Love the rendering

The idea is amazing and its executed on a high level. Wow!
The thing i don't understand is, why it is not with its original soundtrack which tops this soundscape by a mile (And if the argument is size, i bet you guys could have come up with something to solve that).

Clever portioning of size (the opening 20-30 seconds is probably responsible for like 70% the size by my guess) and decent storytelling.

really cool and fresh, but to me the illusion is broken by high framerate. it needed to be locked to about 18 ;), with like `t = floor(t*18.)/18.;` or something

Another deserved win for LJ.

Ha! I really dig the church cam and the birds, that was kick ass. I must admit the the horror thing didn't catch me on the big screen but dude, that's not something to watch home alone in a dark room (like i did yesterday night). really great work, good story telling and great details on that guy. it's not the end, right? right?!

Fuck yeah, from my favourite LJ.
Especially loved the music - didn't sound like 4k and that pitchbend on the sines was tasty.
The visuals/vibe/camerawork/sync just worked so well. Was captivated.

I could watch that 1h30 movie... would take 64k I bet.

I love it as it is. If there is no space for the "better" soundtrack, then that's how it is. This is a 4k that apart from the usual density, rendering and visual brilliance actually moves me, in an unsettling, goosebumpy, exciting way. The soundtrack that accompanied it works perfectly well here. Take my 7th, painstakingly farmed CDC as token of appreciation.

♥️

Super solid, great atmosphere. If nitpicking, I'm not totally sold on the soundscape, and it would have been great with some sort of image quality degradation on the simple/clean raymarching
rulez added on the 2025-04-23 00:48:05 by Psycho Psycho
Very atmospheric! Got to appreciate that so much attention was put to little details (film scratches and film rolling sounds etc...) They just "are there" and are easy to forget about if not paying attention. Which means great visual coherency.

Found footage short in 4k?!! Wtf! Absolutely amazing, visceral, outstanding work. Soundtrack + cinematography, every fits just in the right place! love this!

Great prod, although there's something in the finish/execution that doesn't work 100% for me. Perhaps it's the camera shake that's sort of weird, or the lack of noise, or just that you expect the birds to go behind the house and then they sort of alpha blend with it instead. Perhaps spending a few extra bytes and going into the 8K compo would have taken this from great to legendary? Anyway, obviously worthy winner.
rulez added on the 2025-04-25 16:36:21 by Sesse Sesse
Good show! A couple of shots could've hidden certain basic geometry better to help maintain suspension of disbelief, but that's a tiny nitpick if anything.

Thank you for this 4k, LJ. It's cinematic and even kinda creeped me out even though the horror cliches made me laugh out loud when watching the compo. Storytelling is not easy with this strange technical medium of ours, yet still you do it.
rulez added on the 2025-04-27 15:29:16 by cce cce
great creepy cinematic story, the sound design adds up making for a perfect ensemble. and all that in 4k.
rulez added on the 2025-04-28 12:27:00 by svo svo
feels like a natural extension from your recent prods and is a feat for sure. very authentic sound and visual processing
rulez added on the 2025-05-03 14:13:32 by 0b5vr 0b5vr
really ambitious project, with some great stuff - the film fx look nice, the typography is great... it doesn't quite hit me horror-wise, but that's easily forgiven given the constraints, and I have to applaud the fact that you went for this at all. Nice one!
rulez added on the 2025-05-03 15:24:20 by ferris ferris
Thanks for the all the kind words! Until the intro ran in the compo I really wasn't sure if it'd work, if it'd be more than the sum of its parts, or if I had sacrificed too much in the process of taking it to 4k.

I just uploaded the final version, capture and nfo, so check it out if you havent already :)

Regarding the fps, the party zip I uploaded in partymeister had multiple executables in it for testing purposes, due to my elite naming scheme the executable that was shown during the compo didn't have the frame limiter enabled, that's on me though, should've uploaded a separate zip, used better naming or left an orga-note.

cons: virgills (already optimized) soundtrack was ~540 bytes larger than mine, we're talking compressed size here, I'm raw dogging the soundtrack on the gpu to make it fit, it was this or no third act, regardless of how I spun it, all components of this intro are at the limit of what can be trimmed away without it falling apart, but hey if you can tell me where to find 540 bytes here I'm all ears, with that many bytes more I could've made the intro twice as long :P

I really adore the Night of the Hunter vibe in the first half, and while I didn't like the second half as much aesthetically, it's probably the best genuine horror I've seen in a prod, so that's great too :)

wtf I wrote a long comment earlier and it's not here?

anyway, good prod.

the "old film" look is done wrong, as it looks like projector gate would be jittering
