Ephidrena & Darklite – Chips don’t lie (2010)

Fresh new material from well known Amiga posses Ephidrena and Darklite!
Running on AGA Amigas (not sure which spec, I haven’t tried this in my 030 yet)  this demo got the first position at the oldschool competition in Solskogen 2010 party in Norway.

The demo mixes a cool video capture technique with really nice flat-surface 3D graphics and an acid soundtrack by Response. The code was by well known scener LOADERROR.
Enjoy!

Arman Bohn – Brain Games

The video to “Brain Games,” the third track from Arman Bohn‘s Atari 2600-inspired “Bits” album, was created using drawings made on a Nintendo DSi. These elements were combined with traditionally-shot footage in After Effects, resulting in a monochrome 1080-line-high heap of pixels.
