Reviews for "Abyssal"

wow, nothing like reliving a dream

its amazing how well you set the mood in this flash, low bassed music in the background with the most random noises to acompany it. youve captured both the visual sense aswell as the audio to set this nightmare-like flash which i find amazingly familiar to a dream i once had

Relaxing ^L^,

Watching films like this once in a while makes me feel relaxed. It really portrayed the unknown wonders of the world hidden under the sea. Who knows? Maybe your depictions of those fish are real!

All good except the sound

As the title of my review says, it was quite good in overall except for the audio part.

You should make your sounds fade out instead of just stopping them. Like when the big monster/fish pass behind him the sound of his ''pathing'' stop when he leaves the screen, it would be better if it faded out like it would do normaly.

I removed 2 points for this, because I audio is the most important thing in a flash imo. All the rest is good,
Animation 3/3
Creativity 3/3
Audio 2/4

I'm sorry for all the mistakes in my review, english is my second language.

Yeah I made a few of them fade or echo but forgot others, I should've waited a bit to upload it :)
Thanks though!

Well, that was scary..

Hmm...

Not bad. Though a little bit of the creepyness is lost on me, but that's basically cuz this entire thing seemed inspired by the documentary "Deep sea", part of the "Blue Planet" series about wild life in the ocean. This focusing on all the fish in the deeper parts of the ocean. You definitely did the trick of making them creepier though, so props for that. Not saying it's a rip off of those creatures, but I'd say a good... four or five of the creatures in this look really similar to those. Just saying.
On another note, it needs to be... I don't know, slower to be scary, I'd say. It moves along way too quickly to be truly unsettling. That's just my two cents, anyway. What's here is good, if only needing to be pushed a little further.

Scythemantis responds:

I actually didn't get to see Blue Planet until a bit more recently, I've loved the deep sea abyss since I read about it as a child :)

I'm glad you felt it went by a little fast, other people complained it was too long and slow; I think it's fairly brief!
