[THAC XIV] Caterpillar
My entry for THAC XIV.
The story of a caterpillar after it hatches from its egg.
Short, sweet, beautiful. Loved the brick built caterpillar, and the eating animation was fantastic! Loved the time-lapse as well. Only thing is I wish the butterfly had flapping wings, and that is was on screen longer, but THAC be THAC.
One of my favorites so far.
Oh, that was good! Besides the rushed feel (what THAC entry doesn't have it, heh), I liked it! 
Thanks for the comments! I really appreciate it.

Yeah... There were supposed to be another couple of shots with the butterfly in them (with flapping wings), but they ended up being cut due to lack of time and my dislike of masking out the supports.
Short but sweet, nice job. The animation of the caterpillar eating was nice (though what was he eating? It was a bit hard to decipher, but this is THAC, so maybe it was intentionally shot around). If I had one criticism, I would have liked a little more payoff on the butterfly reveal. Again, I know it's THAC and there are constraints to fit within, but I think that could have been a great opportunity to use the mod elements in a unique way in designing the look of the butterfly's wings with a bit more detail.
But again, this is a fine film with a nice calm little vibe to it. Good work!
I love his munchy mouth! Great music choice as well, it would have been nice to let it fade more gradually throughout the credits.
Good animation! I like it a lot! the munching caterpillar was the best
