- By the way did anyone get strong vibes of Terrence Malick's Days Of Heaven while watching? I need to compare both in detail later but that was my first impression.

- Fucking.
sick.
Absolutely warrants a re-watch before proper criticism, but this is obviously far and beyond anything the scene typically produces. It seems to me this really is the production Conspiracy has been yearning to make for many years now, and they finally manned up and pulled it off not only better than probably anyone else in the scene could, but better than anyone (including myself) in the audience thought they could.
It's really quite scary, because anyone considering making anything similar as mature as this now has an daunting bar to reach. Insane amount of detail put into framing, editing, pace, sound design, and first and foremost composition. Sure there are some flaws in some details that boil down to the 64k limitation, but honestly I think those add to the charm, it might be even slightly dull with out them.
There are some small things that did genuinely annoy me, mainly the kind of bad camera shake that seemed way too perlinish for me (24Hz like ferris mentioned would help with that a lot though I'm sure). A couple colors in a few shots also didn't sit right with me, but those are such minor annoyances they hardly warrant a mention.
The most positive thing I hope that comes out of this though is that people in the scene start to pay attention to the the factors that primarily make this significant in the context of demoscene, i.e. the work put into the visuals and camerawork. There's so much more to this than the implementation details under the hood. It's really a wake up call for me too; this is the level of quality we all should be striving for, and I hope I'm not the only one. Along with mercury this seems like the possibility for opening a new leaf in the history of the scene. Let's just hope.
This is beyond. - rulezadded on the 2016-03-27 06:57:00

- Excellent design considering the size. The audio leaves more to hope for, but I think it's better than silence in this case :)
