Its nice to see somebody doing something interesting with Elephants Dream. I had actually been expecting a lot more projects like this, and I'm surprised that there aren't that many others. NathanKP - Inkweaver Review

Iceweasel: Strange, I'm on a 64bit platform (WinXP 64 Professional), and I CAN see the flash. Maybe you are just using the wrong OS ;)

@ Alex Blank
Did you see the youtube link? Daniel has uploaded it to youtube also, so you should be able to view it there?

Not being able to view the website sucks (my internet pc is a Win 95, so I can't view flash). So when I first read this, I thought that Daniele had composed new music for Elephants Dream, which would have been really cool. While I love the original music (and pretty much everything else Jan Morgenstern writes), it would be great to see that degree of creativity. If anyone else would be interested in doing that, perhaps a competition should be initiated. I'd join…

Looks good, takes too long to buffer.

Unfortunetly, as good as you could be on sound design, your website is crap… flash crap especially! :/

So, i can't browse because of my 64bits platform.
too bad!

Making simple website is easy, easier than using flash.

Thanks to everybody.
I worked on this movie with the intent to give at the scenes my personal scenographic conception that can describe in a different way the atmosphere and, in general, the pathos; I believe that it is also possible only using the "sound".

All the samplings derive from objects that it can be found in a studio or in a house:
for example
the explosion in the fourth scene comes from the processing of a bit of paper,
the rotating platforms come out from my chair creak,
all the winds and some ambient atmospheres come from my studio's dehumifier.

In my website, in the english sound design section, there is a new video called "Ipazia, Invisible City" where only the sound, with a text, describe all the story based on the adventure of a yourneyman direct to the surreal and faraway city, Ipazia.

Keep in touch.

Thanks Alex Delderfield for the publication.
Daniele

I think ED is a mini masterpiece. The acting is what it is, and I think it fits very well into the movie as a whole. This soundtrack was interesting – I will say that the slight reverb on the voices really gave it an ambience that wasn't in the original.
