===== From chipr@niestu.com: The bar is definitely being raised by animations like this one! Excellent, funny, I laughed, I cried, I pooped my pants. I especially loved the cow's face, the milk on the windshield, and the overall story. The movement of the flying cows was very good, too, although they were a bit stiff. Top-notch work. ===== From agage@mines.edu: Very nice. I think that the time-tested theory of comedy still holds -- flying cows are funny. The attention to detail, even for a cartoonish animation, is great, especially the bitmaps on the semi trailers and the swinging tails of the cows. The character animation is good, though perhaps the mouth could have been better -- it just doesn't seem to fit as well as the eyes into the existing shape of the car. All motion and camera shots are great. Keep it up! Who needs to finish a thesis? ===== From dick@buckosoft.com: Awesome. Great story, well told. The only thing i'd change is i would have liked the final camera to pan up to show a little more horizon and a lot more busses, and then fade to black. Also, you could have merged your credits into the everlasting, self-contained, mpeg file; i think this one will be around for a long time. I would have liked a little more detail on the front of the bus; it looks too much like the back of the bus. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: Very, very, well conceived and executed. Brilliant cut-scenes and editing. Shows a cinematic sensibility. I smiled the whole way through, and actually burst out laughing at the "aerial cow" scene! Perfect pacing. Nice details like the "rear view" roadsign, and swinging tails on the cows. Too bad so many of the models are "borrowed". ===== From karl@pemail.net: Everything a good animation should contain - good camera angles, plenty of movement, various models, and above all a large dose of humour! Everyone who saw this loved it. ===== From nazrat@athabascau.ca: This was the most enjoyed sequence around the office. ===== From bill@apocalypse.org: This animation transcends the medium, the attention to detail, the clever little touches added here and there (my favorite was the milk on the windshield), and the overall sense of professionalism make this animation an instant classic! ===== From hcousineau@usa.net: I like the cows. ===== From r@dmsst59.d.resnet.pitt.edu: My favorite in terms of concept - it lacks the technical brilliance of "Air Freight" but is well executed. Too bad 3DS Max costs so much... Notable for originality, composition ===== From r@cust150.webbernet.net: Great! Story, details, humor, good camera work... you have it all. Rendered at larger size and without mpeg artifacts this is an airworthy little 'toon. I like the easter eggs, the fence, the two wheel curve, the grass in the cow's mouth, Melvin's expressiveness... Making the clouds suitably toonlike was an achievement. But why not a chili dog? ===== From r@pm1-21.spectranet.ca: Great work. A very humorous piece of work! :) Notable for originality ===== From r@auasc7-104.flash.net: Excellent! Second only to McCarter's work in my mind. Pace, composition, etc are all very nice. You clearly understand the elemenents of comic animation. Notable for originality, composition, textures, modelling
