Hey all... I've been roped into doing the English Speaking Award, and I thought, hell, why not do my topic on the demoscene, give it some press... However, what I'd like to do it slap a demo in. I've been advised to keep the demo down to 20 seconds or less... Yeah right! Anyone know of any intros/demos that are between 30 seconds/1 minute worth mentioning? Size ain't important, but the "cool" factor is a must - these people really do bum English, so it's a hard task!

Yeah, so any suggestions?

maybe you could ask someone[s] (or a group) to create a 30 seconds presentation for you...?

It's not an hard task, speaking about code and design.
I think the hard job is for the musician, that, in fact, have to be a "jingler".

Why not buy demoDVD, capture some of the demos (for your own personal use), bring them into Premiere or Edit* and edit up your own 30 second 'best of' demo? :)

waffle, show a crackintro! =)

or give everyone some greens , hehe, and show you know wich intro=)

Tume by Mass is 7 seconds IIRC.

98 seconds by calodox is cool, but guess the length? :-)

Power by Elmü
a piece of crap, but is around 23 seconds, if you don't count the "and now enjoy the music" part...

project:2501 by teklords is my first released demo and about 33 seconds long :) (~3 seconds intro and exactly 30 seconds rest).

i should maybe do a remix of that and re-release it (don't think the normal version runs on current machines anymore)

well, all those elitegroup teaser demos are pretty short.

And most of my demos are not much longer than 90 seconds either. ;)

"Why not buy demoDVD, capture some of the demos" -- Or, just grab the featurette/trailer at ftp.demodvd.org and use that, it's 1 minute long and the last 30 seconds are all clips from demos.

why not just take a 30sec fragment of something?

Noice has a demo called "30 sek demo" :-)

heavy 30sec demos could easily start being bigger in size than a mpeg of them. would be very stupid and everything.

i think coma had one very short and very nice demo. can't remember name

make sure you get some demo that doesn't contain lots and lots of spelling errors and/or lame scenepoetry

all elitegroup trailers are about 30 seconds.
