Nice invitation! Awesome music by Chromag/Rebels!
(why didn't you donated this piece to hugi#34 uh? :)
I really liked the Assembly invitation done by Rebels,
but this ons is even better! The graphics by h20 rule
aswell! Thumb for this production for sure!

Whoa.
Fantastic music and I like the plain style very much. A very "clean" production which flows nicely from one scene to another. Great graphics as well.

I'll be there!

Nice compositions and transitions, helped by a kicking tune by Chromag. Not awesome, but I like it nonetheless.

Awesome quality job by Chromag and H2o, coupled with boring screen effects which make my videocard yawn and beg for some action.
Party information is quite poor, being relegated to one fullscreen pic, and all in all the invitation lacks the "makes me want to be there" feeling.
Piggy.

Nice old school feeling, I can see some inspiration from more or less known prods like this for the very first scene or some cracktro with cube travelling which name I can't recall right now :) Including the winners in the part before the credits is a great and well executed idea. Overall, a very enjoyable prod that may not introduce some new or impressive effects, but it can be nice for an ocassional watch.

Thumb up it is.

Bugs like no tomorrow on my computer (forgetting to clear some buffers, eyh?), but from the video this looked and sounded quite nice. Still, a piggy for the same reasons as dixan pointed out.

Congratulations for managing to crash my OS X. I havn't seen that happen since the 10.1 days.

Or at least the GUI stopped responding, the doc icon jumped, an empty small window opened and then no more.. I had to switch off the machine, I didn't try to ssh into it and kill off the demo process, maybe that would have worked?

Machine: Macbook Pro, C2D 2.2, 2GB, Nvidia 8600 128MB

At first, I found 17 mbyte a bit too much, but you obviously aren't sizecoding, so who gives a fuck.
Very nice scene transitions, decent music, and very sweet design. I loved the greet parts where you could see the lines, and there were many nice details here and there. I'll watch it again :)

graphics easily come across as the best part, i wasnt really floored by the music but it served the purpose (the piano part was nice), and the effects were fitting, but i felt the problem was that they kindof separated the parts with a really visible *clunk*, everything was too linear and it just made me actually realize that a next effect is coming... not that it ruined the experience, but it didn't really feel the experience was 100% because of that... more like 90% (which IS good, but still, why not greedy if possible? :)

Very stylish, the best parts were Dicabs models and Pasy's code, it's a shame h2o uses the same colour palette for nearly everything he does, thouse the graphics are stylish anyway.

Quite nice, but to be honest I don't really think it works well as an invitation. I miss a bit more energy, especially during the ending where you're supposed to leave everybody with the "hey, I want to go there!" feeling. It actually feels a bit depressing instead :)

ithaqua: i think they should get kudos for making an invitation zen, original and outstanding.

another hint: "digital garden" ;p
added on the 2008-02-24 15:29:46 by Zest Zest
Haha! Ithaqua makes THE observation here. If you asked me what it said in the last screen, my immediate emotions would say :"Those were the days, but sometimes we must accept the inevitable and get on with our lives. Breakpoint will never happen again!"

Still, this is very nice and polished all the way. A common thing to say about just about all demos is "it looks unfinished", but this strikes me as quite finished with all the slick graphics and the fancy transitions which noone really gets to do because deadline is coming. Not many sharp edges left here.

Brain food part : Greetings with spline makes brain hungry for more mildly interesting stuff.

Demo Social Skills part : Nostalgia sequence with screen shots of former glory and music to match.

If you want to live up to the ghettosceners label, you might want to have more riots, harassment and offending content next time :)

Thumb up, but it's cold for an invitro : the color scheme is too serious, and the music lacks a bit pace.
It's an attempt to do things differently, though, so big respect for that. :)

Quite possibility the most polished and sophisticated production by Rebels to date. H2O, I salute you and take my hat off to you for the graphics/design on this production. It's spot-on, elegant, smooth and beautiful. Pasy, I loved the cube-effects and the nice little nuances in the greetings part, such as the thin white lines the names are leaving. The flower made of cubes was absolutely beautiful, particularly when it started pulsating with light.

As for the music, a truly welll-polished track, Chromag. I only have one little thing i'd like to criticize/ask: Is it just me or were your melodies in some recent Rebels demo similar to this one? It's just that the melody sounds so familiar. I think you did exceptionally well with both the opening (guitar) and the end of the track in the credits part. The little orchestral touches fitted really well and gave the demo special attention in those two parts. For my personal taste, the track could have been a tiny bit more aggressive in the main part, since the visuals are very dynamic, IMO too dynamic for the flow of the song. But don't get me wrong, this is nitpicking. It's just that I have to find better comments than the previous "you rule" all the time, despite the fact that you do. :) Btw, did you play that guitar? (*applauds*)

And just for the record: This track has been on my headphone since I arrived at work this morning, and it's 1730h now. :)

Thanks for this, Rebels. It's been a pleasure to watch! Oh and I think it's great that you revisited the idea from your Assembly invitation, with the screenshots from earlier BP productions. It worked well in the Assembly invitation, and it works well again here. Well done!

Thanks for the feedback. I have looked through the latest Rebels releases with my music and couldn't find any similair parts in the melodies but you never know how deep melodies are engraved in your subconsciousness. Maybe it's also because I used similair lead instruments...

The idea for the structure and instrument setup of this track came immediately when we learned about this year's Breakpoint motto, Digital Garden. This may sound pretentious but the antagonism of artificial and organic elements are reflected in the use of synth and acoustic instruments, hence you can hear the orchestral instruments in the main part, too. Not very subtle ;)
If you play the music backwards, it says "Boobies for everyone"

Thumb goes for the sound!

Chromag: I heard (another version of) that track the other day on BitJam , I assume you did a "re-worked" version for this invitation.

Unfortunately the newer NV drivers are very buggy. I am unable to make custom resolutions in the latest 169.21. Therefore I have to stick with 93.71.
I do not see this problem in any other demos.

rulez added on the 2008-03-03 23:57:15 by SiR SiR
Don't bother.
I just installed 169.21 to test. The driver is severely broken - all textures are replaced with garbage - but it is still possible to see what should be going on. And the bug is still there. So no need to install old drivers to test this.

Anybody running 7900 who can / cannot reproduce the problem?
added on the 2008-03-04 15:35:14 by lemmus lemmus
7900 and 169.21 drivers (xp32) here, and it works flawlessly.

Oh, and before I forget:

At my end, the 169.21 driver produces garbage instead of textues. I have reinstalled it twice - same result.

big blue cubes on fractal-trees or whatever makes it look like crap. to be honest i think you are making the effects look so ugly. color-scheme sucks. you should have used more orange warm colors. music is not suitable for this kind of demo.

I never liked this invitation at all tbh. It serves its purpose in the minimal sense but I think it's aesthetically quite poor. The music in this context can only be as good as the visuals allow it to be. Possibly the most bland and unappealing invitation to an easterparty.
