The Crest man at the end, with the running paint FX, for some reason the audio (which i like very much) gave me flash backs to the music that plays to a Cadburys Flake TV Ad, that showed a female and her water painting skills. The Ad made quite an impression on me as a child.
I have always loved good TV Ads, compared to ads that are designed to annoy. Here is the TV Ad in question:

| @Kal , no "Crest Avantgarde" is the real name. |

| I only know this great demo under the name "White Christmas". That's also what is written in the first part. Maybe the main-name should be "White Christmas" and "Crest Avantgarde" then should be added to the various AKA names for this release? Only a suggestion, but could maybe make sense when looking at the first part. Only a member of Crest itself could finally answer the thing here with all these names for this production. :) |

Quality demo full of neat little details that aren't explained, but where it's assumed that you know enough about the limits of the machine to appreciate them. A lot of the tricks really annoyed me in the old days, such as the hires scroller in GULB, since I couldn't figure out how they were done, and much less how this god called Crossbow could keep coming up with so many new ideas on how to do things that we all assumed were impossible.
bepp: Load second file ,8,1 and then run. |

| Too many oldskool scroll-texts for my taste, but because everything looks so licked and there is some really gorgeous music it is still a keeper for me. And those bricks in upper and lower borders with balls running through them, wtf?!? That was stunning. |

| Hmmm... first file does not load, nor does second one. Syntax error in both. Tried both with and without AR. Tried both in VICE and real HW. Not on real floppy though. Had to load each part in turn... What's up? |

1 of the Top 5 Crest Demos!
For some reason I always liked the Rose part. Oh and GULB.
They should make more demos like this. |

| Hmmm... what do I need to do to get this demo started? I get a syntax error on 8381 every time I try to run it. What did I miss? ;-( |

Should be more famous, for what it does.
Could it be that it doesn't always show all parts? |

| Another thing that made this extremely memorable, at least to me, is the fact that there are so many variations of the demo & the directory. Absolutely fabulous demo! |

the dypp part is really something, i never figured out how it is possible to hold so much dypp scrollers...
together with the moving spltrasterbars you have a lot of action going on.. basicly impossible,,,
but here it is done... very cool...
edit: Ha.. i figured it out... i thought i was very hard to code.. but after all it isn't so hard... respect to the person who inveted this trick in the first place.. i wonder if this trick is used with bigger charsets.. for example a 6x6 char dypp scroller....

The most wicked part of it was just as HCL once noted; this demo features music for several productions alone. Like some other sceners hated; The Directory is reorganized and some parts look different.
Although it speaks more of a restriction rather than unlimited possibilities, the impression at that time was something endless, something quite unique and in a way like the name says something of a Avantgarde thing... |

| This is my favourite C64 demo of all time, in terms of coding. I never saw a demo with more apparently impossible-to-do VIC-tricks. |
