                        Hi everyone!

You probably know or can be guessed that already in 1998
year! In my opinion, there is reason, moreover, is very 
compelling to discuss number of issues relating demostroeniya, 
or rather its future. In 1997, I was fond of a little analysis 
of some of the most striking Demo works, was even smaller 
projections for the future, ie What style will dominate any 
effects will be popular direction, music, etc. It will be 
interesting to know that something truly realized, so it makes 
sense continue the case. But let's not until the rush to

forecasts. First of all, make one small remark: I
writing this in the hope that there will be people who
as well as I would be interested to discuss the proposed above 
topic or just talk about demostroenii.


Over the past week with us in Grodno it quite a lot of software,
among whom I found three demos. Frankly, watching them
not made me a special impression, not to mention some
feelings;) Oblomno, of course, the three work and personal
original and memorable, the usual mediocrity. All
it suggests why so much suffering, if in the end
get another stamping. If you analyze any of the
the works mentioned in the plan, such as coding, it is 
impossible to say it's frank sucks, there is, of course, things 
are not very fresh, well, and everything else more or less 
level. Music, too, like would be normal. Well, if you gather it 
all together, then we all quite obyydenno, and not particularly 
attractive. So what this case is a measure of success? Of 
course, first of all, coding, music, design, and partly the 
idea. Some will ask, where does the idea of ​​a demo - it is a 
demonstration of how cool you know how koditpisat 
muzykurisovat. But the rest say that in general demostroenie 
makes no sense, therefore it makes no sense to them and to deal 
with. In my opinion to talk about lack of meaning at least 
silly, just do, it means the meaning is.


I believe that everyone who planned to write the demo did not 
want to just demonstrate their capabilities and using them to 
attract attention audience to something much more exciting. But 
if just think, as painted to show itself, then it can go and

to theft, but what is known stolen items will be called to
best, an ironic smile, well, and at worst ...

However, not all, of course, want to impress the people of its 
steepness, there are people willing to do something really 
interesting. Among this contingent, most are not proficient in

sufficient knowledge and experience. Professional
coder, it is much easier, he is able to write a good effect,
make quality DeMouy not even paying attention
design, originality, and the more the idea. Can not say that
Such works are not popular, although special
admiration they do not cause. In order not to be 
unsubstantiated, can give an example, try to compare the work 
RST7 and Imp'a. I did in no way want to run into work RST7, 
moreover, assert that the demos Imp'a better RST7 or vice versa 
simply stupid. I only want to draw your attention to the 
technical implementation of works. RST7 wrote effects that are 
already in the nude, ie without music and appropriate treatment 
of Luxury cool beholder. The effects of the same degree of 
Imp'a heaped well in any way can not compete with rstshnymi. It 
turns out it's not just effects.


The problem for all beginners demomeykerov is that
too much of what has been developed for over the years
existence demostroeniya on Speccy automatically
perceived as something absolute. Demomeykery as if "by
inertia "consider some things as standard. That must be so
done, and all because "both made" - for example, start
DeMouy with "Presents", a finish "The End". I do not think that
viewers do not figure out where to start, but where is the end. 
The whole point is in these "unwritten" standards. Once upon a 
time, back in Trashe we writing - Demoing shall make you free. 
Some people knew about it probably even before us. Freedom - 
what I want, and do, most importantly, that from no one 
suffered. That desire to write Imp'u FUCK OFF big letters 
(Vibrations), he wrote. But I've been want to draw a great end 
to the whole screen (Condommed). Who knows, maybe there is 
someone who like:) Oh and most importantly - it attracts the 
attention of the viewer, brings a variety! Lack of same 
originality creates monotony. 

In my opinion demostroeniya sense is that there is
power to make people happy. Everyone does it differently. 
Someone like heavy for the perception of someone, by contrast, 
likes to pop music, well, there are people who are attracted to 
anything unusual, unlike anything else. The more new and 
original ideas, we will realize in our work, the more the more 
people will enjoy our creations and not necessarily that these

ideas relate only to coding. Demos Imp'a prove this as
can not be better.

These are the thoughts here I visited 03.08.1998, well, I 
hurried write them down. If you're in something not agree with 
me, then do not Take the time to write. And now Bye!
