it´s hard to describe a feeling as this particular combination of history and video art is indeed a little confusing.
yet, i think it was done in an excellent and adequate way.

reminded me a lot of Children by CaPaNNa actually

holymoly! this really sucks. ugly visuals, stupid overall topic and the music reminds me of my first steps in music trackering.

not exactly my cup of tea this time, but cool nonetheless.

not the kind of demo i typically like - it mostly displays distorted b/w shapes.
but certainly builds atmosphere and, although there's few actually visible, creates a feeling...

Not sure if it had all of the intended impact with me, but it definitely had atmosphere. And, of course, respect for approaching the subject without sensationalism.

I can't understand how someone could find this a "stupid overall topic". War and genocide are topics that simply cannot be dealt with too often. Isn't this one of the foremost functions of art?

(Oh, and please don't get stuck on the a-word again.)

my personal winner of the compo.
the music alone combined with just a black screen would give a thumb up, but combined with that very fucked up effects and the serious theme it's just perfect.

i love the well done fx.. never saw that before in such "perfection".. and nice music..

mmm did nothing for me..
maybe i need to watch it again in a diferent mood.. or maybe it bugged on display...

Very Strange.... Too much strange for me :/ The Music is also confusing

Thank all for the superfast feedbacks. The point of the demo was to push ourselves to some kind of limit, dealing with a quite difficult topic, and doing it in our way. Of course, we didn't expect anyone besides us perverts to like this.

I couldn't discern anything tangible from this black & white mud puddle.

Looks like the work of gypsies to me.

interesting visuals

i liked, something different from MFX.
who doesn't discern anything in those b/w shapes should watch it more carefully.
rulez added on the 2003-09-01 11:28:28 by soolta soolta
I agree with soolta... and I loved staring at this demo from the "buenzli harem".
Finally I liked it, got the same position as the winner one in my very personal charts.
rulez added on the 2003-09-01 12:59:44 by rIO rIO
Worked very well for me. Perhaps the visuals could be improved though I think, some parts looked too low-res and blocky. Maybe a little more blur on those parts, or higher res textures?

Great work MFX. How about the cold war next? ;)

mfx's minimal animal parody? ;) well done, with strange gfx to 3dplane distort? hard to see the tank, planes and the stuff.
rulez added on the 2003-09-01 17:00:08 by mrdoob mrdoob
joli,

nice visuals + unexpected theme + appealing music.

the mfx appears once again to never run out of ideas and shows always new ways of demomaking.
rulez added on the 2003-09-01 20:36:04 by florent florent

hmm, boring show and theme i'd rather not touch - although the scrolling text was rather interesting and the product itself is perfect. but neither innovative, nor impressive

without the music i would have pressed ESCAPE much earlier

Yes.

Strange but stylish.

Haven't seen much of the pics form the data-dir in the demo so maybe my r9600 doesn't shows me the demo correct.

what great screen composition..
rulez added on the 2005-11-02 02:01:00 by Gaia Gaia
It creates some kind of atmosphere but it's a bit too static from times to times. Dense nevertheless and therefore a marginal 'rulez'
Opposing zone's comment it's really okay to make demos about anything, let's be happy that we can.

loved it, great mood, i like the black/white scheme, helps dramatizing it just enough :)

reminds me on cncd amiga styled demos somehow..

the sync at the smashing M F X letters is great!

And then after I see the recent mfx ultimatum, I remember that I had not seen this one in the past. Quite a different style, in fact I like the dark atmosphere and music into this, though I like the new ultimatum more.

And I wonder if I could read the text there behind somewhere?

mfx - as usual it leaves me with mixed feelings. Almost thumb up, still something is missing for it.
