******* @ Christian & Team - my congratulation too for wonderful statistics, which show your great engagement at last :police: :dink: Margit Title: Re: Competition 2012 - and the winners are... Post by: Kali on July 01, 2012, 10:30:40 PM Oh no, someone defeated me using a kitchenware set! ;D
That's ok, I'm very happy with that 2nd place, more than enough for me. Thanks for your votes!!! :beer: :beer: :beer: Also I learned that I have to get better at photo manipulation... I'll forget about maths, programming, and all that stupid things... I even started working on one for the next year's competition... I had this idea of a "fractal bathroom set"... we all know how handy could it be sometimes to have a never-ending roll of fractal toilet paper... Btw, I've noticed I ran out of it so... (note to me: please stop and behave, don't include that joke about making prints of the winner image and... you know what I mean, be a good looser, ok?) Sorry :embarrass: Congrats to all the winners! :toast: Title: Re: Competition 2012 - and the winners are... Post by: JC.Guarneros on July 01, 2012, 11:46:40 PM Congratulations to the winners!!!

And thanks to all who voted also on my stuff. It was an honor to take place in this competition together with so many talented artists. I must admit that I did take this challenge not so serious for myself because I felt as underdog not using M3BD and coming with only fractal flames instead. But I saw that you respect all fractal art and this made me really happy and I'm looking forward to the next challenges :-) Best regards, thargor6 Title: Re: Competition 2012 - and the winners are... Post by: Xenodimensional on July 02, 2012, 06:44:57 AM Congratulations to everyone, especially LhoghoNurbs, Vega and Taurus!
The fact that we are all alive (or at least accounted for in this ancestor simulation), on this planet and are able to use computers to make such beautiful things makes us all winners :-) Title: Re: Competition 2012 - and the winners are...

Title: Re: Competition 2012 - and the winners are... Post by: Alef on July 03, 2012, 05:51:30 PM Winners no doubt had a best works in each category. Only a bitt dissapointing is too depresive atmosphere of some top works :'(
So I would note this work for its creativity: http://www.fractalforums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=11274 (http://www.fractalforums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=11274) Title: Re: Competition 2012 - and the winners are... Post by: Tabasco Raremaster on July 03, 2012, 05:58:37 PM Congratulations LhoghoNurbs, Vega and Taurus. Keep up the good work.
@ Kali ; thanks for the good laugh I just had. @ Darkbeam ; It`s original footage of an old-school television. MY CONFESSION; The "Television GaGa" animation is pretty much a practical joke. The max file size was so small that I could only use tree downsized frames of noise. Worst of all; it`s "aquired" from the net so not mine at all. Title: Re: Competition 2012 - and the winners are... Post by: taurus on July 03, 2012, 10:57:19 PM Only a bitt dissapointing is too depresive atmosphere of some top works :'( i'd prefer 'at times melancholy'. but if any, i never intended that - it was more of close to despair, not to get it done in time :dink: but anyhow - if i really managed, to transport some emotion, i'm quite stisfied. many fractal animations suffer from a lack of emotion... still having fun! Title: Re: Competition 2012 - and the winners are... Post by: Alef on July 05, 2012, 05:01:23 PM follow me! is nice, somewhat more to say nostalgic or autumn like. Melancholy Towers and Aztech City got me depressed. I hope, authors don't hate me for this statement, they both have fantastic artworks. Melancholic towers are melancholic, and aztecch city is postapocaliptic. These authors alsou had another works, but the most pessimistic got up.
Title: Re: Competition 2012 - and the winners are... Post by: eiffie on July 05, 2012, 05:06:31 PM Congrats to all! Lots of great work in all categories. I do have a suggestion to encourage more films next year maybe a heads-up on the theme a bit sooner. As Taurus mentioned some felt rushed. Looking forward to next year!

Not that I don't like Taurus' animation, don't get me wrong. I justed wanted to congratulate you on the narrative efforts and the graphical variety you put in your videos. :beer: Title: Re: Competition 2012 - and the winners are... Post by: cKleinhuis on July 05, 2012, 05:34:05 PM topics for next year will be announced halve a year before submission period, we discussed it already in the admin area, and i agreed to give you more time to develop a nice movie/image, so, next years compo will really give you much more time, but rule will be the same that entries have to be unique, and not been published beforehand, so keep your pearls in the cave until submission period begins...
Title: Re: Competition 2012 - and the winners are... Post by: taurus on July 05, 2012, 06:47:43 PM I hope next year you'll win! no harm, that's ok for me. to be honest, i didn't think, i could beat effies "crayons". compared to this, my vid is rather old fashioned, but i decided to work on concept and strong first 30 seconds (incl intro). dunno if i'm right, but i guess this was a good decission. looking forward to battle next year...Not that I don't like Taurus' animation, don't get me wrong. I justed wanted to congratulate you on the narrative efforts and the graphical variety you put in your videos. :beer: Title: Re: Competition 2012 - and the winners are... Post by: cKleinhuis on July 05, 2012, 09:24:28 PM my favorite was "let me gO" because it was great music, and a fully featured long animation path, aswell as yours taurus, but the music was better ;)
Title: Re: Competition 2012 - and the winners are... Post by: cKleinhuis on July 05, 2012, 10:38:14 PM just watched the crayons several times from my hd, love it, great path, great music, gotta watch yours next time as well, taurus, but it is sooooo slooooo
Title: Re: Competition 2012 - and the winners are... Post by: Kali on July 06, 2012, 05:01:36 AM Melancholic towers are melancholic lol, this sounds more like a compliment to me... thanks ;D I think it's a matter of how the observer reacts to the image... I must admit that both Johan's work and mine don't have specially a joy or happiness feel, but I think there's nothing wrong about it... in my case maybe it reflects the way I was feeling at the moment I did it. But are they really so depressing? The only thing that got me depressed is that the winner image is a just a simple photo manipulation of an image taken from an ad. The rest is just fine ;) Cheers, Title: Re: Competition 2012 - and the winners are... Post by: LhoghoNurbs on July 06, 2012, 07:54:10 AM The only thing that got me depressed is that the winner image is a just a simple photo manipulation of an image taken from an ad. I feel depressed that you got depressed. And I feel sorry that I failed to generate my contest entry with a formula. Title: Re: Competition 2012 - and the winners are... Post by: KRAFTWERK on July 06, 2012, 09:07:31 AM I feel depressed that you got depressed. And I feel sorry that I failed to generate my contest entry with a formula. Hey Lhogo. you shouldn't take Kali that seriously... I think... ;) Your image was a much worthy winner, you thought outside the box and made a great creative image which many people liked and gave five stars (me included). Don't be depressed, be happy, soon you get the most precious mug you've ever owned! Cheers :beer: Johan Title: Re: Competition 2012 - and the winners are... Post by: Kali on July 06, 2012, 09:53:51 AM Hey Lhogo. you shouldn't take Kali that seriously... I think... ;) Off course, It's just my opinion... I feel depressed that you got depressed. And I feel sorry that I failed to generate my contest entry with a formula. ...and I was paraphrasing Asdam's, I'm not depressed about it... not at all... just a bit dissapointed. Also I'm not saying it's a fail of yours, you managed to win the contest without formulas, so congratulations anyway. I give you the credit for originality and the idea... the image is cool, but for me is only a funny one, and way overrated if this was really a "fractal art competition", and not something like a "general digital art contest that must include something related to fractals". For me, the beauty on fractals is on the way that math generates them, giving life to shapes and patterns from nothing more than a simple recursive formula, or some algorithm. Then is like a photographer's work, exploring, looking for the scene, searching for patterns, colors and lighting that helps you to give the image your own artistical touch. That's fractal art for me, maybe is another different thing for others, and that's ok. Also, besides the strictly "fractal" aspect, I think that any generative art should be more valued on a site like this... don't know what else to say, I just wanted to express my disconformity about your work being the winner. Sorry. Title: Re: Competition 2012 - and the winners are... Post by: LhoghoNurbs on July 06, 2012, 10:22:35 AM I didn't know that fractal art is inherently bound to using math formulae. I must have misinterpreted the meaning of "made up of anything you like" and "be innovative, creative" in the contest's Wildstyle section guidelines:
Title: Re: Competition 2012 - and the winners are... Post by: taurus on July 06, 2012, 11:04:06 AM i do not think, this discussion is necessary. The infinity set is well related to fractals, and no general digital artwork. Further the contest is decided by the community and not a jury. Personally i see the infinity set also a bit critical, but this is a matter of taste and not of interrest in the end. gotta watch yours next time as well, taurus, but it is sooooo slooooo i won the contest, so i'll stay sooooo coooool! |
