Title: [PHENOMENA] feiniméan
Post by: padman on November 06, 2011
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... :P This prod features a couple of never seen before phenomena like lightning, fog and rain. All presented in the most realistic way of course!  ;D 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!

Pad :)

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++

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!

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

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

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!  ;D

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

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!  :clap:

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

Also the lightning effect is convincing.

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 ;)
