Like I said previously, maybe it could have been slighty better on the content/technic without breaking the concept... but I love your prods srsly :)).

Great concept !

Great concept, catchy music.
points for the concept

Ideas and execution beat particles/shaders/whatever - best in compo!
real good idea
nice tune with poem
like this very much

I have to agree, my favourite of the compo!

original idea, but in the end it's just ye same olde scene poetry with a twist. piggie.
Scene poetry in 4k. No. So Piggy.
Sweet
Haha, funny!
my fav!! how long does it takes to write the story :) simple but best concept. hopefully on of the winners
Something completly different, very good song and nice poetry - Thumb up :)
was very entertainig
The courage to do something different paid off this time. Worked well!
Very nice concept !
Scene poetry. It is not different but traditional.
no coderporn = no good 4k, sorry :/
dont remember much of that night but that liked this =)
great concept
that was sweet.
nice concept. wanna steal it :D
cute n quirky
words cannot express my respect.
Good idea, but not my taste :/
Really unexpected but so much cute 4k intro :D
I loved it a lot on teh big screen <3

awesome!

Very simple. Well achieved with good sync. As okeanos is gonna say, limiting yourself to 4 letters words is a true performance ;). Thanks for the quite moment and sweet music guys.
very nice concept and good execution
Is not only about "techs", nice one!
Learned to appreciate it by the end, nice soundtrack.
Idea!
Amazing !
good story!
Its style reminds me of the music videos I sometimes find on YT where only the lyrics are visualized.
for the concept.
Some good sync, but nothing more to say.
Is there meant to be an effect in the background or is the plain white font on a plain background all there is to see?

I did like it, mostly because it was clean, nicely synchronized with the music, and the colours changing to match the message was cool as well.
(Was relaxing to watch on the stream - everything else looked like mashed squares with random noise :-/)

epic
This was great, lovely idea.
Well executed idea - but nothing more.
kuddos for your 1st 4k, music rules, very pleasant to watch!
cute
where intro? text and boring music
Absolutely great concept. Making a 4k and telling a story with only 4 letters word is so cool. Very nice syncing. Enjoyed it on the fullscreen... gave some poetry to the compo.
btw ulrich, how did you guess what I would say? ;)
The concept is ok, but I think you could have chosen a better and more original theme.
WORD
Nice change of pace. Would have liked a better font, but a thumb up anyway.
Say the WORD and you'll be free.
Say the word and be like me.
Say the word I'm thinking of.
Have you heard the word is love?
It's so fine, it's sunshine
It's the word, love.
In the beginning I misunderstood,
But now I've got it, the word is good.

Great music, cj!
nerdy thoughts, been told a thousand times before.
Good concept and idea, really enjoyed it =)
Concept is bad, execution is good, so a thumb down.
One of my favourite 4ks ever despite the nerd world view.
Well, the plain backgrounds aren't a hardware error afterall, so not impressed. I've seen this concept done much better in the past.
@Navis: You can't really blame the guy for thinking the way he thinks just because you "know better", can you?
wow!
Excellent!
@Lord Graga: oh well I may have been a bit harsh. Not intended. Maybe I've forgotten how it feels to be young and on the pull :-)).
Anyway thumbs up for something that was at least memorable... but it's too late now.

style, music, feel = ^, lyrics = v => ~
Nice concept, but way too long.
nice music but...
With something more in the back turns this great 4k into a boss-one !!
Anyway: up up up

this is just awesome in its relative simplicity, has some lovely surprises.
Thumb up for the clean bassdrum, it rocks!
the bass was nice on the party PA, the intro itself isnt much exciting though
nope.
touched me
Sorry to put my nitpicking hat but I would have loved something barely noticable going on.
<3 <3 <3
Marvellous! Beautiful taste in colours and I very much liked the harmony of it with the typography.
I think Navis is absolutely right, and that's what's great about this intro! The feelings and the depictions are really genuine. No scene poetry bullshit.
Maybe it hurts so many people to be told to their faces that this is exactly the routine they follow in life. I don't think it's that nerdy though, it's the usual package that works for everyone.
Mal? Pas du tout! Emouvant? Fuck yeah!
PS: It certainly requires a certain state of mind to achieve a full appreciation of the intro.

Nice idea, very balanced.
The sync, colors and presentation are nice indeed. Liked specially the first "part".
Probably I'm getting old. Most probably.
Pierdolita od rzeczy że aż przykro. That's sure.

This is not scene poetry. The reason scene poetry has a bad reputation is that 99% of it is filler: it's all about "how can I make this spinning cube look deep and meaningful?"
This is the exact opposite - everything in here, from the colours to the position and timing of the text, is done for a reason. That's something quite special when so much of the state of the art in 4Ks is about procedural generation, and finding the algorithms that happen to give the prettiest results. Kudos to Zavie for NOT giving in to the temptation to add unnecessary filler...
I have a sort of romantic notion that the ultimate 4K intro would be one which contains exactly 4096 ideas that the author had while making it. (Yeah, don't bother pointing out all the things that are mathematically wrong with that statement. I don't care...) This is pretty high up there. :-)

I really liked this, very different from everything else.
original + good music + funny = good time watching it.
Yes! This one was very atmospheric, despite lack of effects. Being a melancholic post-gothic bitch myself I just can't refrain from thumbing this up. Well done!
Yeees! Great success!
I like!

Fucking boring concept!
Thumbs up for having the balls to release something with a concept not everybody will like.

total winner in my book! this is the single most memorable prod from this year's easter party galore, and i sincerely regret getting my votekey at 10:04 in the morning, so my "fuck yeah"-vote was lost.
i heart the concept, the near perfect timing/coloring and of course the balls to enter the compo and show your feelings in front of ~800 people!

Same nerd tale, told very well. Only fool will hate.
A little bit corny... but quite refreshing. Enough for a thumb up.
Quote:
people I've shown a preview of this mentioned the background too "should add something" "what about a game of life" "what about a cube", etc. But it would have been betraying the concept just to please the audience.
thank you. now i feel better about being in the scene.
nice tale :)
Ahah, original ! & I really like the music !
Super stylish, wonderful, great, lovely, nice, awesome, 4k, different, non-scene-poetry-style, great, thank you!
Nice! Maybe a bit too long - and the lyrics become too cheesy after a while. ('best girl ever'... etc)
Bit shameless, but you might be interested in seeing Trans*Form.
Looking forward to more of this quality and style!

Nice music, nice sync. Perfectly executed, but still, it feels somewhat empty.
What Decipher and gasman said. Or, to be somewhat more controversial: Those who call the lyrics/concept "nerdy" probably do that because it reminds them too much of their own awkward past that they've "grown out of" now. Well, good for you then; doesn't change the fact tho that the story being told in this intro is pretty universal.
Also, concept wise it kinda reminded me of Dramatic Pixels and that's good too :)

nice music, nice lyrics, but where is the visual code?
Yesterday I wrote a really long comment but forgot to post this. In summary I could say the usual, "what dechipher and gasman said".
It's always hard to explain especially in text why I like or enjoy something, especially when it's about something that touches me on a personal level. And I know most of you can relate to this on some level too, maybe not now, but in the past.
Personal reasons aside, I just love the cohesion with the text and the music. Very rarely I see it anywhere performed this well, let alone in the scene. About the concept, it isn't completely original but it's by no means done to death in the scene imo, and at least it hasn't been realized nearly as well as here. There's just so much sincerety here and it's exactly why I don't think it's feasible to comment this on any technical aspects. Anyone saying the concept has been pulled of better in the past, please show me, remind you this is a 4k intro.
Also, this isn't scene poetry, this is what scene poetry SHOULD have always been. Respect for doing something so sincere and emotional, something done in the scene way too rarely. I'd like to end with this realtively obscure citation because I think it fits here perfectly,
"The World Is SickSICK;(So Kiss Me Quick)!

For me this was the highlight of the compo. Very original and well executed.
Four kilo that make sane mind turn blue.
Great music !
Only one view demo, but enjoyable
Very classy. I love it.
Conceptual!
Sweet!
No special effects? :(
Instead of "nerdy", I found the lyrics to be somewhat disturbing.
I thought alot of this was cool, but got ruined fast. Really poor English and an odd story. Well-executed apart from that, though.
concept and colours is sometimes all that it needs :)
sweet, nice mood and feelings
I couldn't identify myself with the text, but the concept is cool and luckily you didn't destroy it with unnecessary bling bling. I like it.
Ferris: When trying to respect such a strong constraint as "only 4-letter words", grammar suffers, that's quite inevitable :)
Not blown away by this one. Fairly decent music, but the rest, I fail to see anything interestring about
Nice new idea and good music!
Nice music
Original idea and nice music, but a bit childish and doable in PowerPoint.
Aww <3

each displayed word has four letters. no more no less. interesting detail. (note to self: nooo shit sher lock)
Nice tune. Neat code. Nice look. Cool idea. Like prod!
tl;dr
Very original, liked it a lot.
It took me quite a while that the reason for the strange grammar and "meta" instead of "alt" was that every word was exactly four letters long.
*to realize the reason for ...
Great intro. One of my favourite productions from Revision 2011.
nice nice
NICE TALE COOL TUNE
HIYA

for having a story

barely anything here
WHAT SKRE BBEL SAID
This one really moved me when it was shown on the screen!
At first I thought it was okay but nothing special. Then colors changed, I noticed the way only 4 letters words were used, the funny story, and just one word: woah! Such a nice and interresting prod! Effects don’t make a demo, the heart has to be put in there. Furthermore they had to think in terms of 4-char words, and transitions and music are good.
Thank you for your smart release, I really enjoyed it! :)
