders' whims, and interwoven among these events are hallucinations - some served up in good trips and some in bad - produced by an electromagnetic radiation device called Sensorama. Together these elements spin out a tale of high drama. It's finally here! A stunning non-stop , full CG movie that blows away ALL preconceptions.
