Not bad!
Good smooth feel to it.
They looked like lemmings! :D
It may have been a little too slow though..
Reviews for "The Surface of the Water"
BlackmarketKraig responds:
Lemmings... yeah, I see it. :P
It was my first attempt at 24 frames per second, and I think that went a long way toward creating a smooth feel to the movie.
As for the slowness of it, well, yeah, I get that all the time. :\ I still don't know what to say about it though...
Some people seem to like the pacing, some find it a bit slow. It's just the way I make them, I suppose. I was just trying to find a good rhythm for the movie.
Anyway thanks for reviewing, and for the great score!
niiiiceee
that was a very nice movie...brought a tear to my eye....it was easy on the eyes to watch and there wasnt any of that explosion cutting heads off guns crap that i see way to often...newgrounds needs for movies like this, keep it up
BlackmarketKraig responds:
Aww.. thank you so much!
I'll try to keep doing what I do, but you might see the occasional explosion from time to time. ;)

BlackmarketKraig responds:
Thank you, MadestHatter.
...And what a wonderful quote that is. :)
Well done
I'm going to skip what everyone else have already said, such as the water drops and such and just go to what i thought of it. I liked it a lot, however, i'm one of those who dislike watching flash of stick figures fighting each other and such. I thought your flash had a lot of feelings to it, which is what counts. I especially like how you foreshadow the walking on the water with the skipping stone and the same with the water droplets and them going to the bottom of the sea. At first when i saw the girl drowning, i was like.. "OH NO!!!!!" lol, but i quickly realize that she wasn't really drowning. Another nice touch it making her going into the sea first, i thought that was great. One thing that i didn't like was under the sea scene where the there are so many air bubbles going up, maybe it's just my scientific non emotional head but i thought there was too many bubbles, and way too big. Perhaps you don't even need the bubbles to show that it's under the sea. Maybe. Another thing, just a thought, i don't want you kinda ruin things for you but perhaps the guy should get up and lie down next to her, and they can watch the moon from under the sea. I don't know. LOL I liked the animation a lot though, and it's the first one that i brothered to review.
P.S: i didn't think it was slow
P.P.S: i don't think voice acting would work here, or even having subs would work. I think the characters are better off not talking during the flash.
P.P.P.S: i thought the music was right for this flash.
BlackmarketKraig responds:
Wow, that was like a novella! I'm happy that you put so much time and thought into your review, and that you read through the other reviews, as well!
Your sugestions are excellent, but I don't know if I really have the spirit right now to change the bubbles and the ending. But food for thought, right?
Anyway, glad you enjoyed it.
¿?
ok, u r a great flash animator, but i culdn't understand the concept of your movie, i try, i really try but i culdn't, but yeah it's a great flash movie.
BlackmarketKraig responds:
:)
That's cool, the intended meaning of the movies I make is probably only obvious for me. Sometimes people find their own way to identify with them and sometimes they don't... Either way I glad that you could enjoy it.
Thanks for the nice review and great score.
