Randomized Shark Silhouettes

Just when you thought it was safe to dive into those murky ocean waters…

This is a drag-and-drop-able silhouette movie clip of graceful-but-deadly, all-vector sharks. Placement, size, speed, distance, and tilt are all customizable via ActionScript and are totally random and unscripted for a very unique and organic feel. Includes a nice animated water background and a rollover bubble effect to boot!
