Great intro. The buildings are awesome, awesome plasma, and the dancing robot animation is well done.

Wins as a 64k intro as it looks and sounds good. Fails completely as an invitation, because it lacks party infos.

Single-scene-64k. Okayish enough (the animation is nice), and that's all.

I didn't realize it was a party invitation before I saw the nfo :-)

City looked pretty basic, nice dancing robot though.

Black screen seems to be caused by dual screen setup, went away for me when I turned off my second screen.

Really nice rendering, especially the DOF because it's tough not to make that look cheesy, and yours was far from it. I really liked the dancing robot, though I thought he lacked a bit of passion; seemed a tad, dare I say, robotic? :D

Very nice.

Watched on youtube thanks to black screens on ati, looked ok. I like the window lights and shadows, not sure if dancing can ever not look slightly awkward but this was a good attempt.

Rippling buildings remind me of STS-02 electric kool-aid, i think i've seen it in more demos. Is it a reference to something or is it simply a cool thing to do with buildings?

There is quite a bit of wasted potential here as it's basically the same 2 scenes all the time (city, dancing robot). I have a soft spot for these cityscapes though so I don't really mind and the dancing robot is quite nicely animated. However, some more interesting scenes would have made the intro much better IMHO. Music is not really my cup of tea but doesn't annoy me either so it's fine. Greetings part is really nice as well.

Definitely deserves a thumb up anyway!

Hm, seems I'm the only one not convinced by the dancing robot. :-/ Its moves look very... confined? Inhibited? Strangely unfitting to the size and build of the robot body? I find it hard to put into words, but to me they have some weird and off-putting dynamic (or better, lack thereof).

Music is okay, although a bit too much the usual style. Some of the city scenes are quite nice though. The text in the beginning is indeed ugly.

Overall a piggy.
