i'm speechless
Excellent!
this was so fuckin' awesome (albeit in the barrage of hectic and humoristic action there were a few slow seconds that felt they didn't belong there)! Also huge props for the camera angles on the tank just before the greetings part, it gave me little tears of joy :-D
the best production at assembly this year for sure
that was very cinamatic! astonishing effects and camera work. bravo!
MOTHER FUCKING AWESOME
excellent work
btw. the information is incorrect. this is done by HBC, not just maxon. Oh and the video file is fucked up, too.

The audio is messed up. The video must be some broken stream rip or whatever (colours look off too).
Besides, this is of course A+++ material. Best thing released at Assembly this year.

Excellent !
Holy shit...

Bestest work guys!

Sooo good
what fiver2 said.
Of course worthy of the o-mighty-thumb.
Oh Maxon and friends, never ever quit! This is fantastic in every which way!
Absolutely fantastic stuff!! Maybe this can get entered in Siggraph!? About the audio stream, it seems there is some kinda buffer overflow going on. :(:(:(:( Still gets a mighty thumb tho. :D:D
The visuals are PERFECT. I loved that desaturated vintage look...just beautiful. Not only that, but everything is so well directed and imaginative.
A phenomenal feat!
A phenomenal feat!
Awesome stuff again!
rocks the audience
Amazing stuff! Those "julia-desert-fractals" were shockingly beautiful!
I bet that in some years Maxon will be a household name similar to what Pixar is now. One of the best prods at Assembly ever.
dfast, master of f0nk.
bestest wild evah
the 2CV, my sweet childhood car, HOW DID YOU DARE ;)
best party mood ever!

Thank you everybody but this istua in a wrong group. Ours is 1/2-bit cheese (hbc). Can somebody please please transfer this.

2 CV roxx0r ! :)
imho the bestest prod of the party
Great style!
If I could, I'd give it three thumb ups! Pure quality!
Where to begin with describing this ... It's just a flawless joyride with impeccable timing and transitions.
It just seems like I've seen this several times before?
It's obvious a tonne of work has gone into this, it just doesn't do it for me. Especially the parts with the cars that just dragged on forever, like a doodle that doesn't know where it's going.

4D part was the best ~
My god, you have the best ideas in years .. and the talent to make them come out this good..
This was so good i had to take my pants of to really enjoy it the second time i saw it..

Okay what the fuck already. Why are you not millionares and riding John Lasseter out of business already?
This is the most impressive film production I have ever seen in a demoscene compo.

ah, maxon, you're a genius, can you write an nfo file about all the members of HBC involved in this production?
hot damn!
The trip of a lifetime!
And people still talk about navis transitions. Great work, as usual.

What a ride :)
awesome to the max like all maxon&friends stuff. depressing because i can't ever reach the same level :P
very good!
Great!
i felt the fractals were completely out of place though.
Rules!!!
I'm speechless! The best trip I've ever had!
Brilliant! A second thumb up for the MFX reference :-)
The capped.tv-version suffers from the same sound-bugs as the MP4, so please remove it and upload a proper one when maxon releases that.
cars animations in the dessert,
house music

Looooove.
The capped.tv version is going through the normal encoder now. It was uploaded as a direct mp4. The encoder should re-sync the audio, but might sound a little odd.
In any case: proper vid please. <3

Can't wait for the hi-quality version.

Brimming with creativity and style. Major props.
Professional throughout, non-compromised quality and creativity.
ohyeah and imho it lacks sound effects.
are you from ivalo?
Hello again
I just must say that because of the intensiveness of this project and the incredible tight schedule, there just are lots and lots of stuff missing. Lighting is often too bright or just plain and things are intersecting and there comes no particles out of the ground or not really any kind of effects. Sound or otherwise.
So if your comment is about what's missing or what needs to be fixed in this prod, it's propably so because we just didn't have the time to make of fix it. In every second of the film I could name a couple of things that could be improved, but that's the way this goes. I didn't even want to get a job for this summer because of the time this project needed and still didn't get it anywhere near the glory I would like it to be.
But I'm glad with the end result we accomplished in the time we had.
Btw, I'm planning on releasing a big making-of-field-trip package some day near future. Check out the .nfo.
I'm making the high-quality-version as we speak, but I'm also gonna fix a couple of major things that annoyed me, like the blinking red light at the zoom-scene will be removed - I have no idea why I had to put it there. Maybe my sleeplessness had it's part in the play. And also the zoom-scene's lightness is a bit too bright. And maybe some other things.
Like I noted in the .nfo, I'm going to encode the high-quality version with the help of this: Super-tutorial and with the following settings:
Codec: x264
File Format: MKV
Video profile: HQ-Insane
Automated 2pass
6000 kbps bitrate
Shouldn't take more than a week max definitely.
I have a hunch you'll be enjoying it :)
Thanks.

Hehe chavez, I'm not from Ivalo. It was basically korpi's greeting, and I'm not sure if he's from Ivalo either. But I think the greeting suits there. No need to stay too boxed in :)

Oh... and what the hell, let's make it 10000 kbps bitrate - or both :)

AS much as I would've liked to chime in with the "this is the best thing, like, EVAR" crowd - the story or theme just didn't resonate with me in any way.
Then again, It had its moments (when you played with the scale of things, and even the now obligatory infinite zoomer) and the technical execution is so good that it fully deserves a thumb up, so here it comes :)

Wooohoo.... Maxon & HBC, i bow down!!

Awesome work.
100% awesome!
some synch problems and probably something to do with audio encoding kept annoying me. It's really professional and well done but it's not the best I've seen from you guys. Thumb up.
some nice references and seriously polished as usual
That's amazing! Incredible quality!
But I want to see next time some story, as kb_ said

good animation work, but i do dislike the soundtrack. still worth a thumb up.
Impressive quality and detail!

WTF guys! That was just sheer brilliance from start to finish. The rendering, modeling, animating, 2D, music.. Enjoyed every second of it. It'll be hard to top this one, and I can't wait for you to try ;)
And who needs a story? Better this kind of awesome random eye candy than the usual badly executed, cliched and childish scene "story" (Odyssey, Tribes, I could go on all night)

gahaha this is so fucking awesome :D I probably didn't get most references and yet it easily got me laughing out loud several times, especially during the amazingly awesome homage to ultimatum to the world. fuckings to stories, please keep doing things like this :D
hahaha break and stijntje, I like your comments :P They suit with this prod.
But I sure tell you it ain't always be like this (without story), but it'll be sometimes be like this again also - it'll always depend on what mood we are.
Besides, I think a perfect motto for us would be "If it doesn't give something new, it's not worth releasing"
Thank you again.
Still slowly working on the super-HQ-version. Stay tuned.

Oh, and thanks to the fellow who changed the Thumbnail for this prod, I didn't even think that suited so well to represent this movie. I think I'm gonna put that image on the DVD-cover I'm going to include into the bonus-material-release

Let's hope you'll get some challenge next year.
Awesome again! I think that realtime demo wannabe will always hold a special place in my heart, but this is fantastic as well. I do hope that someone, anyone, can come along to challenge you next time! :D

Maybe the best wild i've ever seen!
wow. just wow.
One of the best wilds ever
maxon & fellas, thanks to you, the "short film" competition finally had sense! trully amazing :D
RULEZ !
Jawdroppingly good looking. If I'd have to criticize something, it'd be the lack of any kind of story, but this was otherwise just so brilliant that it didn't even bother me that much.
But it would be cool to see something more than technology showreels from you in the future ;)

no story, who cares =) great visuals, interesting to watch even on the 3rd time, and with a cool scene 'feel' about it
Wow :D Outstanding visuals! Some nice demoscene references too :) A high quality wild that I would like to see more of!
Cuts, little gags, rhythm and the other fundamental animation principles put into great use. One of the highlights of the party.
video crashes on my computer, exe plz
so nice so happy
Nice! :D
the recursion looks so damn nice...
...very kewl prod,thanX :)

Keep on rocking!

you guys are insane...
Excellent!
Awesome!
good work = rules!
Enjoyable.
Holy shit, this is awesome! Everything is just really great! Outstanding graphics, cool direction, perfect timing, lovely colors, nice music, and even some 3d fractals for us geeks :P And the mfx and fb references where amusing too! Excellent show!
Masterful, and nice mfx nod.
Unbelievably cool!

noone mentioned the kindernoiser reference yet? :)
and yeah, this probably one of the s(l)ickest demoscene prods ever, if not one of the best.
and yeah, this probably one of the s(l)ickest demoscene prods ever, if not one of the best.
Well, I guess the authors should say which things are references and which things aren't. Having a 4d julia set as a kindernoiser reference is like having a shopping kart as a farbrausch reference. It can be, but doesn't have to. Reference to mfx's demo is really obvious tho.
the angles were more or less the same on the julia set though
Instant classic.
wanna tell something but this one blew me completly away on the stream, even if the other prods hadnt this quality standard, for this it was worth to watch the assembly-stream.
Thanks a hibbygibby for the high-qual version! This prod makes me so happy I could shit!
So much love!!!!
So much love!!!!
Awesome!
cool and fresh!
superb
stunning !!
keep doing it !
keep doing it !
2CV ftw!
Amazing, simply amazing! Worthy winner. I would have loved to see that on the bigscreen.
wow
the feeling is as great as in older assembly wild demos! this really rules!
Just great. It already looks more polished and less rushed then almost any demo out there.
Soundtrack please!
Nice side-hits ;)
Amazing. I loved the part with the 3D fractal.
Salinga: soundtrack added
411mb lol...
Bonus materials added
w00t
Only saw a fraction of the content yet but awesome already! Props for releasing this!

The amount of thought, preparation, planning and overall effort that went into this project is phenomenal!
Really interesting to look at! Thanks a lot!
Sweeeet! It's even a little inspiring :)
Oh, and thanks for the wallpaper. It scales decently to 1900x1200.
great stuff. thanks.
Stop whining about the size, you fucking morons. What part of "bonus material" don't you get?
But I digress. Rules, thanks guys.

Tons of goodness :D (and a good reminder to see if there's a watchable video of the production now)
Thanks a lot. Whoever complains about the size of this gift is a fucking moron. Really.
Dunno what went wrong with the original video (or maybe something in vlc got fixed?) but I watched it first time round and was left feeling it was probably a bit disappointing underneath the video skips and crappy sound.
Now I've seen it properly though, it's really good! Excellent design and animation, good flow, good music.. massive thumb up!

nice making of stuff
Ultrastylish animation.. found also already the way on my ipod for watching when not sitting in front of the computer :D
SaphirJD, good point, I think I'm gonna release a ipod-version of all the future releases now on
Super!
The making of rocks as well! you guys are so professional.
nice look and feel!
Simply incredible, instant love.
Kickass animation, pure demo-style while not being one, someday soon, it will be realtime :)
simply incredible!
almost too good to be released as a scene release.

Yeah
Makes no sense at all. Is insanely great nonetheless. I like that. :)
Superb.

i wrote a fan letter to maxon and he didn't answer :[
A 2 year delayed thumb up. I think I was so blown away when it was release that i forgot to comment
Thank you all for such a positive feedback :D
@vibrator: I'm sorry for the my late answer to the letter - naturally I read everything straight away - and answer them eventually - sometimes it just takes a bit time :P Thank you for the writing. You've a very good attitude towards money (or the fact that we don't really need it :)

what some random other guy with a thumbup said
<3
extra!
Pure fun from the first to the last minute. i need to pay more attention to the wild stuff. this is awesome.
This is still HBC's best prod, which means this is one of the very best animations ever.
This is so good I don't even know where to begin. Fuck Pixar!
What the hell, how have I never seen this? Awesome work!
wohoo, mfx Luftballonpanzer ^-^
:*
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a ride!
Just wow! Why are they so awesome? Great animation with character and just pure fun. Awesome greetings part.
What can I say: Style and Skill to the max!
great stuff! it's the kind of prod who makes me like "wild competition" again :)
rulez, of course.
very nice.
Insanely fluent and prolofic for the first minute and a half or so, then becomes a lot more uneven (obviously lower render quality at times) but with obviously some stellar parts. Not my favorite from this stellar team, but there's no way though any body part could point anywhere but up while watching this.
Oh my gosh I love it! The style, the atmosphere--everything!
.good stuff
I just HAD to thumb it up!
мой мозг отлично 10/10 оценка
Insane imaginative delicious ride, crafted in every detail :)
Wonderful demo, awesome soundtrack!
Awesome, more please !
That was damn stylish and it still is!

Over a decade later, I think this is possibly one of my top 3~5 favourite demoscene prods. I love it to pieces.
The YouTube comments from people unfamiliar with the Scene, who enjoyed it while not quite understanding what they saw, also put a grin on my face. :)
