It really did that classic justice, I'll never think about that song the same again

I'm not a big fan of symbol flash. But I love the character designs and the way you told the story. Enter this thing into as many film festivals as you can. You're bound to win something. :cool:

Nice animation, loved the cow. Your compositions worked really well, and the figure with the subtitles were quite cute.

Was the voice from the movie trainspotting?

hope you will find time to do some more animation some day!

Hi Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate you taking the time out.

Your comments are great, This is my first short film ( I do hope to make more) but my passion is character design and illustration.

I made the film in part as a way of giving some life to my scribbles. Hopefully if I keep working hard I'll get a chance to make character design my career.

Thanks again.

Stuart Bradbury

P.S I'll check out your film, and drop you a note.

Hi,

Thanks again for all your positive feedback.

The voiceover was actually done by me. The project was such a homegrown poject that I did everything except the sounds and music, which were done by my friend Nick Whitely.

The Scottish accent just seemed to work, which by the way sounds nothing like my normal accent. I hope I got away with it.

I'll be posting details my new project on the site very soon. If you join my forum I'll drop you an email.

I loved the color and textures, and though I'm no expert, I loved the accent.

I liked it enough to show it at the end of class today and tomorrow for my multimedia students. Good reactions from them.

i really like the part when the cow is running.

Neat idea and cool style.

I liked it.

What i liked least was probably the narrator script. At the end it seemed kinda...eh...not precise and clear.

The cows reentry was funny. I thought it was good but it felt like it was draging at the begining.

Thanks for the feedback. I really welcome all comments, I'm not sure if you read my introduction on the website, but... its my first piece of animation and my first film.

So.. feedback will help me make the next film better.

I felt that the timing of the film worked well while I was compiling the final version. But as with all things I have watched it around 200 times now and changed my mind of the layout about 100. I think it will allways be like that.

I'm glad you both enjoyed parts of the film.

I look forward to showing you my future work

Thanks again, it means alot to me.
