lots of work on it, some great stuff, very well technically.. but.. that city & the corridor.. what?! the music doesn't fit the visuals either.. but hey.. it does have that wowfactor that we all go after.

Rules! One of the few prods that have that ever so elusive initial WOW-factor!
Technically brilliant aswell as stylish (those grafitti-logos extruding out looks sooo cool!).
I expect nothing but first place for this.

pageturner with afros and breakdancing!

Lovely stuff, not even the repetitive breakdancing could make the experience less exciting to watch.

P3 1ghz.. thats like from 2000? What on earth do you expect?

About the prod: Okish, would be a thumb up normally. But it actually looks pretty horrible on my machine (2006, with decent gfx card). There are issue with pixelated mip maps and long breaks between scenes.

i'll keep seeding for a few days, but with pretty low speed, don't have that much upstream - would be nice if some others could seed too :)

(Rulez because of what I saw on video)
For some reason it does not work on my machine. I tried the three exe, same consequence, it just loads, the progression bar moves up, and then when reaching 100% just get back to windows desktop. Any idea ?

humm, too bad I thumbed up, if I had known before that this intro was not Windows 2000 compatible, I would have put a thumb down instead...
added on the 2006-08-06 15:08:01 by Dbug Dbug
Kewl. It's stylish on some aspects but I don't get fully into it despite an obvious amount of work.
The dancing guy is very cool, but the overall intro lacks this usual cool that made the best stylish thingies like Breakpoint 06 FLT intro.
The colors are a bit dark without much brightness and the music sounds itself like a kind of cheesy funk. It fits the whole atmosphere but it's "demo funk" again.

Overall, rules ;)

excellent! fairlight is a class of its own. the b-boy is great, so are the pieces by maktone. you should have let him do the tagging in the bp06 intro. :P

sad infofile. smash, don't give a fuck about what people seem to demand from you! your style is untouchable.

i would have prefered electro or b-boy funk over disco though.

great, but

1) so heavy for cpu\video
2) it's a torture for audio system to play sounds with freq < 40Hz, there is no sound at all at cheap speakers but high quality speakers with good amplifiers will struggle trying to play these freqs. (HP at 40-50Hz would be nice)

GREAT!

Style! Congrats!
Very good 64k (excellent music for the size, solid code and cool design), despite the reuse of elements from the previous intros ;)

Just one thing: don't do shadows if you can't make them look good. Some looked really bad here, especially during the credits part :)

I'm glad some people can make something different from the usual (crappy) eurotrance-64k-intros.
rulez added on the 2006-08-07 15:12:16 by keops keops
Very impressive, and an almost impossible buttload of stuff in it. This is worth a thumbs up alone... BUT.

- Please choose more subtle rendering errors next time, the glaring z fighting in the city scene and the blocky shadows (even on nvidia) aren't really necessary
- Somewhere deep in my heart, there's still hope that Reed will be able to pull off composing a second song in his life. Would be nice.
- While we're at it: Honestly, why didn't you call the intro "re-re-re-cycle?" Apart from the total code reuse mania you started in Death and Taxes (even if I as FR member should really shut up about this ;) the whole style of your intros/demos didn't really vary.
- Yeah, and that, uh, "message"... you know, your so-called "new direktion" and all the fake ghetto style isn't too fresh anymore either. Please. Come on. Fucking up people's RGB is so 2000.

Still: great intro.
rulez added on the 2006-08-07 16:43:34 by kb_ kb_
The Z fighting is ugly. Other than that, it owns.
rulez added on the 2006-08-07 18:27:48 by imbusy imbusy
kb: "total code reuse"? pot kettle. :)
there's actually quite a lot of new code in here (all the ik anim code, the city generator, the growing graf), but maybe it's so totally masked under the wannabe ghetto bullshit that you cant see it. :)

seriously tho - if you think all our demos and intros look the same .. ouch. maybe your thinking is along the lines of "no particles, no scene poetry, no envmapping, hardly any glow, no dubious trance/ebm music.. all looks+sounds the same". in which case, im proud that it all looks and sounds the same, and i'll continue doing that for years to come. :) although not for 64k, this was the last fake ghetto style recycled crap with the same old tune you'll have to put up with from us.

valid point about the shadows though - the shadowmap simply isnt big enough for the scene. but hey, it's slow enough already i think. :)

Oh trust me, the prod in question fulfilled my demand for scene poetry more than I ever allowed myself to expect :)

Apart from that take a deep breath, read again what I've written, and don't feel so freaking offended. And do some research before you put me into the particles-glow-trance corner, thanks ;)

Well i'm not really a fan of this graffiti-hiphop-in-your-face-nigga style, but this was quite a smash ;)

The head model, the dancing and the extruding star at the end were all wow. And the music too, as usual :)

I didn't really like the cityscape though, those textures are ugly and the windows are waaay too big.

I do have pixelated mipmaps here and there as well, and the whole thing feels a bit sluggish on my machine (amd3200+, 1gig, 6600gt).

sorry, i don't like it:
the music is great for sure, but apart from the dancing dude, there's not much of interest:
the intro-part looks cheap and those bouncing logos and star-stripes, again, just feel so wannabe-style, making the whole production seem rushed.
too bad...

Absolutely astonishing. I was busy drinking and talking when this came on, watching with half an eye. When the breakdancer came on the screen I was like "holy shit, this must be the Fairlight intro!". Very cool stuff, better than their demo entry.
rulez added on the 2006-08-08 11:40:07 by Betong Betong
smash: I've ran the intro a few times just to see if it's random, and it doesn't appear to be.

It doesn't show up at all for the first two scenes (the city overview and the scrolling wall), the first time it shows up is when you're looking down the room (as pictured above). Then the pixels keep showing up for the next couple of scenes (the tunnel, the afro dude, and the breakdancing guy), only to disappear again during the city graffiti scenes. It's also gone during the credits scene.

My Graphics card is a Radeon 9800 PRO if that helps. Also here's another screen of the problem for good measure.

a_lee_n: any chance it could be overheating or something?
oyiseer has that card and tested it, and it was fine.. the kind of thing you'd expect to cause this is either NANs in the shader, or zbuffer issues on a multipass - neither of which should be happening here, and besides, youd expect to see it on more cards if it were the case.. mmm. interesting. :) does it happen on all the exe versions?

It's impressive how much stuff there's crammed in here, and still managing to be stylish (unlike some other cram-all-you-can-64ks). However, too much memory consumption means swapping, which ruined my watching experience. The graffitis are awesome.

One word: inconsistent. The cold, realistic part at the beginning simply doesn't fit the cartoon-styled gangsta. Technically it's well done, though.
added on the 2006-10-22 19:53:33 by Adok Adok
Adok: I also thought that on the beginning, but it's actually the main point of the intro 'Let's stop doing city/fly-by prods'.

Heh...
added on the 2006-10-22 19:57:12 by mrdoob mrdoob
Anyway, "Chaos Theory" by Conspiracy is my favourite from that compo. It should have placed 1st and this intro 2nd. The other places (concerning the Windows prods - I don't use Linux at the moment) match my opinion.

Still, this one is not a bad intro.

Dudes...Good code, impressed by packing so many stuff into a smally 64k... but for the content I am sceptical here. Would not say "Probably the best 64k ever." being only impressed by a so-called "street style" which is soooo commercialised now. A dancing b-boy some graffiti pieces and not so very good tags... Do the street-style fellows could tell what was RSC, FAB5 and so on? What is a tee-up, dub, e2e, t2b, a panel or a wc? But well... Maybe it is not what counts here. Never the less, respect for the work, even if the graffiti pieces presented here I do not find too polished.

added on the 2008-11-07 20:23:23 by loaderror loaderror
back in the old days, people were horribly afraid of beeing buried alive. Myths passed around about people who woke up in a cask six feet under. The killbill tricks wasnt know back then, so they attached a bell with the headstone, which was attacked to the finger of the newly burried corpse. If the bell rang, under false alarm, it was a so-called dead ringer.

Also, the same story provides the expression "saved by the bell".

This is one of my fave prods of all time. I love the music, the ribbons!, and especially the graffiti. I get fuzzy everytime I watch it.

The only thing I dislike is the lack of detail on teh breakdancing guy and building models, but I'm guessing this was to keep it under 64+k.

I don't like that funky/hiphop style but I have to say that I'm impressed by the amount of solid effects/gfx/music you succeed to put into 64 tiny kb :)

This one is really cool. Would be my favorite FLT 64k if not for Panic Room.

How have I not commented on this.
Some how I feel that this a perfect example of what CGI and art was in the 2000s. Especially the cel-shaded dancing dude and spray paint art seem to fit well what I saw back then on CGI commercial and such. I throw my bet that this might be something people will image as the 2000s equivalent to vaporwave ten to twenty years from now. Or maybe I'm wrong and it's the gray glow graphics of the games from the time?

Anyways amazing 64k with a a really catchy tune. I do find the lack of consistency between some scenes a bit annoying but overall very nice production.

Obviously a lot of good shit...

BUT... some pretty awful looking textures and shading (the corridor for one), and for that matter the texture filtering. Not sure if intentional or a technical or design choice/limitation, looks decent at places and awful on others. I absolutely hate the FFT shaking camera and texts... can't imagine it looking worse without it, or just using some simple function for something similar. I can't stand it either way. Not my favorite Fairlight 64k from this era.

Other than that, don't have much to complain though. A few really neat looking scenes, cuts and camerawork. Reed delivers hard like always. Don't feel there are any consistency issues, it's just a collage of back-then contemporary graphical motifs from this particular hiphop/urban/alternative school of design.

For some reason I never commented on this. Fresh style and good content for its time. The camera shakes and graffiti shakes are annoying - they probably work better with a lower framerate. ;)

music blew up this demo. dancing guy was dreadful, graffiti was great. overall i think its the perfect example of all things coming together to make a perfect whole.

12 years later, and I still turn the volume up when this comes up. The extruding logos are still my favourite part of the demo, even though it didn't age that well in other parts. But what does.. :)

absolutely flawless

Still mindblowing how you managed to cram all the stuff inside 64k <3
rulez added on the 2019-05-05 15:16:23 by jammer jammer
Amazing, very stylish and distinct. I've known this demo for a while now, but only today it hit me how much stuff is in that 64k. I'm astounded.

And for me it hasn't aged at all, but it feels nostalgic in a way so I'm probably looking at it through rose-tinted glasses (:

Those extruded grafitti logos are really cool! Music is also great. Doesn't sound like a size-optimized kind of tune. Heads above the competition at that time.
