this really has a soul, but it's too experimental for me. Finally no noise sound :-)

Ugh! You guys need a designer!

Sorry guys. This went wrong in so many different ways. There was much more stuff there. But physics had a bug (they didn't show up) and I had left wrong blending mode on (everything was white.) And it was badly unfinished too. That's what you get when you partycode with slow laptop and try to guess actual outcome with real hardware. :)

So no bull... Except totally different looking version later on. Really.

It would be easy to dismiss this quickly (as i did while watching the compo, i guess), but i have to think about it ever since then. great.

Working or not.. I love it when a demo makes me think "WTF am I just watching?" instead of just "looks cool but I've seen this all before". This is the second time within a year I've experienced this, so thanks!

Attention, makers of cheap, easy and random noise/"art" demos: take notes.

brilliant rendering/canvas effects! even if lacking on the content side, this was my favourite from the compo. and the soundtrack alone is worth a double-thumb!

Trying to be politcal doesn't save it, it's just plain ugly.

By far the most original and best entry in the competition.

looking forward to seeing the final!

I absolutely adored it in the compo. Can someone PLEASE do a vidcap?

Idea could have been exercised better. Else than that: "One effect and a downloaded song" (tm).
Waiting for the final too.

Attention people waiting for video... I will make HD video version when I release final/real version propably very soon. (I already fixed some problems.) I don't want to see that broken compo version anywhere. :)

It's so fucked up, you gotta love it

A brilliant song; thanks for the opportunity to hear it.

Looked interesting. Waiting to see it as it was intended to be seen.

For some reason this made my heat feel hurried. I love the song.

Well ... I don t get it.
But music is good.
And i m in love with the title.

Kelly Family would be happy (which might explain the dust-on-screen look). What a pitty.

final version: are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet? are we there yet?

Had to comment even before the final because this was my favorite from the compo. Incredibly good looking visuals with a truly intense mood makes me watching this over and over again.
Also what ps said.

ugly and boring

Mediocre and colourless

Beautiful and hypnotic. Very sensitive.
Heart-touching soundtrack.

hmm. artistic - yes. experimental - absolutely. i think bp isnt the right place for releasing stuff like this. a little bit too long. the design could be better. take your time ! - easier said than done i know. if there were a voting option between ok and rulez id pick the inbetween. but for the soundtrack i give you the:

A nice break from traditional demo dogmas (both visually and musically), but too much of the same for me.

nice but I think I didn't get it

Real version is now available. This more or less final version is practically a new demo: Ballad of a Cluster Bomb - Director's Cut
added on the 2009-09-21 10:48:49 by virne virne
yay for final \o/
added on the 2009-09-22 00:50:10 by nosfe nosfe
meh, but final is really good.

LOVE the effects. Could have had more variation IMO but I just love the crazy ethereal/surreal blurring/ghosting type of effects all throughout. Very cool. :)

What the fuck?

Although the song is not original, I like your version of it. I find it cool when demos tell stories. Like it a lot! :)

100% music vote. i don't care about the really ugly visuals :D

Messy.
It's great that you kept working on it.
