- 8k Windows The Last Dance by Fulcrum [web] & Horology
- This could've won if not for the plastic instruments and the noisy DOF in my opinion. Nice to see actual competition among 8ks this year, though!

excellent idea, great execution. too much of an IT reference, but still, does it well :)
This. Truly glad you guys keep pushing the limits of storytelling in 8ks. - rulezadded on the 2019-04-27 06:06:40

i Kinda feel like i have to thumb it up - still a great tech feat after all - in hopes of seeing something new next time
This. Everything is just as stale as it is high-tech. There is only one scene that is actually new and worth discussing—the hallway lights—and even that has a stylistic choice that doesn't sit well with me: the invisible light sources. I don't know. - isokadded on the 2019-04-27 05:47:05
- 4k Amiga OCS/ECS Don't be square by Loonies [web]
- Perfect flow, as expected from Loonies. You guys never fail to deliver when it comes to intros, no matter the platform!

- demo invitation Windows Transformer 3 by Limp Ninja [web]
- The best invitation out of the invitation compo! Definitely should've won.

- demo Windows VO by JvB
- Incredibly pleasing both visually and musically, I'm honestly shocked it didn't place in top-3. That said, it feels like the JvB/SOTE demos feel a bit too similar to each other, so maybe that's why?

Visually a small step up from some of the previous Hoodlum works (kudos for actually using a screenshot for the screenshot!), but otherwise is about as corny and poorly directed as ever. - isokadded on the 2019-04-27 05:09:27
- demo invitation Windows sp04 - Airplane? by Spacepigs [web] & vacuum [web]
- What Zavie said, except with a weak thumb since it did make me laugh after all (more so than Spider Kim, but less so than Hello, Kevin and Echo Chamber). It's a good lesson for the PC demo producers, too: if you don't try harder, Spacepigs will come after you. And as much as I love Kevin and the rest, I really do hope you move on to create fresh new characters and regain the bite in your satire.

- invitation Wild LED the sun shine in your heart by vacuum [web]
- I know it was intended to be painful to look at, but it was so in more ways than one, and this is a shame.
1. Setting up took far too long. Like, really. It wasn't fair to subject the audience to something so tedious during a compo, considering a 20-minute video of the setup would have been disqualified on the grounds of breaking the 8-minute time limit, but apparently it was considered fine because it was done live? I believe the panels could have been installed beforehand in a clearly visible location instead (on/near the right wall?) and used for more than just showing that one demo.
2. For how powerful you made it sound it sure struggled to compete with reflected light coming off the projector screen. Kilowatts mean little when the total luminous flux is nothing to write home about.
3. The demo itself was like a slap in the face after all that build-up. Which felt even more aggravating after the already-horrible Trasidio presentation which suffered the exact same problems. I actually thought you were trolling everyone.
4. "A 10m deadly toilet tunnel to walk through, including fog, audio feedback, trying to make it next to impossible for visitors to reach the toilets at Underground Conference" actually sounds like a cool and clever (if scarily hazardous) concept. But the actual presentation at the compo made it look like a "hey, here's yet another LED demo player, except with 100 times more LEDs", which is the single dumbest way to go about it. LED strip screens are nothing new at this point; they're basically inferior OLED screens. You actually have to come up with clever uses that take advantage of their modular, three-dimensional nature in order to make them worth the engineering effort, and this didn't come across at all in the compo.
(And I'd really like to reiterate that I didn't appreciate how this project stretched the compo rules—I think this should be something to look into going forward.) - sucksadded on the 2019-04-27 04:02:05
- wild Wild Trasidio by Tristar & Red Sector Inc. [web]
- Honestly, this presentation did pretty much everything wrong. For how huge of an engineering undertaking this is, it's almost mind-boggling how you've failed to sell it to the audience. Having to suffer through 5.5 minutes of boring, monotone, poorly scripted, shoddily-edited, single-take introduction for less than two minutes of the actual sound of the synthesizer—and even then it wasn't any sort of a complete composition, but rather an incoherent sequence of bleeps and bloops that made me question why you even bothered. Impressive, but not in a good way. Makes the final product looks worse than it deserves. :\
