- the theme is not my cup of tea but i can appreciate it as the design is carefully composed
sadly though, the garish colors and aliasing are too much of a turnoff for me - isokadded on the 2020-09-15 23:53:30

- 4k Windows Lost Cargo by LJ & Virgill [web]
- The concept of majestically voyeuring on a fantastical environment guided by a nondescript geometric primitive—or at least its mere surface level (ha...) exploration—has badly worn out by now, let's put it to rest already. Deck II largely leaned on the same narrative premise, but built a more captivating environment around it. (In general also most of the criticism I had for Eisenerz also applies here.) While I absolutely do not get excited by any non-craftmanship aspects of this, I recognize almost all works we do in the Demoscene are products of the context in which the authors were at the time, and not some teleological series of auteurship that consistently one-ups on the previous item, so I don't think it's fair to just demand an improvement compared to whatever the author last made—that just sucks the enjoyment out and rots the scene from within—but instead should try to regard it as a more standalone work.
With that said, aside from that there's almost nothing wrong with this. It's definitely the best looking underwater 4k intro since Hydrokinetics and a definite improvement over it on the rendering side of things. The volcanic surfaces look organic and artifact-free, and the caustic rays of light fall gracefully on them. There's a good use of implied space with the use of the long lenses and tight cropping, especially in the claustrofobic tunnels towards the end. The brief kaleidoscopic interlude feels cheap and tropey in one regard, but also surprisingly apt here as a kind an act break! Virgill delivers on the audio side of things again of course, though the PD-like synthesis is starting to lose its appeal a bit.
I can't really say it's a great intro, but I have to say the work is mostly good. - rulezadded on the 2020-08-16 01:46:59
- 4k Windows Particularity by Alcatraz [web]
- looks a bit like a demo clips reel of some after effects plugin, i.e. feels barren and like this technique is merely supposed to complement whatever the actual content should be
but that's just the comparison i can draw to something external; not strictly a critique! i like the clean unvarnished look, and the music is appropriately jovial, nice one-person effort! - rulezadded on the 2020-08-16 00:00:29
- wild Animation/Video the agony of an artist by Tekotuotanto
- i think it's more sardonic and embracing of the aesthetic, while poking fun at the tropes and perceived stereotypes... i really like the painting as well and nowhere in the film does it say one should not!
no subtlety whatsoever though and at a few places i feel there was some potential for a more profound point that instead was wasted for some cheaper comedic potshots - isokadded on the 2020-08-12 14:27:06
