Chicken Cowboy

[django60617]

someone doesn't know how bullets work.

[pizzaforeveryone]

@django60617 yeah--by the time i realized the mistake it was just too much work to change. ah well...

[kaxtorplose]

@pizzaforeveryone It's a cartoon, bullets work any way you want them too. I'm curious though, as to what it was about the bullets that supposedly didn't work? 

[firecracker260]

I saw this in a small movie theater :)

[KRKirsch]

This is still my favorite student film/animated short of all time. Just saw it a few weeks ago again at the Animation Block after-Party!

[pickproductions8]

Dean Antonio showed this to us on the summer film program at Tisch...everyone loved it. Excellent work :D

[peacelovesmilepuppy]

thumbs up if your still watching this in 2011!

[GabinRevolution]

I think the antagonists voice actor could have been more into it....

[umpfh1]

This film is amazing! Extremely inspiring, thank you!

Do you know of the tv show Samurai Jack? Your animation reminds me a little of it. Did any tv show inspire your animations?

[bwaygurl522]

We just watched this in our last Writing The Essay Lecture (Sheril Antonio was the lecturer). LOVED IT! You had all of Cantor laughing :)

[pizzaforeveryone]

@bwaygurl522 that's awesome! thanks so much!

[SubzeroSunshine]

I saw this at the NY Children's filmfest this past weekend, and it was my favorite of the bunch!

It's all wonderful, but I was especially taken with the star-badge throw scene.

Great work!

[PizzaOfDeath2]

[LegoNationAnimations]

@pizzaforeveryone awesome but "I think i put deoterant on this side but not this side." - chicken cowboy

[robkillsforaliving]

This rules.

[FirexKing]

I saw this through lockerz through frederator channel. It's amazing. I say you demand a time slot!

[LemaniaLunox]

I love it! It's incredibly great. *_*

[LemaniaLunox]

I love it *_* It's incredibly great.

[StraightGruesome]

[animationfreek67]

What's the song that starts at 4:40?

[pizzaforeveryone]

@animationfreek67 it's an original by christopher han

[TheSKPFilms]

wonderful film! :D they showed it in colloquium class a couple weeks ago, everyone loved it :D

[cbales]

Just saw this at the South Loop Film Festival in Chicago. Laughed out loud. The chicken cowboy is so cute and you did a great job. Hope I'm not spoiling it for you, but you won the audience award. Congrats!

[gabugurl]

You know, I saw your animatic for this in my preproduction class, and I'm happy I finally got to see the finished product. I loved the textures and coloring you used. The animation style fit it perfectly. The outlaw's voice kind of irked me a bit, but it was alright. I still crack up every time at the "I got your toaster" part and the last thing he says. Very clever. lol.

[KRKirsch]

Hey, we just watched this in my Graphics class at Pratt. Awesome job!

[hmmmmm382]

It's scattershot, but it's brilliant, as opposed to so many things which are consistently realized but dull. Awesome film dude. I wish you were still at Tisch, it would've been cool to pick your brain.

[pizzaforeveryone]

@hmmmmm382 hey thanks a lot (i wish i was still in school too).

[xxtekimxx]

great job makeing this animation film

[jackb5390]

Your animation is beautiful to watch. I really particularly loved your lighting and shadow use. The chicken voice-over was wonderfully silly by the way. It looks like NYU has produced quite a Tischie.

[ZDSpark]

awesome!  i love it!

[ArtisanalTelevision]

Saw this last night at AENY. It made me happy to be alive!

[alexmizer97]

saw this on opening night at nffty 2009 :D

[pizzaman2o1o]

It's toast! Get down!

hahaha

[steveintro]

this made me pissed I had to miss metrocaf...

this is absolutely incredible. Very funny.

[tikisheep619]

My personal favorite for MetroCAF...I clapped and shouted and cheered as loud as I could for this one. Absolutely brilliant!

[jnamnum]

I saw this film at Metro Caf. I loved it!

[ImpossibleVoyage]

Yesss me too i saw it there, this was my favorite by far. everything about this is hillarious, great job!

[lovelymansardroof]

This is so awesome, I love how you have mixed mediums and stuff. You really made that work for you. And the story is so strong with detail and.. I could just go on...

Congrats I heard about MetroCaf!

[pizzaforeveryone]

Thanks a lot! And thanks to everyone who saw it at MetroCaf! I was sad I couldn't make the screening.

[ruizlu01]

Saw it at MetroCaf too, great humor the croud loughed the hardest for this one. Awome!

[WutDaHeckMan]

Saw this at MetroCaf - great job!

What did you use to animate with?

it looks like a mix of puppetted cutouts, hand drawn, and 3d.

[Vaylia]

This was right up there in my top favorites. The whole crowd went hog-wild all over it at MetroCAF tonight!

[FAFRO]

So i saw this today at MetroCAF 2009 and dude, i loved this. It was funny as hell and the animation was sick! the voice actor for the chicken was great as well. I really think that you should take this to adult swim and try to get a show. But again, awesome job man.

[DirkGently42]

I saw this at the TriMedia Film Festival. It got some big laughs.

[pizzaforeveryone]

thanks for watching!

[itcantalk]

i saw this in seattle at an outdoor showing of kungfu panda for some reason. i rlly like it! :)

[LeviHercules]

This was definently one of my favorite movies at NFFTY, cowboy chickens voice is perfect

[pizzaforeveryone]

thanks dude. harry has an awesome voice.

[mngarrison]

I just saw this last night at the ABP, I think I voted for you twice! Wonderful work on so many levels...and I'm not just saying that due to my chicken obsession.

[MsLeCastor]

Did the same. This is great!

[AVDJ]

yes, awesome!!

[snork111]

I was lucky and got to see this at the DGA on Tuesday, and I was blown away. Awesome animation, great sound design, and the story cracked me up. You have to pitch this to Adult Swim for a series!

[theshortieawards]

MHz NETWORKS is a fan! Congrats, S!

[pizzaforeveryone]

Thanks!

[brianlonano]

My favorite film at the ASIFA-East screening. Congrats on the win!

[activeobjectx]

[JasonEppink]

Fantastic.  The live action integration at the end is great, too. Freshest work I've seen since MK12.

[ZDSpark]

this is amazing.  congrats on the asifa award!!

[pizzaforeveryone]

[alexmizer97]

[NavajoJoeFilms]

This was one of my favorite picks from the entire NFFTY 09 showcase! Great job on this project! The audience reaction was amazing and the storytelling was phenomenal!

[pureevilfnord]

This is really great, and it has that rarest of things, it's own original style!

[KEAlcock]

Well done!

[mikeboas]

Congrats on the ASIFA win!

[slinkiwaffel]

[ToddawgFilms]
