      Wow, nice!

    • Gi.Am

      That is a weird setting for such a slapstick animation.
      But after getting used to it. It works quite well. Nice work.

      I really liked that animation, and the credits at the end were very original. You don’t often see Blender animations of this quality.

      Very nice.

      The animations where a bit STIFF though, like “move-there-to-move-here-stop!”, but the
      environment and characters where absolutely wonderful, good job!

    • Ed the Tiger

      Seriously the story was heaps weird.
      Otherwise not that bad.

    • Lifeling

      Really fantastic. The sound especially was well done. This adds so much.

    • Frank_robernson

      This is one funny video- i liked it but some of the rigging was off, but over all i liked the idea haha.

      Excellent animation. I can see why it won an award for art direction.

      @Mitch: it was her previous work that won a price. Still, I’m sure she’ll appreciate the compliment ;-)

      Bravo!

    • johnj

      i like it all: story, models, animation, textures, lights, music and sounds…
      but it’s so sad, poor little chick!
      please, do another clip with their jailbreaking! tell me that they are alive!

    • kABHIr

      Fantastic! It’s great to see individuals using Blender to take a project from start to finish like this. Looking forward to seeing more from Anna.

    • Jonathan

      hahaha, ingridients, well thought!

    • TonyM

      Excellent!

      It seemed the upper beak of the chickens moved independently of the head. Although that could be what your going for.

      But very well polished, very good modeling/texturing. Really liked the opening shot.

      Very good soup… Hum, I mean very good movie ! Nice animation, and great work on the models. The sound track is also excellent. Congratulations ! High quality level.

    • nemesis

      I really like this video.

      it is very well done.

      I look forward to seeing more.

    • pixnolve

      Some movie should be banned from the moment they are made…
      And often wonder how come traditional 2d Animation are still very well appreciated…
      By watching I completly understand why…

    • vidrazor2

      Perhaps I’m not so perceptive, but I don’t see what’s so bad about the animation. Seems pretty natural-flowing to me.

      Nice work.

      I have seen and analyzed this short quite a few times. It is simply great….the story did not impress me that much I must confess…but the quality of your modeling, rigging and animation made me quickly think that I still must learn quite a lot. I am missing something good. Hope you can share some of your technical background about lighting and fluent movements…in fact the whole project…it would be a treasure for me.

      Goo Luck!

    • ania

      Thank you for the nice feedback for my animation,
      and thanks to the moderators for putting it here!

      I know about some issues and flaws, which you mentionned, but I’m still learning and hoping that every next animation will be better. There was a point where I had to finish it despite the bad things, took me too long anyway (2 years)

      pixnolve – I know that it’s far from beeing perfect, but I don’t understand why it should be banned from the beginning?

      blenderguy2008 – technical background about light you can find a few making-ofs of other works on my homepage, I use pretty much the same methods always (with the difference that this time there was no GI nor AO). About movements, I recommend you the book “The Animator’s Survival Kit” by Richard Williams, I learned a lot from it.
