• 4k Windows BreakPoint by iapafoto [web]
• Very cool. The swing was absolutely fresh idea for 4k. I wonder if it was keyframed or fully simulated. Either way, top production quality!

• 4k intro Windows anodyne by erpholia
• I definitely dig it.
  
  There were more impressive technically intros in the compo, but style-wise this was my favorite.

• neoman: yes, it doesn't belong, that's why it's "wild". It's not about attention, but about the statement. Think of it as infamous banana strapped to a wall. If you take it at face value, it is just a worthless banana. There was was absolutely zero effort to make it (maybe a bit more to come up with an idea) and you can also say it's just a stupid attention-seeking provocation. I was coming from the same here - its effortless creation that is not even exceptional as an AI art (there are nicer examples out there). But the whole point is the act and temporal value of it - the fact it doesn't belong here is already an important question "why". The fact you can make something passable with low effort is also interesting. The fact it's philosophical inversion of my past work, which is essentially a liberation attempt from working class mentality I was raised in, has a special value to me personally. But I understand, if this doesn't trigger any conceptual response, maybe I indeed failed with this one.

• Honestly, I'm still baffled here, you guys don't understand really what I'm trying to say. I marked everything absolutely clear with subtitles in the intro, the competition was "Wild with AI". And then I hear some generic complaints about AI art. Come on! Do you take everything so trivially at face value?

• I really dig the soundscapes, especially industrial drums and synth textures.

• Nice "Studio Ghibli" style art. Is it AI-generated?

• One more thing, that you guys might have missed here.
  
  This is a philosophical inversion of my original 64k intro work I did in 2006. The 64k constraint was about maximum effort with minimum resources. This is in stark contrast to this: a minimum effort with maximum resources possible.
  
  It's really to provoke questions about the meaning of art, the meaning of effort, the meaning of outcome. And this is the value I perhaps wasn't even hoping for.

• LJ: thanks for feedback. About low effort - in the context of this prod, it was deliberate, focused effort in short period of time to meet the deadline from the conception of the idea to the final product. I could have postponed the release until next party with "Wild with AI" compo (although I'm not sure there will be any looking at the reception ;), to regenerate some shots/scenes, polish some cuts etc.... but this would lose its momentum and significance for the discussions we had. I hope this clarifies why there is some sloppiness here and there.
  
  If you follow some AI artist, or maybe you tried to generate AI videos on your own, you should know it's not that easy to make a flawless AI video at this point. But your observation is valid. If you have such a massive help from AI, the outcome should be scrutinized even more than usual - it should be visually consistent and pleasing, either have an interesting story or important message message, etc.. which interestingly doesn't have to be all that advanced for size-limited intro that can defend itself on purely technical grounds, with ok, amateur level artistry and entertaining "here is scary witch" type of "message"/plot.
