[PHENOMENA] feiniméan

[padman]

Greetings fellow DBFers!

So here it is, my little contribution to this challenge. I told you, I'd come up with something even with my limited time frame atm... This prod features a couple of never seen before phenomena like lightning, fog and rain. All presented in the most realistic way of course!  I truly hope that it'll work for you all, since I haven't got time to fix more bugs than I already did... hehe

Anyway, enjoy!

Great production. Again, very oldschoolish - I like it.

Lightning and rain effect are superb ... just wondering why you hold everything in black&white ?

Scrolly is rotating cool, too .. and thanks for the greet ;-)

K++

[padman]

Thanks mate!

It's supposed to add some arty bit to it. Guess it didn't work out. But, well,  I always had bad marks in art class, I should have known... haha

No no, it looks cool. I just thought there would come a special fx - maybe the RSI guys gets colored when a lightning flashes or so. But nevertheless, looks cool. I like the frame around the scene, too!

[Raizor]

Cool stuff Padman. Nice oldschool vibe. I especially like the exit effect and of course the cool Melon style Padman logo in the corner

EDIT: K++ for making something too

[padman]

@ benny: All is cool, I was just kidding. (Not about the art class thing though...  )

...there would come a special fx - maybe the RSI guys gets colored when a lightning flashes or so

Really cool idea. Crap, too late now... 

@ Raizor: Thanks mate!  Though you are basically saying you like it best when it's almost over. FINE!

[Hotshot]

[Shockwave]

I really love that fog effect, the lightning looks great too!

Nice one

@ Raizor:

@ Hotshot & Shockwave: Cheers guys! Glad you like it.

nice mate! the FX are really cool, also I dig that twisted scroller.  I'm missing the colours, but this is my personal taste

[padman]

Thanks dude!

I'm missing the colours, but this is my personal taste

Just you wait! Next thing after HD television will be black and white conventional tube television again... I'm ages ahead! hehe

haha, on the day they gonna ban colours I just want to die! k++ for the humor

[Kirl]

Awesome style again padman, the bloke in the foreground reminds me of the main character from Discworld Noire.
Cool FX and I really dig the scroller! 

[combatking0]

I like the new take on the classic sine scroller - a sort of sine twist scroller

Also the lightning effect is convincing.

Nice prod! Great scroll

huhu was too busy in real life to produce something... 

[padman]

Thanks for the kind words guys! Glad you like it. 

@ jace: there's still some time left, get your lazy ass in gear!

Looks much better now Padman! I still haven't managed to read all the scroll-text, it makes my eyes explode a bit with the twisting

Yeah, love the colorOnLightning effect a lot. Very well executed. Intro is now even better. Very good work!
