• demo Windows fr-041: debris. by Farbrausch [web]
• wow. thanks a lot for all this scarily incredible feedback.
  there have been lots of comments about possible influences of films and videos, so maybe i can add something to this.
  dark city is obvious. then there's of course panic room, and some spiderman 2. and the fish swarms in deep blue (i guess that film was also responsible for a certain scene in starstruck ;) also koyanisqatsi was very important to what i seek for in achieving with a demo in general. i haven't seen finalfantasyVII the movie or metropolis (the anime), though (but i think i should do so). nobody has mentioned radioheads "go to sleep" by alex rutterford (also director of the incredible gantz graf video), yet. also very obviously the 3.7 billion movies and tv-series' with shaky handcamera influenced my camera work and i think there's also some christo in debris. i had the worst moment when about one year ago i bought "onedotzero_select dvd4" as it contained the brillant music-video to airs "electronic performers". it also contained another video: "sometimes" by pleix (it is linked somewhere above). when i saw it i just thought "damn. that's just what i had in mind for debris. only better." since then i force everybody to see that video. the second moment of "omg. - they 'stole' my idea before i could use it myself" was when i saw x-men3 and they had a giant moving bridge in it. same as with the pleix video i loved and hated it at the same time. but the most important influence probably was living in a city. during the last two years whenever i was walking through hamburg i imagined rotating houses, moving objects, diving bridges, crushing streets. waiting for a train can be quite entertaining that way ;) also visiting l.a. had its influence on debris. (you might even recognize some buildings). one bridge was taken from the white stripes' "the hardest button to button".
  two more incidents were quite influencial, too. although this demo has nothing to do with 911 at all, the word "debris" was burned into my head when watching a documentary about 911. i just loved the phonetics of it. and, coincidentally, also the other big american catastrophy left its mark. when the pictures of the flooded new orleans appeared, there were houses and bridges melting with the water everywhere. as tragic as it was, the visual impression was incredible. there was one particular picture of a bridge, which looked as if it was just diving into the water and i knew i had to somehow capture that impression for debris.
  some more similarities to films i came up with are the scene with the pirate corporations in "the meaning of life" and the first appearance of the marshmallow man in "ghostbusters".
  k... that's all that comes to my mind at the moment. let me know if you find some more :)

• demo Windows Noumenon by Andromeda [web]
• nexus 7 was my favourite demo for quite some time and now, more than twelve years later my heros are back :) great comeback - BUT: i was planning my next demo to be a ride through a 3d infinite zoom - i already made some test scenes with houses and bridges - i think i'll have to come up with another concept now ;)
  oh, and it's good to hear you're here to stay :)))

• demo Windows Above by lkcc [web] & Bauknecht [web]
• really great atmosphere and underrated imo. the clouds in the end look just awesome.

• demo Windows Fairytale by Traction [web] & Brainstorm [web]
• one of the most beautiful demos i have seen. a perfect combination of traction style and asd style. soundtrack is great, too. would have been perfect if that greyish object and the leaves would have been left out.

• demo Windows Happens. by Ümlaüt Design [web]
• not as well executed as usually - especially the great feeling for timing known from gargaj prods is missing here. and for some reason the punch line seemed obvious after a few seconds.
