• Very confusing demo; there's a ton of good effort here, but the music doesn't fit, there's (probably?) a story but it feels both in-medias-res and unresolved, and then it drops down from 60 to 5fps in the final scene for some reason.
  
  There's some great assetwork here - well above scene average, although there doesn't seem to be any artistic direction like framing or color coherence - and the actual effect part in the middle is excellent, even though it kindof comes out of nowhere and leaves just as quickly.
  
  I get what you were going for - the age old trope of "demo effects make you happy even if life sucks" - but it's a good example why tight and conscious direction is so important to pull something like this off.

• 4k Windows Starseed by LJ & Puryx
• Some brilliant hard-surface modelling / lighting; wasn't too keen on the planet / star visuals, but that's just a taste thing, it was still excellent. Wonderful direction too, understated, not too flashy, just well-rounded enough to tell the story from start to finish.

  @Gargaj: If course some music like this was done before. But here it fits perfectly.

  
  That's what I said, yes.

• demo Windows PRINT by teadrinker
• The track is great (although not as original of an idea as most people would think) but I feel like the visuals don't quite live up to it; the first third or so has some great ideas, but then it feels to me like it runs out of ideas and the ones it then tries to have don't fit (like the 3D which just doesn't mesh with the rest) and it sorta ends anticlimatically.
  
  There's a lot of good stuff here, don't get me wrong, but it ended up feeling like an unexplored concept.

• Not sure what to think about this - it's probably very impressive technically on a level that I have no knowledge about, and I really appreciate the use of a style that's not normally seen on the platform, but it really does feel like it runs out of ideas after the first 3-4 minutes both visually and musically... but then, maybe that's the point, I don't know. The abrupt fadeout ending certainly doesn't help the feeling of "yeah okay maybe that's enough".
  
  I have a feeling this will be a second-mouse-gets-the-cheese scenario where there'll be prods in the future that utilize the same style and technique but with a bit more focus and punch and intent, which will in turn make this prod into an imperfect innovator - and maybe that's the right place for it.
