well, this is basically a slideshow with this noise added, but it is something different and it is nice!

Well, this sure ain't the usual. Demo effects?? Barely. Plenty of crossfading and overlayed grain, plus a small bit of zooming/scaling. But hey, it was polished and a nice change. (Although I'm still not sure if there was a story or not. Just a general atomosphere??)

Some of you cried when you watched this, didn't you? Sissy boys. :) The photography is good, but too bad there's no point to it. Maybe Melwyn was just really obsessed with that girl. :) Awaiting "smells like teen spirit"...

Slide Show? Demo? Whatever It's Beautiful and It Steels my wool.

I like it very much, point or no point with the pictures.

I think I would have removed (digitally) the network and power sockets plus ome of the details on the windows, though.

Sorry man, but something is wrong here.
This is not a demo, the demos who don't use all the main demo-things (CODE+music+gfx) aren't demos, and even if they look good, i'll give a "sucks" comment. Can I tell that my dog is a demo ? So tomorrow i'll take lot of photos. Yes the woman is very beautiful, sure the demo is a woman, but the woman isn't a demo. If we consider that something nice is a demo, so i'll gave a "rulez" here, but sorry, this isn't a demo, this is nothing. Sorry.

I think it's beautiful, apart from being a fair attempt at something different.
rulez added on the 2003-01-13 01:49:37 by sin sin
[Skarab] IMHO too many demos are created using the device "What can we do?", this is a very fine example of "What would we like to do". It does not feature all your favourite demo-effects... and it might not exploit the possibilities of the best of hardware, but this demo makes you wonder... what, why, how? And that's nice for a change.
added on the 2003-01-13 02:05:37 by beyond beyond
all: your comments make me sick.

nice pics, nice track, nice concept,
didnt like the demo much though.

That's okay ps, I think there's quite a number of people who get sick of you. Fair trade, so to speak.

Nice concept, this.

I watched it without a sound system and nontheless I would give it a rulez...
I think I'll watch it again tomorrow at home, and I'll rate and comment this production as it deserves.

A well deserved thumb up!
Something different...
Just a point, I'd have made some transitions, in the middle section, a bit faster... but, of course, "there is always something left to improve" ;)

nice. Just didn't find the "alternative demo" in it. photography slideshow I would say.

the girls looks a bit like a clown to me, with her 'gezupfte Augenbrauen'. sorry. and all in all very 'kitschig'. But my teacher told me, that you can sometimes find some truth in kitsch. i don´t know. it´s ok.

If this should be called art, then she had to get rid of her clothes.

If this should be called kitsch, she also had to get rid of her clothes and she had to piss on the floor.

It's great to see a PC demo that fully understood that intention of our demo compo: to do something different. Who bloody cares if something is defined to be a "demo" in the Oxford English Dictionary. PC demos hardly need to show off polygon counts these days. Let's just be creative and be happy.

Oh, and any demo that generates controversy can't be bad.

I guess my comment was lost in "The Great Pouet Crash of 2003".

Sweet production the likes of which has never been seen before. It was different and touching.

It was also a big inspiration for us to make our first serious production: http://pouet.net/prod.php?which=10846

2) there is no real story/message, at least i didn't see it
3) just some strange photos
4) you could easily do this in flash or as an animation - no real programming involved
5) boring...

The show is quite nice and I like the atmosphere at the beginning but nevertheless became a little bit bored as it went on.
Still nice!

good conceptually, glad i watched this for something different. Felt some of the photos were over-posed, and likewise some stills were a little drawn out in the cut, giving a very "highschoolish" touch. :/
good music though, a nice try. pig.
