@Subcide - you obviously haven't been round here much.
Even if you had recreated the original Star Wars trilogy in pure CSS it would have met with cynical commentary.
Don't be so sensitive - keep up the great work!

"It's obvious.. the reason they did it is to play and to show that they're shit hot and can do stuff no one else can do (or at least has done so it looks that way to a potential client/employer)"
To play and learn was the only reason. I had no intention of this thing going as viral as it has, and aside from the small groups of haters missing the point entirely, it's been a pretty positive experience. I've got a job I'm very happy at, and wasn't out to impress anyone into hiring me :)
Thanks for the comments though, and I'm glad there's been some debate on the 'right' way to approach this kind of thing in real-world projects, which is obviously flash, or svg depending on your personal preference.

- ah soory mate wasn't hating, I just assumed that's why you'd have done it. That'd have been my reasoning..Projectile

I have to say - it looks cool and it also could be another ACID_X test for browser, how they actually deal with HTML5 and CSS3. Definitely it shows the potential of HTML5 and CSS3.
Would I do something similar in the real project? Probably no, as it has to many points of failure. It means that alternative versions should be prepared (Flash or low level implementation suing images, divs and JS frameworks to handle the animation) just to avoid this:
Would I do something similar in mt R&D or downtime project? Possibly yes, if I wanted to learn myself, but at this stage I am too lazy...
For better animation and richer effects I would still stick to the flash despite the fact that I am not greatest fan of that technology. That gives very predictable cross-platform behavior.
At the end, it goes down to the target audience (read browsers market).

Dang folks, forgot I'd started this thread and come back to a can of writhing worms!!!

Useless and worth hating

Flash IS a great tool for shit like that. Absolutely. It also had absolutely nothing to do with why I decided to create the CSS whale the way I did. At the end of the day it made a few ppl smile, so it wasn't totally pointless after all :)
- I figured this would be your response. It's pointless arguing with ckentish. He just spews things out from time to time.dMullins

Kinda reminds me of my "pointless" drawing.

It was just a fun little experiment guys. Don't try and make it into more than it is. :)

now that i think about it, we did something similar here about 6 years ago on newstoday in the table art thread. his approach was more tedious, but still..

Take a look at some of these and tell me how they compare to Flash, lines of code wise.
Animating the whale in CSS3 (technically not HTML5, for WIW), it's more like nerd bragging rights.
