More Bells and Whistles
More Bells and Whistles was a computer animation created by Wayne Lytle in 1990. Wayne Lytle now owns and operates a company called Animusic, creating music-driven animation similar to the techniques demonstrated in the More Bells & Whistles video. Compared to the newer videos, however, this video is primitive.
This piece was created using Wavefront version 2.7. Wayne created it while he was an employee at Cornell University Theory Center. This institution owns all rights to the piece.

展开Beyond the Walls
In 1995 Lytle brought computer artist David Crognale on board to produce a music animation for a commercial client. Animusic produced a 5-minute stereoscopic music animation for VRex, a manufacturer of stereoscopic glasses and projectors. The award-winning stereoscopic version was entitled "Concerto in 3D", while the regular version was called "Beyond the Walls".

展开Starship Groove (Cam 1)
Each camera is a single shot for the entire animation, locked on to follow one performer (or two, in the case of the drummers).

展开Pogo Sticks (Rehearsal)
The band runs through the entire piece in a backstage rehearsal room before going onstage. Each performer is present from the start, rather than being introduced one at a time as in the main animation. The music fades out later on this rehearsal version, revealing a little extra flailing at the end.
展开Resonant Chamber (Multi-view)
The full instrument model is very complex and has many obstructions, making it difficult to simultaneously view all six instrument components. In this special feature, each component is shown in its own window allowing you to clearly see each part, and how they play together. The music begins right after the intro, and is mixed to clearly bring out each musical part.
展开Cathedral Pictures (Construction)
The cathedral structure and major instrument groups are faded on one at a time to reveal the construction of the set, concluding with some unusual camera angles not used in the actual animation. For the audio track a distant organ plays the music from Mussorgsky's "Promenade".
展开Pipe Dream 2 (Wired, Solid, Shaded)
The entire music animation plays while cycling through wireframe (see-through), white plastic, and final shaded renders, smoothly transitioning from one format to the next. Midway through this feature, it switches to a 3-way split screen to show a simultaneous comparison of all three render styles.
展开Fiber Bundles (Mix 1)
A unique application of multiple "angles" and audio streams: four different video blends/audio mixes, from a single front-on camera view. In the first three you only hear and see certain instruments. The last blend/mix shows everything combined together like the completed animation.

展开Gyro Drums (Quad-view)
Watch the entire animation from 4 different viewpoints symultaneously. The upper right quad-view window shows the entire rig, while the upper left camera is locked on to the inner core player. The bottom two windows show each of the satellite players. All three player cameras move as if attached to their respective player, so (from that perspective) the "world" seems to move and rotate while the players seem stationary.
展开Heavy Light (Construction)
Each of the hundreds of stones and instrument components is inserted in its place. Then the sky evolves over four different versions, ending with the final image used in the animation (that sky is also used on the DVD printed insert.)
展开Heavy Light (Close-ups)
Wayne Lytle's favorite section of Heavy Light is seen from cameras showing some extreme close-ups of the instruments as they play. As these models were never intended to be viewed from this close, you get a “behind-the-scenes” peek at their structure.
