- If you haven't seen this one yet, don't slag it off as 'just another opening for some party.'
C.A.P. TV definately made a great wild demo that captures some of the spirit and energy you'd expect to experience at a meeting like TUM. Entertaining enough to watch over and over again, you'll discover there are lots of references to well known demos and even some other C.A.P. TV stuff (fr's BetaMax makes a reappearence, too). They certain known the ins and outs of video editing and produced a blend of many flavours (kind of static demo effects and huge 3D scenes) that goes smoothly with the great music. As an appetizer to the uninitiated bystander and the seasoned demo scene follower at the same time, the aftertaste in both cases will be a thirst for a lot more digital action on screen. :)
Let it take you to the place where great demos are made and you can be yourself in code and design, in sound and meaning. After all, who could resist International Karate and headbanging? 8)

- When I first saw this, I was floored. Everything in this video seems so "cool" and "professional", you'd hardly think it was done in a hurry or without the help of a team. :) Well done Weasel!
The mix of wild and PC platform demos was maybe done naturally to entertain the people on The Bus, but it does represent the wealth of creativity within the demo scene (whatever the platform is). After viewing this video many times over, I can only say it's probably the best documentary yet to introduce new people to the world of demos!
Even without knowledge of all of the demo scenes fine grained differentiations, non-scene people I gave this 'demo' to were instantly amazed by the creativity of its contents. The whole concept of a demo was much easier to grasp for the uninformed by simply watching examples produced by household names in the scene.
The apparent lack of tech speak in the hosting (using the wonderful head by Farbrausch) serves to make the general idea of demo productions known - to create. This illustrates the need for somebody to be able to translate the code-like language of some aspects of the scene into a less technology based lingo, especially for the rest of the existing demos. There are new people out there just wanting to create something (digitally), but they don't know how for lack of demo scene promotion. I think that's what compilations like this can (and in this case almost effortlessly do) achieve; which is a good thing, demo creation should receive the public awareness it deserves.
I find myself going back to this production just to see a couple of parts here and there, which speaks for the choice of the demos and how masterly they've been compiled. Also, it's very forward looking and futuristic, since the "Demos of a new Decade" only serve to ring the opening bell for more things to come and enjoy.
Now, if only there was another part to it! 75 minutes of it were simply too short. I'd really like to see more!
