the visuals certainly had a lot of potential, which didn't quite come through in the intro. piggy for that.

light effects are good, but the demo is too abstract for me. maybe unlinked objects are more easy to fit in 64k than reality scenes...

i think the principles of a fair work very well here.
Flashy lights, chaos, fast changing perspektives with diffuse optics.
And even the corny (but well produced) music fits.

The kaleidoscope part and the motion blur were the good bits, the rest just didn't work on any level - the synth stuttering half the time probably didn't help :(
added on the 2014-02-03 15:43:50 by Gargaj Gargaj
Love the visual style and feeling, colors, postfx, music, pretty much everything except direction, which I think could use some tuning. However, I think everything else makes up for it and the whole intro just looks & feels great.

It was also great to meet you urs and cupe and thanks for letting me to take a peek at your demotool - it looked awesome and you gave me a lot of new ideas to think about!

Everything done right here, from the idea, thru the code, the music-choice, the post-process to the execution.
Feels like being on a fair for some longer -> 6 Beers and some Vodkas later! ;)

Nice to find out black ain´t that bad as a background in a demo, as everyone wants to imply you in todays scene, isn´t it? ;) From an artistic point of view: "You need sth the colors can stand out against" [/BobRoss]

I dig the colors and post-proc (plus I'm a sucker for glowy stuff), but the composition of the scenes really put me off. Soundtrack was not bad but a tad too dull to support the visuals. Piggie it is :)

There's some really nice work in the "look"-department here, but overall there is no story, no real concept, and the music was just not my cup of tea - it also just goes on and on. Less is more. :)

After giving up to turn the brightness down I started to really like it.

Feels a tad repetitive and not that well-synced to the music at times (only watched the video, though), but the atmosphere and the camera shakes are really nice!
rulez added on the 2014-02-17 17:54:32 by Y0Gi Y0Gi
I'm possibly missing something since some people seem fond of the direction, but it just didn't connect with me at all. I liked the postprocessing, but the lens dirt was distracting.

OMG! This is a really nice concept. Amazing, how showing less can give so much more (compared e.g. to SD/Adrenalin). I'm personally totally blown away by the shaky and really abstract/blurry scenes. Could have been one of my new favorites, if it would have been even more abstract and vage.

And obviously you remember this from Siggraph :-)

Best music on a 64k demo I've ever heard.

quite nice rendering, moblur and composition, don't know about the music - it doesn't hit what it's trying to achieve fully i think.

Forgot to thumb this, really like the concept and the music. Still highly enjoyable 10 years after its release !
