This ticks all the right boxes for me ... oh, wait a second ..

Filled to the brim with scene spirit, everything from the design to the music to the camera work is freaking amazing in this! And above all: it is FUN!

Clear winner for me, best prod of the year even! Well done!

Seems like the experience you collected making Piledriver had a good side after all :) The animation, camera work, pacing, meta commentary, and the interplay between visuals and music is so on point it could take the ballet world by storm. This is one of those demos that just make you smile all the way through, and it's playing on the scene's self referentiality just right.

One small technical nitpick though: It took three attempts until it ran properly here (details on request).

I am very partial to manual lathes :) Also the demo is short, crisp, on point and super entertaining. Worth plenty of rewatches and a good "look, this is what a demo looks like" to use on unsuspecting not-sceners-yet.

What kb said; my clear favorite of the compo, despite being so cliché. Or perhaps exactly because it's so cliché. I guess it is what happened if Piledriver and Domain had a baby.
rulez added on the 2022-09-11 18:30:59 by Sesse Sesse
sometimes a demo just hits different - the execution, the progression, the style, the attention to detail, the music!
really outside of the box for a demo about a box.
thank you for realizing the spine tingling feeling of a good ass production

Despite it being unoriginal and having a very dated 2002 64kb look and feel, I enjoyed the pacing and attempted comedy, so thumbs up for that.

rulez added on the 2022-09-12 10:49:20 by okkie okkie
haha, this is great! very well executed and amusing.

honestly the only thing holding it back is the render looking really dated.. not from a technical kudos point of view but because it actually gets in the way (e.g. the box feels like it's floating in space in a separate environment to the background & floor, due to lack of any kind of occlusion/reflections etc). if the production value was increased it'd be killer. :)
rulez added on the 2022-09-12 10:54:39 by smash smash
excellent demo and my only critique is sort of what smash said but manifesting mostly as the background environment for me. It could've had a bit darker material to have a stronger contrast and focus on the box. oh and no Indiana Jones magnetic box reference??? (or did i miss it in that speed? :P)
rulez added on the 2022-09-12 11:50:12 by maali maali
yeah I'm 0b5ving

So many fun ideas in the box, textures tell that it's a UD demo, the music slaps of course, and all the jokes are tasty. one point to regret is that it renders cheap a bit.
I was told which direction the demo goes in prior (see the nfo) and it's still way beyond my imagination, I yelled "this is what gargaj would do" in front of the stream.
Thank you for being you, gargaj.

Everything, Everywhere, in a Box <3

What I like about this is that you will want to go back and rewatch. While it’s SO fun to be ran over by a hilarious fast editing train on the initial viewing (where can one learn such power?), I keep going back to discover a new heartfelt detail hidden away in plain sight for someone to find. Go 👀 for yourself!

You've mastered timing and audio sync, obviously, but the first part goes by almost a little too fast for its own good. The slow break in the middle was fine and the last part was cool, but it felt like the demo ended too soon and there should've been one more part, either at the pace of the first part or the last. And it felt more than just a little inspired by Domain. But, all that doesn't keep it from a thumbs up.

This is extraordinary for me. Music, visual apprentice, pacing were all top notch. This demo has the essence of fun and humor. It has a series of layers to unpack with interesting audio and visual references.

I have reached for size as a critical dimension in the past. I.e. 'this would be better if it was 1MB...' But I am now thinking I should consider a critical achievement when a demo payload is significant larger then a video of the demo compressed with a modern codec... Anyways,.. this demo gives me much to consider. It is excellent.
rulez added on the 2022-10-01 04:24:05 by ig0r ig0r
Its a synch demo, and the synch is off?
Or is it just the youtube video?
Once the synch is fixed i will correct my vote to a piggy because its still just a pig.
