Eye see....

http://www.nexusproductions.com/

This video shows 3 animations for the eyetoy. The Logo for Eye Toy is made up of letters, with the center ones being a Y sitting on top of an O with eyes, which turns into its own character in the animations.



The first animation shows the character zooming in from off screen through the air, hovering over the rest of the logo with the Y at the top spinning like helicopter blades. After circling around the logo, it lands in the center of it. However, as it lands, the blades get caught in the other parts of the logo, and it gets spun around and thrown into the screen. It gets up, hops into place in the logo, and blinks.

The second part shows a drum cymbal sitting in the center of the screen. The character comes in from the right pushing a drum up to the cymbal. The expressions on the eyes of the character show how hard it is for him to push the drum. With it in place, he hops up and down, and moves behind the drum. He then plays a quick tune on the drum the Y segment being used to hit the instrument. The character then hops on the drum, and begins flipping itself in place, hitting the drum and cymbal with every part of itself in a drum roll (the character literally rolling as he does it). He then flies off the drum and into the cymbal, which falls over with him knocked out on top of it. The eye toy logo then appears, and the character zooms in from the left, with his eyes going crazy.

The final part begins with the character chasing a bouncing ball from off screen. The character kicks the ball off screen, and after briefly looking at the viewer, he goes off the right of the screen. He comes back pushing a box with a teapot and a toaster on top of it. After pushing that off screen, he comes back using the Y part of him to hold the ball from the beginning, with a trash can, tea pot, and toaster balanced on top of it while he gives a sort of "ta-da" noise. He can't keep balancing them though, and the objects fall. The character looks at the fallen objects, and then jumps to the side as more objects begin falling from the top of the screen. As he makes it to the front of the screen, he looks up and his eyes show panic as a photocopier falls on top of him. The copier prints copies of the character squished underneath it. The camera then shifts right, and the eye toy logo appears. The character is put into the center of the logo, almost as if a scanner is putting him into place.
