Touch - new music video and critique

Two welcome events
Paul Gillard has put up a Flash version of a recent
music video
intended as a Podcast. I did try out iTunes but it did not work so well. Maybe it was just me.

The track is Touch by PublicSymphony

Ruairi Fullam has done a critique on this, comparing it with the demoscene. Ruairi organised the Sundown event in Budleigh last year. There will probably be another in October.

Critique:

"Paul's choice of palettes and effects can't be faulted, however to the
seasoned cgi / demoscene enthusiast a lack of synchronization and effect
re-use would be a primary criticism. Despite this, the production makes
up for itself by being an enjoyable and intriguing watch with some
smooth soft neon coffee-swirl effects topped with an excellent chill-out
soundtrack by up and coming Public Symphony. The production also
features some tasteful plasma effects, Poser-esque CGI figures, and
delicately tuned movements and zooms at varying speeds that fit well
without feeling disorientating at all. A recommended production, only
improved possibly with a keener eye on synchronization which could
really add some beautiful abstract symbolism, in the same vein as Tesla
by Sunflower (http://pouet.net/prod.php?which=33). Recommended."
