"very impresive"

date: May 17, 2006

i know its only a test for water in flash but in appearences it is one of the most impressive pieces of work i have ever seen.

its content isn't anything to write home about but thats not why anyone would watch this flash.

that is a brilliant song. ive always loved it and have been trying to play it on my tin whistle all week

"rests in your mind"

by: Bezman
date: April 5, 2006

++ The water at the start does look fantastic. Is it made up using photos?

- Some vectors aren't so great. I thought the hands looked kinda flat and didn't like the way the bottle looks in the water all that much.

+++ Beautiful music. Evocative.

++ Some nice colours.

----- I felt the ending was really unsatisfying.

overall
=====
It is a haunting piece. Having read your author's comments, I do start to wonder about the little character. Questions flitter about.

Maybe one of those movies that rests in your mind and grows into something more than it was on-screen. A simple feeling evoked grows into a fuller story.

Author's Response:

Yeah, the water's made up using 2 wave images at a low alpha, moving against eachother over a sea gradient background.
Let it grow...

"Outstanding."

by: Awn

I thought the graphics were beautiful. Especially at the start with the ocean view below the moonlight. The old man was excellently animated and everything that you animated in this flash is thorough in detail, I'm impressed by that, it must've taken quite a while to do this, even though it's not very long. I felt the tune playing suited this flash perfectly. The style of this flash was very effective, especially as it was quite slow. I didn't expect that ending, especially on the title, but I sure enjoyed it. All I can say it that perhaps it could have been slightly longer, because I would have loved to see more. To sum up, I thought it was interesting and delightful, nice work.

"i'd tink an irishmn'd be mad the botle had no beer"

date: March 25, 2006

dude.. wiplash is a doosh. the 'newgrounds way' is flash without boundary, there are no guidelines. thats what makes this great. the people decide what is good and what is crap. this was well put together but the story was dull. after reading your intentions of this film i think you met your goals nicely. so how do i rate this..i think it was successful, yet lacked entertainment somewhat.. i give it a 4 of 5. there now your score went up a .00001 point.

"That was very well done for a week."

date: March 17, 2006

Nice job. Everyone who's Irish is sure to enjoy this and the message and flash in all were short, but they made a good moral, and the music was nice. Good job, and happy St.Pat's everyone!
