My psyche was massaged, warm and glowing, and my audio visual experience was consuming during its entirety.

“[Infinity’s Child] is a mindblower. My wife and I sat mesmerized at the "impossible" heaving and breathing landscapes Nickman creates. We must have said "Wow" or "look at THAT!" a hundred times between us. It takes the phrase "eye candy" to new heights. Truly inspirational, soul-achingly beautiful. The imaginative constructions and use of color palettes behind these landscapes amounts to nothing short of a miraculous leap of visual faith. I loved it and plan on viewing it many times...especially when I feel my sense of awe and wonder slipping. Everyone who loves sheer beautiful imagery should buy this magnificent work of art.”
- James Lawrence, Santa Barbara, CA
“Folks, every once in a while I review something other than a book. This video is an excellent idea. Normally I would never buy anything like this. But when I saw what it was, and especially the line on the box reading: "This extraordinary odyssey is told not with words but in picture and the language of the gods-music," I knew that I needed it. So I spent.... on it!!”
“I know I will watch this again and again. I have only once so far, and once you sit in front of this esoteric cosmic art for just a few seconds, you will be entranced into a vision losing all concepts of time. You will unite with the undulations. WHoaaaaaaahh. It really is good folks.”
- Joel Brown, Pittsburgh, PA
“Infinity’s Child is a good reason to own a DVD player and a good powered subwoofer!”
- Stephen W. Jackson, Arlington, VA
“Infinity's Child', the long awaited sequel to 'Planetary Traveler', is a unique exploration of the animated abstract computer art of Bill Ellsworth. While 'Planetary Traveler' is a fascinating survey of computer generated landscapes from a variety of artists, 'Infinity's Child' is a much more intimately focused and realized work. `Infinity's Child' takes us on a mind-blowing visual journey that absolutely shatters the cliches associated with popular consumption computer animation. We fly through improvisational three-dimensional structures enlarged to the size of cities mutating and shimmering like living creatures. This is heady stuff! The movie works on several levels. There is a sci-fi plot line with narration early on that gives the uninitiated a reference point for appreciating what is about to happen, but it is Ellsworth's recognizable style combined with great editing, and a topnotch electronic music soundtrack that is the conceptual gel that holds things together. You don't have to be a computer-head to enjoy the ride. Anyone with an imagination and a willingness to explore new ideas will find this entertaining. 'Infinity's Child' is an intense visual experience that will stand up to repeated viewing. This one gets my highest recommendation. Get it!”
- B. McLeod, USA
“This DVD/video is the sequel to Planetary Traveler. It is a visual and aural feast that'll really blow you away. If you have any interest whatsoever in computer graphics and animation, you must see this -it's amazing!”
- Bill Rogers, Colorado
“I worked at Natural Wonders, a store that specializes in unique gifts, music, and video. Infinity's Child came into the store and I played in over the audio/video system in the store. After watching 10 minutes of the video I bought it and took it home. To sit down and watch this as a feature film is hardly what should be done. If you are entertaing friends or relaxing around the home or exercising; pop the video in and turn the sound up. It makes for great background music and video. I exercise to it and just enjoy the flowing techno / new age score and the dazzling colors.”
