High Quality animation, as always from HBC. I love the athmosphere, which is this time a bit more mellow and mysterious, due to the underwater theme.

starts so great but then it leads nowhere. too bad because the setting is nice. sorry, can't even pigg it.

Really enjoyed this one. Only on point of criticism: that font…

Didn't expect to ever see this finished. Thank you.

Funny. Two days before assembly I thought about Subsurface and if we ever see the final. :) Nice scenes but the ending seems a bit abrupt.

A school of kahen kilon siikas swimming by.

The only worthwhile thing in the compo (which they can close down, really, the lack of good material in the last couple of years has been appalling); doesn't quite pack the "7-years-in-the-making" oomph that I was hoping for, but it's very decent still.

great! abrupt ending is the only minus.

Very nice underwater rendering. I esp.like how the seabed looks.

Quite relaxing, but yeah it felt like it was just starting to get going somewhere when it ends. Oh well.

Top-notch stuff visually, but feels pointless in the end.

[insert random rant about not being on the level hbc used to be at]
The fishes look flat, boring... The teaser, released 7 years ago, is as complex as this. IMO this is just another Variform 2, released to mark an unfinished project as finished. Now go on and try to make something fresh. Even your old party filler prods like "Blot", "Elemental Square Garden", and "How to use Blender" had more soul.

I guess that FRD-15 had an unfortunate ending for it's field trip. Cool entry. For some reason I thought it was untypically dull (for HBC) at the party place but saw it in a different light at home. Thought it was too short actually. :)

xernobyl, there is some truth in that Variform thing, as it was clearly time to get the prod finished and move on. I like the fish thou :<

I don't think the fish look consistent with the rest.. You have the cartoony truck and rounded things moving, the abstract transparent thing, and the more or less realistic fishes and scenery. Looks arbitrary to me.
More Aesterozoa next time you decide to go underwater!

Absolutely beautiful

Still the best animators in the scene.

I don't get how this is 'pointless' or why it has to 'lead somewhere'. I think it's pretty clear what this prod intends to be and does it quite well.

The "under the brigde" scene is reaally good!

It's really wonderful! I think you captured a fantastic underwater feeling with this demo.
rulez added on the 2016-10-05 20:04:35 by Dalton Dalton
Aww man, such a shame it ends abruptly, I was actually fascinated how much more balanced the tone was for a HBC release in comparison to the zany previous ones. Even with this these guys are still way beyond the wild demo category.

Great stuff! Love this ambient track by D Fast, stunning piece.

Not your usual HBC, but still lovely. What Gargaj said about the ending.
