definitely doesn't belong in a demo compo, but as a slideshow it's very atmospheric and the photos are excellent. who did what in this prod then?

Sucks because it's not a 3d flyby with spikeballs and techno music. Oh wait, we hate those. Sucks because it's not bashing Amiga. Oh wait, we're over that. Sucks because it's not traditional Farbraush. Oh wait they've never been traditional. What are they SAYING? Omg next thing you know the scene won't be dead.
would have won the powerpoint-stye-slide-compo for sure... but nah not in demo

Nice idea and (some) cool photos, great disturbing music... but the execution of it all lacks something... it's terribly boring and imho fails into delivering a solid message (maybe due to some of the phrases). Still it's something else and for that it deserves my thumb up.

Really nice stuff, but ... pretty much defeats commentary. Maybe the text might be better, it's impact is not that clear.

But at least the construction of the demo, its juxtaposition of images that do not follow strictly the narrative suggested by the text is a nice twist.
rulez added on the 2005-08-28 23:17:31 by _-_-__ _-_-__
now I wonder how a skilled guy like MadenMann get the wrong type of prod, this ain't no demo, this is a plain and simple Slideshow.
Ok I enjoyed the photos, but hey... I check deviantart if want to see photos or turn on the tv.
Now for the not so poilitically correct message: 14,7MB for this shit ?

parapete: i did most of the ugly opengl code, took the photos and generally started the demo. ryg did the image compressor and some last minute fixing, kb did the soundsys, the text and some last minute fixing, rp did the soundscape and chaos also did some last minute fixing. still this is not finished and will be followed by a refined final version. i used opengl since i want to do versions for different os'es, and i forgot the debug info because i was quite wasted.

slashy: I don't suppose it was intended to win anything. I guess it's about telling something. Problem is that most sceners don't want to hear or think about anything.

My problems with the production:
- the pictures where nice but not all where destructive enough to support the intended mood
- reading the text distracted from image / without text, the images would not transport the message
- Too much text, to many images (I always need some seconds to really love a picture)
- The pictures where not abstract enough to turn the "breaking damm" into a metapher. But they were also not clear enough about the acutally happend catastrophy.

I really would like to see the concept of this production given a second try.

btw. I liked it a lot more than fr-046 and it's damn good the have such productions in a demo-compo.

Suggestive athmosphere and beautiful pics. Effectively reading the text made image watching difficult, would a superimposed text be better?

(Talking of "slideshows": it would be nice to see fr-05 working again!)

pixtur, It's interesting, I think the minus point you have about the text distracting from the image is actually a plus. As the two are by design in contrast with one another, it feels fitting that there is a tension between one another too :)

the sceond demo of fr after 'konsum' with content, i'd left the ending open, so that the viewer would have to google what its about ... making it more mysterious.
the athmossphere with the text sying everyting is allright vs the dark music that was reflected by the pictures of the broken dam on a nice sunny day, just puuuurfect.

guys, stop making sinus animated jumping cubes and do more like this :)

rulez added on the 2005-09-03 02:54:44 by Gaia Gaia
Not exactly a demo but what the hell? It left me with goosebumps and only one other demo has done that (Kasparov). To achieve that in a slideshow is an achievement. Brilliant soundtrack. BTW - I did a search and couldn't find any info on any dam that collapsed in 1951 where 421 perished. Anyone know about this site?

I guess the date has to be fixed (1951 -> 1959).
added on the 2005-09-13 19:34:29 by bdk bdk
or maybe to 1941, depending on the mood.
i've found this demo strongly original. there's neither an effect nor a pumping music. but of course, the only effect that should catch the eyes is the sad subject.

Oh yeah, this guy sucks. Actually I don't give a fuck here, it was handed in into the demo compo and the final version will be even better (I've heard). A slideshow (in my definition) has a navigation.
Gargaj: the 60`s clickery adds extra tension and atmosphere.. or at least i think so :P
added on the 2005-09-14 23:16:13 by darkus darkus
hm, the concept of storytelling with pictures was done before (melwyn's heartshaped box) so i was open for the idea, however the content got quite boring after a while. nice photos (nice angles and detail) but the whole story kinda vanished after a while. Good attempt, but it killed my attentionspan, so sorry.. a piggie :)
added on the 2005-09-14 23:42:45 by maali maali
It is good that the photos transport a more silent than harmful and only slightly mood with abandoned ruins and a dozey landscape... This increases the contrast to what happened quite a lot, not to mention that the prequel to a breaking damm lasts years, the accident itself a few hours and that things turn back to be more silent pretty soon...

I wonder how they got the idea for this "production". But apart from being rather strange for a demo/slideshow/whatever-it-is, it surely had an impact on me as it made me searching the net for more information about this tragedy and it's circumstances. The text also became much clearer to me afterwards.

belane, for some strange reason i liked the place since my parents first showed it to me a few years ago, probably in 1999 or something. i spend some time there whenever i visit cannes. the idea for this is also a few years old, i just did not have proper equipment to take photos before, since my old digital camera just couldnt bash the bishop.

it is at 43°30'35.73"N 6°45'29.69"E just in case somebody is near cannes and wants to visit it.

ah, finally, a followup of sorts to fr-05: konsum. :) this photo composition actually has meaning to it, as the photos gradually transition from all-nature to all-man-made. man tries to stop nature, but nature prevails (nature suxx :). the sounds could be interpreted as sounds heard around the dam. this would work well at a gallery room with a projection screen.
