Picture Book by Axis

Coming up    You saw Picturebook, our contribution to the SIH 1995 party,held in Roosendaal, the Netherlands.    Not the prizes to be won inspired us to make this demobut the fact that it was over a year ago we released ourcomeback with Big Time Sensuality.Just after we finished making Movements NUMBtogether with 911 & Alex.    We havent done much after that, as far as the scene goes.Only releasing a musicdisk called CHIP.     Hope you enjoyed our 35mm screen. We are glad this demohas reached the deadline for this party, although we'resorry to report that this demo was not properly tested ondifferent kinds of Amiga's because of lack of time....(we managed the deadline by 2 minutes!!! this sucks!)  As for the lovers of reading big scrollers, there will bea whole filmscript from Erik the Viking after this scroller - Press Right Mousebutton to hold the scrolltext -    Sorry Reality, Iso just hadn't got the time to make ahalf-an-hour tune for the graphics compo.Hope you did like all the comic representations for thebig screen, it was quite a lot.     As you already noticed, we used no full-screen effects, as isused in almost all demos. Instead we used a 35mm lookalike,as in the cinemas. Which is quite impressive to look at(like filming with Panavision). As for the stills, we used a fullscreen-mode. Otherwisewe had to scale the original pictures, which isn't exactlythe thing we had in mind -no scanning methods are used-.Techniques with Brilliance, like smear and airbrush      Axis internals, quote of the month Steroid: 'Ik ga het uitmaken met mijn vriendinwant ze begint mijn tong te pijpenTeam reply: 'IQ Factor 10 ?'

I want to thank some artists I really admire: Bjork ............. You're really my favourite! Without your                    music I wasn't able to make it myself.                    'Post' is the best album ever made! Those                    strings in 'Hyper-ballad' and 'Isobel'                    rule ..The Prodigy ....... The best house-act ever. 'Jilted..' was                    a masterpiece. I'm looking forward to                    the live-performance at Lowland's in                    Holland. A third album surely will be                    stunning.Tricky ............ Very very weird samples and very nice                    drumtracks. Also the female singer on                    'Maxinquay' is fabulous!FSOL .............. Those samples! Wow!Chemical Brothers . Pure drums rule ..Sven Vath .........

Ambient andbreakbeats rule at arf!By the way Joris, thanks for all the beats you once gave me.Some of them are used in the tunes in this demoas single drum-sounds. Thanx pal.

  Released and distributed at :the Somewhere in Holland 1995 Party, the Netherlands       This demo was dedicated toGeertje, Rivka & Trudy    Copyright Audiovisual ® 1995 Axis    All Rights Reserved.                 <  - Terry JonesBlackness.Flames begin to lick upwards from the bottom of the screen.Suddenly all hell breaks loose. Screaming, yelling.Black figures flash across the foreground, with the flamesstill burning behind.There follows a confusion of burning, raping, killing andlooting - we don't clearly see what's going on.Suddenly we cut to the interior of a hut. The door is in theprocess of being broken down. The camera pans onto theclose-up face of an attractive girl who is staring inhorrified fascination at the door. Her arms are white withfresh dough and flour. Suddenly the door bursts openand a wild-looking Viking leaps into the hut.He holds a sword. He looks around wildly and then his eyescome to rest on the girl.This Viking, I'm afraid, is Erik. We are about to see himin the worst possible light so be prepared.The girl, whose name is Helga, cowers, and looks terrified butresolute. Erik glances round.Then slowly he advances on the girl, forcing her back ontoa chest. Erik holds his sword to Helga's throat with hisright hand, while his left hand searches to find the thongsholding up his trousers.He is clearly having difficulties trying to hold his heavysword to Helga's throat at he same time as undoing histrousers. He fumbles and lowers his sword for a moment.   HELGA          Have you done this sort of thing before?ERIK           Me? Of course! I've been looting and pillaging               up and down the coast.HELGA          (looking sceptical) Looting and pillaging, eh?ERIK           (on the defensive) Yes.HELGA          What about the raping?ERIK           Shut up.HELGA          It's obvious you haven't raped anyone in your               life.ERIK           Sh!  He covers her mouth with his free hand, and looks round tomake sure no one's heard. Then he carries on trying to undohis trousers, but he is now somewhat more than half-heartedabout it.Helga watches suspiciously.  HELGA          Do you LIKE women?Erik is clearly shocked and stung by the insinuation.He stops.  ERIK           Of course I like women... I LOVE 'em.HELGA          (pointing out the obvious) You don't love ME.ERIK           No... right... this  is  RAPE...  Mark  you,               I'm  not saying I couldn't get to  like  you.               in  fact...  well,  to  be quite honest, I               prefer it when there's some sort of mutual               feeling between two people...HELGA          What - rape?ERIK           No. It isn't rape then, is it?HELGA          Oh, get it over with.ERIK           (hesitates again) I don't suppose... no...HELGA          What?ERIK           I don't suppose you... you DO like me at all?HELGA          What d'you expect? You come in here, burn my               village, kill my family and try to rape me...  This is too much for Erik. We withers under the irony. ERIK           I'll kill you if you say anything about this               to anyone.HELGA          (puzzled)	About raping me?ERIK           About NOT raping you...HELGA          You DON'T like it, do you?ERIK           Well it just seems a little bit crude, that's               all.HELGA          What about the killing and looting? That's               just as crude, isn't it?ERIK           Oh well - you've GOT to do them.HELGA          Why? Why have you got to go round killing and               looting?ERIK           To pay for the next expedition, of course.HELGA          But that's a circular argument! If the only               reason for going on an expedition is the               killing and looting and the only reason               for the killing and looting is to pay for the               next expedition, they cancel each other out.ERIK           Oh! Stop talking as if we were married!HELGA          Well you started it.ERIK           I just said I didn't feel like raping you.HELGA          And I was just saying that rape is no MORE               pointless or crude than all the killing and               looting that goes on.
