Here's my entry: Windows Zoom Effect Nine.
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBtdzmytjUQ[/youtube]
Here's the story: I've started a new computer course and since we're not allowed to download anything here I've had to make this with the programs that come preinstalled on Widnows XP. So I made my entry using a piece of clipart, which I added some circles to using Microsoft Word, then I zoomed in on it with MS Paint, and added effects using Windows Movie Maker 2.1. This probably completely disqualifies me, but this is all I can do. :P I've attached the original image, below.
:cow:

Looks really cool dude. Is missing a groovy tune :)
I think they refer to these as Wild Demos.
-
That's looks very arty and cool. I like it - and why not having a
wild demo in the comp ;-)

Well the rules say;
# You can use any platform that is compatible with windows XP+Vista.
# You may write something for web browsers as long as it works in IE7 or FF3 (or both!)
Which this entry does comply with, personally I am happy to have it in the challenge as it runs in a browser and its compatible in XP+Vista. If anyone disagrees, please pm me personally, it will be anonymous.
Cheers :)

I say definitely acceptable for the compo :D
Creative use of tools, I have to say..and "wild demo" works on multiple levels with this!! :)
Nice one :cheers:

Very abstract, I like it! Slow day at college?

Not college; government-funded 8 month ECDL (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Computer_Driving_Licence) course so that they can pay me back my PRSI (http://www.citizensinformation.ie/categories/social-welfare/irish-social-welfare-system/social-insurance-prsi/social_insurance_in_ireland#howtoapply) credits for that instead of actually counting me on the dole register which is 410,000 people/ 4.5 million population. Recession, recession, credit crunch. Economic slump.
Thank you all for accepting this entry.

Oh, yes, and the reason I can't make an entry for the comp at home is that my computer has been invaded by little red men, only lets me boot in Safe Mode, and even at that crashes any time I load a program other than Firefox or AVG (which detects no virii). But that's another thread.

Neat entry. Wildly artsy. :)
-
The video is pretty cool!

I had a similar problem lately just that the dots were green mainly.
Changed my graphics-card and everything was fine again.

Aye, looks like the video card ram has died.

I agree and it is cool video too :)

I had no idea clip arts had so much detail. Great video - I wish I could do video effects.
-
Except for some "coder colors" :P, this was very creative, well done !
-
Really cool idea and awesome result! :)

May look into this. The knock it got when it fell off the desk and broke my finger can't have helped, either. The kick it got after that seemed to improve its performance, though.
Thanks for all the comments, maties. It's got me very interested in doing more demo like effects for projection, etc. Few ideas, now.

Well done :)
