Background[edit | edit source]
Inspired by 1980's Science-Fiction, '...The Siege Of 1986' is an animated movie set to the soundtrack of Indigo Peak's seventh studio album 'Music From The Motion Picture'. The movie features no dialogue and is scored solely by the twenty tracks from the aforementioned album.
Indigo Peak collaborated with special effects company Industrial Light & Magic on the project. ILM are renowned for their special effects and have been notable for their work in and around the sci-fi/fantasy genre's since 1975.
The story was written by both Andre and Yannik Cassenove. Concept art was drawn freehand by the duo who provided ILM with storyboards that were then turned into computerised animated scenes.
Plot[edit | edit source]
A time traveling astronaut from the year 2186 is transported to the year 1986. A title card reveals that in the future timeline established by Indigo Peak, historians use time travel in order to document past events. The unnamed protagonist is observing key events in the 1980's and as a result of technological issues is transported to 1986 New York City. It is in this time period that our main character falls in love with a waiter at a diner, resulting in his decision to stay in the past. Our hero is apprehended by future 'time police' who attempt to return him to 2186. After many years they are successful in retrieving him, and is returned to his own time as his love interest forgets about their time together as a result of biological implants that emit memory erasing pheromones. At the movies climax, the love interest who is now elderly is revealed to have never completely forgotten about his time with the Astronaut, having drawn many sketches of him over the years following his departure. As the movie ends, his memory is apparently jolted as the occurrences of their time together flash before his eyes.
Release and Reception[edit | edit source]
