• The jagged edges in the screen kinda ruined the experience a bit. I like the phone as matter of fact, and I thought the bottle was a nice touch as well.

  I expect if and when someone actually finds the sources it will take a bit of the magic away

  Having found two so far, I can tell you that it doesn't. Everyone draws inspiration from other moving images. I borrowed some shots in the past as well. As long as you make your own twist and you remodel the entire scene, I don't see no problem in learning from the great masters of cinema.
  
  My initial thought was to post the screenshots I found in this thread. I already uploaded the images. Later on I realised it is way more fun if people stumble upon those shots themselfs and all of a sudden remember Darkness Lay Your Eyes Upon Me :)
  
  A small hint would be this thread: How to camera.

• This was the highlight of the entire party for me, and that was due to one single shot that really struck a nerve in a good way. Since this prod is so epic it deserves a decent breakdown. The introduction with the logo was as hyping as the slide that came before it.
  
  The black screen with the quote was promising, but the scene afterwards with the sun didn't do it for me. It kinda felt like the old Conspiracy demos. It was nice and all but I wasn't blown away. Mainly due to the mountains that lacked pointy edges I guess. Also the fact that the tree line didn't had any see through perspective killed it for me.
  
  The shot that followed changed this. I liked the water at first but than I noticed the trees. Wow. Although the leaves seemed a bit artificial, the composting of the shot alone made me clap. I even yelled 'wow'. Little did I knew what was going to happen afterwards, although the quote in the beginning hinted at some dark stuff. The title gave that away as well. So having two shots which were relaxed really build up tension. After rescanning the shot a couple of times I was left with the feeling that even though the composting was awesome, those trees tried to act real but they weren't. 'Nice attempt' I thought, just when the next scene was introduced.
  
  So far for 'nice attempt', this was some photo-realistic stuff! The sun shining through that single tree was just amazing. I yelled, and clapped as did the entire crowd! Blurring that tree in the background added so much depth into the whole shot, I was mesmerized. I took it all in, breathed out.
  
  The next shot with the white building was just insane, I felt like I could actually walk up towards that building and hide in it, to take cover for what undoubtedly coming. This was the fourth shot were nothing was happening, which raised the tension even more. The cornfield in the back, the wooden white house: we're in the USA for sure. So now we have a theme and a setting. Placing that tree in front of the house was a solid choice since it added a lot of depth. '. Someone actually thought framing each single shot' I thought.
  
  After the house came the shot that really did it for me. It was like a Debris-moment. The premise unfolded. Here is our main antagonist and he is pissed off. This is no terrorist: this is an arsonist. thought off that Batman quote: 'some man just want to see the world burn'. Standing there with a burned up torch, watching the flames. I was dumbfounded. Like a million glass particles with refraction shattered all over the place. The framing, the composting, the colors, the contrast,.. was I even watching a 64k here? And than I realized how technically complex this shot was: it wasn't. Our engine is able to pull this off. And that shows true craftsmanship: it is not the amount of polys one can push, it is building as troy scene by scene, taking the audience on a visual trip. This scene was by far the most impressive one in all the compos and I'm not exaggerating here. Less is more. I instantly felt in love with this angry dark atmosphere. This person standing here is going to take over the world, just to destroy it. He doesn't care about such trivial things like property-rights or human lives. He just burned down an entire cornfield to make a statement and he probably isn't going to stop just there.
  
  To finish it off, the next shot was just as beautiful framed as the last one. Raising the camera towards his ears without actually moving it showed that the entire prod had been carefully story-boarded. There was nothing to do than clap. Again. I kinda lost count but what could I do?
  
  The shot where we see the person in full obviously generated even more claps out of the audience, I assume because the introduction was done and the bass dropped for the first time. I felt a bit betrayed since this was the first shot which made a lot of sense, and up till now it was all suspense. I didn't clap because I figured the tension curve was now broken. Needless to say it looked stunning, but it ruined the visual storytelling.
  
  Back again with the next shot. Full moon means trouble. It brings out the madness in people. I had flashbacks of 'The Purge: Anarchy'. This is a bad timing to be outside!
  
  It looked like my assumption was right on the money since the next shot put us in the city. You don't want to be in this city. It is not safe. I didn't even noticed the watery reflections at first because my mind was racing with thoughts: this guy who burned everything down could just walk into here and burn the place down. Maybe there are even more man with the same intentions.
  
  No surprise, in the next shot there is another one. Or is it the same? I couldn't help but notice the reflections and the way the materials reacted to the light sources. Another clapping moment, pff they are roasting the competition I thought with a smile. Maybe a head could have worked wonders on the model but everything was forgiven.
  
  This shot threw me back to the man standing there with his torch, but now he is actually in the city, ready to wreck uuh,. havoc I guess? The shot that followed, with the road reeked of post Armageddon. Like a mob of people thrashed the place. This was kinda daring since it lacked some realism, mainly due to the trees overhanging the road and the ground texture. But all is forgiven, I mean it is 64kb after all. The shot did wonders for the story so who cares about some buildings between the trees? The cars looked awesome but the roadtexture was kinda off. The fire that erupted felt a bit artificial as well, but distorting the entire scene was a wise choice.
  
  Roll credits. Queue first place. So I went to bed giving this one 5 stars and Mecury 4. I thought about giving them no stars at all, to help push this awesome experience that just took my breath away. But I couldn't: I mean that would just be unfair wouldn't it? So I went to sleep and awoke during the pricegiving. The entire crowd burst into clapping so got up, walked down, figuring I could get another chance to watch the winning entry once more. I guess we all knew how this ended :)
