(Flash) abstraction of water

I came up with an idea of making a flat and abstract animation from a video.
I choosed an ocean scene form a movie of galapagos islands and tried to extract the colors and movements and make it into another movie that looks totally different. I also made three more videos using the same method and uploaded them to vimeo and youtube.
