Since the 80s the demoscene is constantly producing amazing real-time animations on all kinds of hardware platforms, from the Commodore C64 to Tamagotchis to the PS4. In this workshop, Tobias Kopka will introduce you into the culture and craft of demomaking, show some of the demoscenes´ finest productions, discuss which background the demoscene has in the crackerscene and will dive with you into Intromaniac, one of the available freeware tools which can be used for intro making slightly the quirky way. After the workshop you will be able to walk-away with your own Amiga retro style intro, without even having to know how to code.
