Description:


    Pacific Data Images provided lip-sync animation to create the illusion of a live cow talking. To achieve this effect, PDI replaced part of the cow’s mouth with a CG lower jaw and morphed the upper lip to the dialogue track. PDI animators also digitally manipulated the cow’s tail for emphasis.
