  1. The supercow is really funny! It's not expected but when it does appear it makes complete sense and really lets the viewer know that its a walking carton of milk. It shows that you really tried working on the walk cycle but still has some jumpy parts to work out. Again, I like supercow but I'd like to see her do something as the cow instead of just kind of appearing for a second and melting back into milk.

  2. Great job with the animation and movement, it was nice and clean. The walk cycle was good, showed good mechanics. Transformation of the milk into the cow was a good idea. The actual milk carton could have turned into something that it would use to better solve the problem of the milk carton transforming. I enjoyed the animation over all.

  3. I think you have a good use of stretching and squashing in the beginning however, when your doing the transformation it seems like your drawing the cow as the frames advance, so maybe working more on the actual transformation of the milk can help the piece, One of the things that I really didn’t like was the 2% type that you had because to me it’s a little distracting. I enjoy the use of gray in the piece and I also like the way the milk looks when it hits the ground it’s really realistic.

    Your concept and choice of characters are pretty clever! And aesthetically, I like how clean and straightforward the lines are, but I think with a funny concept like yours, you could have also played with sketchier brush tool-lines too. The actual walk cycle for the milk carton is drawn very well, but it feels a little slow-mo to me, and I'm not sure "slow-mo" necessarily works conceptually with the rest of the animation. I would agree with Heather about the actual transformation: not enough physical changes in the characters, just disappearing, etc. I think if you want the cow to actually come out of the milk, it would be fun to have it climb out of the puddle rather than just appearing and then shrinking back into it. Overall, I think your piece has a lot of potential, just keep working!
