  obviously the best and most serious entry in the compo, not surprised to see it land in the middle of the pack in the results; people don't come to demoparties to experience introspective thought provoking art after all.
  
  with that said however, i don't think it's the most realistic VHS effect or whatever, but more to the point it's presented as exactly what the demo intends it to be, repurposing the characteristics into beauty in and of itself, recontextualizing them into a reified form. it isn't about realism of the 'effect', it just ends up as such as a secondary consequence.

  this german schranz style music isn't my thing at all really, and i'm not a fan of the camera direction either

• demo Windows Impulsum Fabrica by Pyrotech
• pyrotech, one of the progenitors of the "Assemblycore" genre of demos, back yet again with another "blast", somehow always ending up in the top three against all common sense.
  
  i was just a few weeks ago revisiting Project Avarus again, and remarking to friends that there's actually a lot of really well thought out scenes, and good directing and editing going on there. cheesy as it is it's still a prime example of the genre, and i do have a degree of respect for it; there's exhilaration, passion and momentum behind it. yet somehow apart from higher vertex counts and slightly better material shaders this demo 15 years later looks worse in most scenes, and doesn't feel anywhere near as sincere.
  
  even at its best when the raw visual fidelity is acceptable, the scene contents are an awkward and completely inappropriate mishmash of trendy lowest common denominator visuals. i'm talking cheap unfitting mocap animations, generic head models, metallic skulls, and so on. the only thing even remotely fitting to the flaccid Epic Power Metal Schlager is forging "scene" (if you can call it a scene, even), which left in its current state is so half-baked and riddled with signs of either rushing or lack of care that i might as well not even count it as fitting.
  
  i kind of like the 2D layering though, especially midway through. it reminds me of multiple exposure techniques, and the blending is very well implemented. too bad most of the layers being blended apart from the static 2D images look like a hot mess.
  
  sorry guys, you're a fun bunch but this ain't it.
  
  now what's there to say about file size… a demo of any size can be justified by its ambition, content and production circumstances. does this one in particular justify itself in any of those categories? well, no. but i'm also not going to count it as a negative as such, especially not if there's so many more pertinent flaws to pick on. and you shouldn't either; don't kid yourselves, you would've just watched the video capture anyway.

• obvious cribbing from we-all-know-whom, but in the form of a wonderful tribute. everything's just right, i love it. easily the best Wii demo, too.

• piggy for the atmo jungle in the credits part, otherwise… lol
  
  gotta also say i chuckled at the end part when the text slides do a swipe dissolve from the "thanks" slide to "credits", and the text title during the transition ends up reading "CRANKS"

• demo MS-Dos Alexandrei Pjortoviz by Recreation
• goddamn the music is so good, completely forgot about this one… might even be one of the best demo soundtracks from the 90s
  
  it's actually pretty clever how you get that sort of classic filter key tracking effect on the pad when you just play the sample resonant sweep sample at different pitches, never occurred to me :D
