Compu Movie/Old

This page contains speculation from before Compu Movie was found.

Alphabetical Animals

The July 1994 edition of Wired magazine features a short interview with Sato, and also mentions the presence of an Alphabetical Orgasm video on Compu Movie. They most likely meant to say Alphabetical Animals instead, since the artwork in the video matches that series and it's labeled as such in the print advertisement and Next Beat interview.

A presumably clipped version of the full video is available on OSD's YouTube Channel, titled "ABC.mov".

The "DIG MAG" CD-ROM features an interactive version of this video, with animations for every letter and several words ("LOVE", "AND", "PEACE", "FOOL"). These animations appear to be the same as featured in screenshots, but possibly run too quickly in emulators. The screenshot featuring Sato's face doesn't appear here, but rather in the CD-ROM's "I LOVE YOU" video.

I LOVE YOU

This video on the OSD310 Youtube channel was speculated to be from Compu Movie for years before the print advertisement lent more credence to this theory.

The description claims it was produced for Tierrart, the same company which released Compu Movie. Like ABC.mov, it features elements (in this case, numbers) from Alphabetical Animals. It also appears to fade out prematurely, implying there's more to be seen.

Lastly, since several of the clips from the OSD310 channel ended up originating from The Esoteric Retina (Xia-Che, Trancemigration, The Earth is Round), it seems plausible that this would also be the case with Compu Movie.

Another portion of this video was found on the "DIG MAG" CD-ROM. Most of the soundtrack had never been heard before, except for one section which also features in a different part of the Youtube upload.
