Absolutely amazing! Overwhelming attention to detail. Great work with the many layer passes and lighting effects. Camera moves are dynamic and help the narrative along. Best work I've seen using Dreamscape and RealFlow. Congratulations to you guys and best of luck in the future.

great film guys! I love the animation! It reminds me of Final Fantasy's animated films! This is that good! ;)

All the best for your next installment (if there is one)! :)

Really amazing. A sense of doom hangs over the entire thing. Very dramatic sense of foreshadowing and timing.

Great video! I like the environmental context of it (reminds me of the korean animation Wonderful Days/Sky Blue). It is an interesting concept to use Oil as a power of the ocean, because normally people would think "ocean hates the oil, but people love it, so it should love people too".
Great job on staging and transitions. The lighting and character movements look very realistic, yet the shots are hard to interpret sometimes. Particularly where the Crude Oil Menace starts to move containers on the deck.. it looks like they are moving on their own. I would show some of those amazing Oil tentacles slithering between them, it would look more realistic. The main character as I understand is the blonde guy with dreads (not the Oil). There are two places where I would put him more into the frame: first, where he turns to run away from the Oil (the camera shakes and turns 45 degrees ccw as if lying broken on the floor) I would show his feet actually running away from the camera. And the second is the moment where the Oil swallows him. Since he is the main character I would emphasize this moment a bit more. Like show his face close up right before it happens. Something like that.
The last scene, where the Oil is slowly crushing its prey. I like the timing here - it creates the feelings of immense strength and strong anticipation. I kept thinking in my mind "yes, yes, now it's gonna crush it completely!" and was a bit disappointed when that never happened and the stage just faded away.
I always think of the last scene as a 'final blow', an 'ultimate statement' that expresses the idea of the whole film. It leaves the viewers with certain taste in their mouths. Thus, it seems to me that here the last scene could be sharper, leaving the audience in awe and fear of the doom.

Why don't you just DO, instead of telling them what you would have done. Anyone can be a critic. It wasn't ment to be a hollywood production. Why don't you just take it in and respect it for what it is instead of trying to twist it into what you think it should be.
Lidia Churakova 2 years ago

Please don't get me wrong. I absolutely respect the creators of this amazing animation. It is exactly for the reason that it is so good that I have written previous comment. It's not that easy to be a critic. You should know - you are a producer, right?
Nikio 2 years ago

I believe that anyone who puts a video (or any other creative work) online with comments enabled, is seaking for some feedback and it is fair to write an honest one.
Oceansize Team 2 years ago

Yes, you 're right :)

Don't worry Steven D. Herbert, thank you for your help, it's ok :)

Thank you Lidia Churakova for your long and aim message!

So Steven, following your argument, you have to be a cook to tell if a restaurant is good or bad and a mecanic to give an opinion about a car and musician to be able to burn the Jonas Brothers last album?

David Hauka 2 years ago

Beautiful work, but it look like someone decided "The Abyss" should have ended differently. Very advanced in technique and suggests more and better to come. I just want to see a more complex story rather than complex imaging.

Theis Kildetoft 2 years ago

I really really liked the enviroment and how the water looked. Truely amazing guys!

You guys are so talented. But it was so quiet, this would be my favorite movie if you used some better sounds and music. Good sound effects would take this to the next level
Jack Creswick 2 years ago

Theis, agree with your first comment but your speakers must have been turned down. I thought the sound track was as brilliant as the movie, little touches like the lights switching on and the sound diminishing with distance - totally professional!! The music was suitably menacing.

Oceansize, like the band?
mg 2 years ago

Wow! Ridley Scott would be so jealous. In fact, towards the end I would let the dreadlock-guy reach the helicopter and fly away just to make the oil re-appear inside the aircraft when he thinks it is already safe :)

nvidia2008 2 years ago

Really brilliant. Talent there for film VFX work (the CG oil rig), video game development/ cutscenes, feature film (eg. Resident Evil/ Final Fantasy), motion graphics (fluid animation/ effects).

I like how the oil is tentacle-like, globular yet solid.

Only critique would be the oil could have some "splashes" even being solid. Like if you look at some of the "fluid monsters" in Spirited Away and other fluid animation by Haiyo Miyazaki, even though a watery "entity" has a solid feel, it still "loses" some of itself with various splashes, parts breaking off, etc.

artislight 2 years ago

Awesome. Especially good when the dreadlock character runs for his life and you get a good run or slow motion jump with light behind him...! I can still see improvement - the faces were modeled that way on purpose, probably, but the flow of the shots was not perfect - for instance, on his awesome leap as the corridor is broken off and his final moments are not put together well. Anyhow, great job with the lighting, underwater, etc.
Brennan L. 2 years ago

This is why parkour should be a requirement when working on oil rigs with only a minimal crew.

Brilliant animation, great plot.

I didn't need english subtitles, so it's fine.

jk 2 years ago

Fantabulous, mind blowing... I have never seen such a neat use of dreamscape and realflow , besides using mental ray, vray and scanline very aptly. My fav scene would be the jump shot. Even the sound was unique. How long did this project take to complete in terms of pre, prod, and post? What machines were used?

You guys have a wonderful style and I applaud you taking on a science-fiction narrative. With so many cartoons being made in the animation schools, it's refreshing to see this. You guys should post your making-of video on vimeo as well, it's super-informative and reveals just how much time went into achieveing all your shots. Again, excellent job and best of luck to the 4 of you.
