These already exists and are called wild demos:
From http://tomaes.32x.de/text/faq.php http://tomaes.32x.de/text/faq.php:
A wild demo can be pretty much everything. Some possibilities:
- It's any kind of film, usually available as divx/avi file
(music videos, shorts, comedies, trash, prerendered animations...)
- It's a demo that requires very rare/strange hardware to run
(c64 with SCPUs, for example)
- It's a demo that simply does not fit in any other competition (and the
applying rules) of a given demoparty.
- Sometimes, live performances count as 'wild' demos too. ;)
However, in most cases, it IS a short movie (clip), either tradionally filmed
or CG/animated.
- Mithaldu 11y agoNot quite. Megademos are simply really big demos, the very first example of which being Second Reality by Future Crew. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTjnt_WSJu8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTjnt_WSJu8 Nowadays megademos might be put into the wild demo compo, but from what i know parties put length restrictions on those as well. The primary purpose of wild demo compos however is to allow platforms that do not compare well with the classic demo platforms, such as the various ARM mini computers, game consoles or really old computers.
- z303 11y agoWhile Second Reality is a classic. It was not the first megademo. I remember the term not being new in the late 80's on the Amiga and ST http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=1331 http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=1331 http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=3119 http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=3119 http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=3242 http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=3242 http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=3972 http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=3972
- Mithaldu 11y agoI stand corrected, my wording was absolutely wrong and i should've written "one of the earlier". Thanks for the examples too! :D
