When I want to show people what an intro is and tell them a bit about the demoscene, I usually show them the intro Elevated, which won the PC 4k compo at Breakpoint 2009. For me it really shows the talent of Iq and the other people who created it. It’s truly amazing what can be done in just 4 kilobyte!
Not sure if we are following the same demoparties but I still see plenty of great demos, intros, music, etc. being released. I do see new compos being add liked Modern GFX, Animations, Photo, and Videos but I dont feel that deminish the creativity of the Demoscene.
On a side note, I am looking forward to this year Revision demoparty.
