- It would have been nice with some awesome pixel graphics, but I have no problem with the photo/AI/whatever editing here. Nobody is trying to pass this off as hand-crafted and since it's all (clearly apparent) photo montages, the main characters all look the same throughout the story. The rest could just as well have been stock photo stuff. Strangely, the story itself feels like an afterthought. Instead of providing a coherent framing of the effects, I think it hampers the overall pacing.
I love the "cheating" used in demos, the clever tricks making the impossible seemingly possible. It's like sleight of hand: we all know it isn't real magic, but it's still damn impressive and confusing. With 19+12 megabytes of data files, I personally feel like we're venturing more into the world of wholesale prop magic and camera trickery.
A lot of time and effort has clearly gone into this production, and I guess the real controversy is whether it should have been placed in the Wild compo - which is ultimately a decision for the organizers. I usually know a demo when I see one, and since I'm unsure about this prod, I'm keeping my thumbs tucked away for the time being. - isokadded on the 2024-08-26 19:49:23
