- 4k Windows Waillee by Prismbeings
- Absolutely stunning. Superb direction, music (esp. the instrumentation) and visuals that could easily stand on their own in any other category (including rendered motion graphics). The fact that there's a coherent story is just icing on the cake. Really nice to watch, sucks you right in and doesn't let go. And it runs well. And the swell at the end clips _just_ enough.. :) Somehow I love this even more than Absolute Territory.
Nitpicks: technically mostly variations of super basic geometry with some (in some areas quite lowres-looking) procedural materials, iteration glow and DoF which with _any_ sharper depth gradients would look _really_ bad (and it definitely rides this fine line with the two spherical bodies if you look at the edges - luckily the framing is nice enough that you're not really supposed to look there) - but yet again, none of that matters at all. (and the title isn't as good as Absolute Territory, but I digress.. :D)
It feels like watching a meticulously crafted magic trick, where even though the method is simple all of the misdirection and patter are so flawlessly executed that even if a trained eye sees right through it, you're still left with a wonderful feeling inside and wanting more. A good reminder that in the scene there's plenty of room for an entire spectrum of productions ranging from mad effects shows to, well.. magic. :)
So yeah.. bra fucking vo :)
P.S. What was that about 4k not being enough for proper camera/sync/direction again? - rulezadded on the 2017-10-01 01:22:32
