This is one of the better productions to come out of the demo scene in some time. One of the more important aspects
of this demo is the attention that ASD put into creating a story to wrap their demo effects in.

Commentary:
This demo was released at the 16th Euskal demo-party and was voted first place in the competition. However, it isn't as engaging as their earlier release "Life Force." The accompanying audio is dramatic but seems inconsistant with the slow-paced techical visuals.

Demo title: Contre Jour Group: PlayPsyCo
Release date: August 2008 Rating: 3 out of 5
Commentary:
While this demo recieved a second place standing at assembly 2008, it suffers from having segment lengths that are too long. One is left the distict impression that it violates the 4 G rule - Get it, Got it, Good, Go. This rule embodies the principle of concision. Any viewer can reasonably expect of a production that it be fast paced. After 3 seconds just move on to the next effect or element of the narrative.
