Multimedia

This category is for very general sites covering the topic of multimedia. Multimedia is the combination of multiple forms of digital media such as text, images, sound, animation and video. It often includes interactivity and can be delivered on CD, DVD, hard drive or through the Internet

Please do not submit multimedia sites to this category unless they are completely general in subject matter. There is a very high possibility that there is a sub-category which will fit your site better. Please try and find the appropriate one.

Demoscene

A demo is a program that displays a sound, music, and light show. Demos are very fun to watch, because they seemingly do things that aren't possible on the machine they were programmed on. Essentially, demos "show off". Demos are an art form. They blend mathematics, programming skill, and creativity into something incredible to watch and listen to.

Programming Technique + Art = Demo

This category is not for portfolios of multimedia art but for the specific artform of demos, also known as eurodemos, a program that displays a sound, music, and light show.

Digital Video

Digital video contains sites related to videos, films, and other video related graphics that are created and edited. Digital video can be created on computers or with digital cameras, and edited on tape or computers. Often the line between linear and non-linear in digital editing is blurred, which is why it is so diverse and flexible. Macintoshes, IBM compatible computers, and many industrial grade systems are used in this field. The Digital Video category contains sites about the software, hardware, computers, techniques, current projects, or any video related item that is manipulated digitally.
